Pencil drawing of a smiling girl by me


I decided to use more of my Vellum paper to make a portrait. Having just recently done a sad boy, I decided to search the database I had subscribed to for a smiling young girl and chanced upon one that appealed to me.

Having dedicated too much time to the eyes in my last drawing and not enough on the rest of the face, I decided I would only do an outline of the eyes and complete them after doing the rest of the drawing. I think that it makes for a more harmonious overall face but I will let you be the judges of that.

And as always, mixing the visual, sometimes the spoken but always an audio of the moment, I give you a song which I liked associated to the drawing.
I decided to add hair on the left side as there was too little and it was not symmetrical

Stand my tease

Bring me to my knees

Wail me dry

Shrill my cry

Take me to kingdoms driven

By Hope and fear slight

 

Help me laugh

From your book’s humour

Stealth me chaff

Through death’s veil

Bring upon my eyes lost smile

What we used to be

 

Watch me fall

And then rise me tall

Hail me fast

Make it past

Loss and rotten tomatoes

Tragic comedy

Thoughts rushing like shards

Withered stories of the past

A suit of tremors

 

Random cuttings loose

Around my body’s fillings

Stuffed liver in goose

 

The sea broke in me

With blue waves that surged hungry

Silenced sound of shells

He said come on smile

It is all just dark shadows

Discard them a while

I yearned to be free

Make sorrows a future thought

Memories’ splinter

 

So I wrecked my cheeks

Breaking them into rictus

Taught line of pretence

 

I painted my face

Frozen mask of happiness

Waters filled my Heart

.

Long wasted in wait

Time had come for the movement

That in the Heart speaks

 .

Curtains rise falling

The morrow’s tales hang in past

From puppeteer’s strings

 .

Wrenched free from lies’ clutch

Walking in Truth in Heart’s ways

Confusion melts soft

. 

Inching away Grief

Rewriting slates has its ends

Within Heart of Truth

. 

All sorrow is spent

Spirit sows in bosom Love

Of the highest kind

. 

Untethered backwards

Climbing back into the Trees

The falling leaves smile

. 

Ask for the meanings

Uncover the other side

Flow into Heartpath

Your hand in mine strong

We walked into green pastures

Love was fruit and bloom

 

In rapture by shores

Flowing into the river

Each other haunting

 

Looking within you

Beloved in ecstasy

Into me you breathe

 

Your heady scent soared

Beyond headiest flowers

Sage and lily white

 

I held you trembling

Your arms around spelt powers

It surged through your frame

 

Gazing at your face

The smile of Love reaching look

That gushed loving Heart

 

Those sinuous lines

I marvel at their beauty

Decorating eyes

Love the greatest choice

A Heart chooses Heart

In a world where derision

Is erected flag

 

Life can be silly

Life can be a tragedy

Life can be witty

 

Love flies own colours

It heeds not the dark of day

Forever rides bright

 

Breathe I, breathe he?

Single lung within to share

The rasping of Time

 

Choices we do make

Unbeknownst to rolling stones

Gravity helps fly

 

Look upon mountain

The tilt in your heart provides

Smooth clean downward slopes

 

Breathe in then breathe out

My blood anew I will grant

In the name of Love

Sacred is in move

I will walk to your valley

Pray meet me ahead

 

Within or without

I will never bend to fear

None to sacrifice

 

Breathe he, breathe we?

Single Air within to bare

Purified by HeArt

 

Choices we do make

Unbeknownst to loving souls

Regret kills all joy

 

Life can be comic

To strip your heart off your smile

To dispel magic

 

When all spells are cast

Magic can only usher

Love the greatest choice

 

A Heart chooses Heart

In new World where only Love

Is ignited flag

Mocking hill stood stark

Against pains of memory

That stretched envy green

.

Bluebirds flew silent

Into cages that shut light

Delicate bones snapped

.

Feather by feather

The peacock loses glory

As the swamp moves in

.

A stretch of time’s wings

Borrowed from ancient black caves

Where noises spun dark

.

Silver coins drop

Exchange is in losses’ weights

I will read your fate

.

Hop to the music

Twist of luck for you hunchback

Quasimodo heals

.

Hold hands with puppets

Heart reeling with the strings’ pull

Pearl by pearl stitch souls

.

Adorn fools’ beret

Step dancing into the jig

Smile is for wearing

.

Grimacing heart’s ache

Twitched and writhed in irony

Happily ever laughter

Did I see you smile?

Your teeth flashed white in my mind

Lighting mind darkened

.

Glimpses of your face

Haunt my every waking hour

As the dream unfolds

.

Nocturnal flight stilled

Longing of soul connection

As we interlocked

.

Brief encounters spoke

Of challenging times for hearts

That had shunned true Love

.

Racing pulse set free

Twin bodies from worldly ties

Back where they came from

.

Soaring in delight

Giddiness of the fusion

Overcame the souls

.

Daybreak cut through spleen

Ripping bond of nighttime’s cares

Joys now forgotten

.

Lost souls retreated

To realms of blue wilderness

Wishing for morrows

.

Purity of hope

Interwoven with light makes

The fabric of dreams

Don’t cry for me for heavens will now smile

When you loved me then I became all Love

So I may feel fires in your bosom

I was your moon and your sorrow-filled dove

I was your flower never to blossom

 

When your heart ached I became all heartache

So I may be one with all of your pangs

And none of this could ever make me quake

Not even the thoughts of death’s sharpened fangs

 

Divided by such a thin paper wall

Between the nothingness and everything

Absorbing Love lessens shock of the fall

My Love, my light, my prince, nay say my King

 

As I wither into eternal sigh

My arms heavy cloaked in loss of morrow

Your Love lends me bliss and hopes oh so high!

Of more time, just time that I could borrow

 

Time still marble would not lend me a while

And as I croak, throat parched by your absence

“Don’t cry for me for heavens will now smile”

Again I choke on your renewed fragrance

Can Earthly love heal?

Can Earthly love heal?

7 August 2015

 

Path to down under

Heaving with the keen longing

Of forgotten Grace

 

Listless I walk sole

Survivor of gushing wounds

That severed my soul

 

Walking in my trail

Your eyes follow my blithe frame

In dreams we unite

 

While I catch your gaze

Stillness turns turbulent flood

Lucid reverie

 

The warmth of your breath

Rekindles love’s memories

That stood still in time

 

The heat of your smile

Pierces through the icicles

That clung to my lids

 

The fire in your heart

Setting ablaze liquid soul

That dissolved in love

 

My fingers lay slight

Asking of the edge of you

Can Earthly love heal?
