New York City, the 1920s Center of the artisitc universe Young artist in his 20s Forefront of the avant-garde Starving artist, trying to make a name Working hard, trying not to play the game But very soon, his life will never be the same Subject of his art Woman of beauty and grace Painting her life on his canvas She would be his subject, his muse This painting would be a breakthrough It would lead the way to a movement new He could then join the ranks of the few Woman of beauty and grace Stole his heart Fell for her hard, took his soul More than his muse, became his life Took her image, preserved it for all time Gave her immortality, made her shine But then, that's when she crossed the line Took his gift and hid it from all Kept it for herself Others would not see his soul Others would not share his life One day he went too close to the edge Took that final step over the ledge Died for his art, to escape that wedge The painting hangs on the wall, untouched, unseen, unknown. . . unloved ----------------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 04-28-2000).] |

Another tragic tale Sven, let's hope this life is all you dreamed of and more!!  A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
