All I can say is... I was here, I read, and I saw. Other than that, I don't have the words to describe what I felt when I saw this picture and read your words. But I can add that it awakened something deep inside me --- a "primitive" memory I can't put words to, but I feel it.
This is so very deep. A primeval feel to it. Excellently done.
Seriously creepy!
Drinking shadows for a soul....such emptiness. How many times have I mistaken form or style for substance and found myself empty and thirsty?
Thanks for this powerful poem.
Excellent job creating the bleakness!
Dark, deep piece.

This poem has deep feelings in it.
It's a beautiful presentation! I am in awe of your many talents, not the least of which is your Photoshop mastery!
But I can't help wondering if, like me, you just finished reading the Twilight series!? ;-)
