surrealistic sensualities, intimate illusions & other misdemeanors of love, lust, loss & longing

“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love; but then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love; to be happy then is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy; therefore to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness… ” - Woody Allen, Love & Death
“That for which we find words, is something already dead in our hearts.” - ` Friedrich Nietzsche

Hi CharlzC,
Thank you for your recent comment on my blog. I appreciate it. I'm happy to know that you are enjoying the blog :)
I like your blog as well! I will be 'following' it from now on.
I was wondering, the painting that you included in this post for ...who is it by?
Its actually a b&w photo I lifted from someone's Myspace page.
Although I forget exactly what keyword I used searching Google images, but I was looking for a couple paired in "Afterglow" that I already had the lines.
I like to "Google" my thoughts and inspirations just as I found your blog.
Still I am not prone to using photographs that I prefer paintings or pencils, but I will use photo manipulations if they have the "essence" of a painting.
Black & whites are hard to manipulate into paintings so I had to make it more a charcoal/dark penciled sketch.
I have four graphics programs I use, and even though I'm "blind" I'm very adept at them.
My poem Ophelia, if you Google the image and find the lengthwise view you will see the watermark I removed and blended.
I think my version is actually better than the original.
When I showed the instructor of web design class the before and after images all he could say was "wow" and asked me why I was even taking the class. :)
Well I need to be "certified" I told him. :)
I like it here at blogger because they aren't fascists the administration is at Myspace or most poetry posts and certainly Photobucket that I have to employ 6 image posts to keep my profile up there.
But if you saw my Myspace page it would take your breath away, its everything I have here except on one endless webpage.
Thank you very much for replying, you are sweet to be so kind.
