Blade StepM urder is too immoral,
A void it I must.
S o, instead of killing
O thers, I'll
C onvert my blood-lust.
H ave a pack of razors, son,
I know you need to
S have...I'm sorry, but,
M um, I haven't used them in such wholesome ways.

T ear away the packaging,
O pen the desk drawer.
O n my walls I've scrawled in blood:
K ill, bleed me, more.

M urder doesn't suit me, no,
Y et harming myself is fine,

S o scar away,
O n any day,
U nder brutal self-attack, but I don't mind, I
L ove it anyway.

DreamingI dreamt about you. It felt summery and gorgeous. The wind was howling away and we were shivering to death, but none of that mattered. Presently, the rain began, a hundred million beautiful tiny droplets of water like tears from your God came rushing earthward and landing on the already-dewed grass.

Then, suddenly, we were outside the old art-block at school. The rain was heavier by now. Your hair is wet. And so is mine; I see this as I look down at you and my hair flops lazily over my left eye, meaning I can no longer see through it, and as a result I relish for a few moments in being able to empathise with you only having one eye.

Traditional Art / Paintings / Abstract

Oil / Ply wood - 900x300mm

A face in the confusion of my dreams.

Got this in a higher quality, larger resolution? I'd like to see the texture in more detail.

No, unfortunately I don't. I only managed to take this photo of the piece before it was sold. This was just an experiment at the time - a one off - But a friend of a friend liked it so much that they decided to buy it from me and now it resides in another part of Australia. Sorry about that - I wish I had a higher quality image too. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to look at my work - Cheers!!!

The top of this painting almost resembles ripples. I can't describe the colours I see in my dreams. Or if I even see colour when my eyes close!
I must agree that it is daunting though...but not always does colour have to elaborate the concept...

Thank you...You really do take the time to interpret my paintings from your perspective - I like that. I am sure you must dream in colour - if you don't that would be a shame.

~lysaght Oct 12, 2005

Thanks, I hope my interpreting just doesn't seem like I am trying to make my own interpretation more valid than yours, even if it is subtle or within clarity...

~sworph Oct 12, 2005

No...You're fine - I appreciate what you have to say - thank you!

Thank you so much! I love your take on my painting - great perspective. I am so glad you like it so much - your words are very much appreciated!!!!!!

Brilliant! This reminds me of Venice, very much... almost like you have a bridge and it is reflected ten fold off the water producing a magnificent abstract effect. Lovely painting, I love the colours.
