    Threshold of Realism and Surrealism

    Realism is a distant, flickering star. I know not what the tastes of reality are.   Some will share this glimmering sky with me, and to them, fortunate enough to see   a surrealist, star-blanketed day-sky.   I abide by the lonely confines of the only home...

    Poetic Firestorm

    It is a firestorm that rages and whirls within my body, that no hand of sanity can smother.   My innards burn, my blood boils, the flesh upon me bubbles.   Sane, as I may have been before, the virtues that encased this body with innocence has long but...

    Remembering To Forget

    As I remember, I learn to forget the buoyant memories that linger. When I am foundering, I resurface, only to drown in the world’s stigma.    As masking as the calm, glassy sheet segregating this pond of thought is, this curtain between dreams and the world has...

    Moths of Pompeii

    • Such lava!
      The artwork is incredible! The write of course is so your style of unique phrasing. Clever wording to go with the picture, well, vice versa. Your talent is showing!

    • Wow… I really like this Adelphina.
      It’s like you picked me up at the start and wasn’t going to put me down untill I finished it. And I’m glad you did. Amazing.

      • I’m glad you enjoyed! The whole reason artists make art is to move people.
        Whether through words, art, or music. I’m glad to have payed it forward since you do the same for us here
        on the site:). Thank you for stopping by!

    • Very good… the art … the words … everything you do is very good as usual

      • Hi Sam!
        Thank you for that. Means a lot, seriously:)
        I started taking digital art classes last year and this one was extra special to me so I thought I’d share.
        Venturing into uncharted territory has its benefits!

        Thanks again!

    • beautiful word choices and artwork lovely Adelphina ❤️

      • Hello lovely:)

        I’m so happy you enjoyed. Made my evening seeing you on my page chica!
        It’s been an amazing experience learning new ways to express myself.
        Thank you for stopping by!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend and the artwork compliments it nicely. Appreciate you.

      • Damien, amigo! Thank you!
        This was an extra special write because it was such a sad historical event.
        The remnants are still here for everyone to view. Not sure how I feel about that.
        Having other peoples pain on display. Just feels like such an intrusion.

        But you know what is pretty cool to display, your rocking avatar’s hair!! Hahaha
        Had to lighten up this comment, I meant no offense:)

    • The poetry & artwork gel so wonderfully here. Marvelously written Adelphina.

      • Hey there! Poetry and artwork is my new jam!
        Now it’s all I think about. lol
        What would be something cool to make to accompany my poem!
        I brainstorm to get ideas then get started.
        Takes longer but I don’t mind.

        Thanks for stopping by
        I’m super happy you enjoyed!

    • I’ve seen the frozen bodies of Pompeii. he families that died together in their homes. I’m sure they would have been happy to have wings to fly away on. Great poem of butterflies and great art work, Adel. 🙂

      • Hey Tim!

        Hey, I’m Adelly to you mister! Where did she go? Hahah
        With all the suffering that happened I wanted to make this poem bittersweet.
        And I kept having these visions of moths flying around. Some are huge, as big as your hand!
        Off my mind went and this is what I came up with. After I finished drawing my first moth, I felt like a proud mama! lol
        I’m glad you enjoyed!

        Thanks for stopping by!

    • Powerful imagery. Superb work.

    • Hi Thomas.
      Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed:)

    • There’s absolutely nothing about this whole page that isn’t magical and I love it so ..

      p.s. I’ve been to Pompeii several times and understand entirely where you & those moths are coming from .. 😎🦋🦋👍

      • Hi Nev,
        Thank you for that. Means a lot amigo. I can’t even imagine how it must have felt like, being there in person.
        The fact that their remains are still in tact and have not broken down is astounding to me.

        Thank you for stopping by!

    • You a more than welcome .. my pleasure entirely .. 😎

    • This is pure art in motion. I could just lose myself in the beauty of your poem. I was mesmerized by the impressionist wonder within your poem. A real gem to read tonight.

      John

      • Hi John,

        Thank you for that. Love the words impressionist wonder. With this piece I wanted to give some light even when everything feels so helpless. I’m happy you enjoyed the read.

        Thanks for stopping by!
