'Mentally somewhere else': Realistic self portrait with pencil + poem: 'Print of peace'

'Mentally somewhere else'
28x45cm
Pencil on paper
2017

PRINT OF PEACE

A horizon
riddled with bright spots
slowly becomes visible
beyond physical sighs
Where disposed reasonings
stare into the void
of the daily portability

Within
a piece of obsession
located in every corner
between awareness and despair

My body
full of moods
balances
between noise and survive

I dance all dangers
to the horizon
and back
only to encounter myself
to an illiterate time

This time without words
is looking for something
of man's hands
Between the green and tender
of the dank morning sun

When everything had yet to come

Romaan... Namoor... Chris... I am going to call you AMAZING. Nah I will call you Romaan, yelling "AMAZING!!!" every time I see you might get old, although I am pretty sure it would be just as relevant every time. You sir, are amazing. Why is it always people that have social anxiety and profess the need to shut themselves away that can pierce right through the dross and burn a perfect circle, neatly cauterized, straight through my heart to shine a light to the other side? Oh yeah, probably because people that get overwhelmed by people are the ones who can truly see what is going on. People are overwhelming. I love you man! I feel like I know you pretty well, having just read a few of your posts, your vinyl collection and your introduceyourself post, and of course I don't know you, but I am being very truthful when I say I love you. You are amazing. I love you.

I love your work! I hope you might consider putting a chalk mural outside or finding a legal place to paint something in your neighbohood. Inbelieve your words and art are meloncholy which is very close to joy and has its own special place.

Thank you for you kind words, appreciate it a lot!

Already thought about your challenge, only the deadline is a problem. This month my agenda is occupied with three different project. Just saying that it's almost impossible for me to create a qualitative piece. And I don't like half work so I'll pass this time and hope you continue organising challenges where I can participate.

Cheers @limabeing!
