Somewhere Between...Somewhere between
Where darkness meets light
And day meets night
You wait, unseen

Somewhere beyond
The land of my dreams
Or so it seems
You wait, anon

I reach through the darkness
Feeling my way
Sensing the shadows
Searching for day

And though the light
Is yet to be seen
I know you are there
Somewhere between

Somewhere between
The darkness and light
Day and Night
Shadows and starlight
Hope and fright
Fantasy and sunrise
Gasps and sighs

Somewhere...

You wait
You wait
You wait

Unknown
Unheld
Unseen.

All Your LullabiesSing, sing, sing me to sleep in your lovely way (oh oh oh)
Sing, sing, sing me to sleep it's the close of another day (oh oh oh)
And all your lullabies are melting all my alabis
It's funny how the time it flies no matter how hard it tries

To hold still.

Caress me, undress me, and bless me, caress me again and again.
I'm drowning in you, all that is you, all that is glorious you. (mmmmmm)
Kiss me again in the rain through the strain and the pain -- all the beautiful beautiful pain.
I'm melting in you as you take me again, and again, and again.

Sing to me baby you know that I melt when you do
mmmhmmmm...
Sing to me baby, I

More Beautiful Than The DreamUniverse
Blessed Universe
My love and light
Filling my heart with song and joy
Wash over me
Beautiful
Beautiful
Delight

There is nothing so beautiful and pure
Than universal light
Those tiny rays of truth
Illuminating my heart and mind
Expanding my consciousness
And whispering
awake
To my soul
Too long slumbering
Shrouded in shadows
Far, far too long

Crystalline waters
Shimmering as from a light within
Cascade through every corner
Of my once comatose consciousness

...awake...
...awake...

The reality is far more beautiful than the dream!

What I've DoneWhat I've Done
I can't take back
It's scrawled
Like angry, ugly
permanent marker
across my soul
and yours
Every time
I've crushed
Your fragile heart
It takes a part
Of mine
I'm dying
Over and over
I hurt you again
And over and over
you've returned for more
You love me more
much more than I deserve
When loneliness
is all I am
and all I give
in return
in return
Should I fight for you this time
this time
When my hands are bloodied
With a thousand crimes
And your heart is bleeding
in my hands again
Should I fight for you
Should I fight for you
Or let you go
let you go
let you go
If I love you
As I say I do
Wha

That Place I Need To BeBarbs, chill against the grey, the air raises bumps upon my skin
I shiver
Defiant of another day without the sun to warm me
Pressing ever onward
My skin craves the warmth
My face, my heart hungers
For the golden sustenance
Like soothing honey
Chicken noodle soup
For all that ails my aching soul
My ever aching soul.

Calmly I feel a sort of empty peace
Not the full peace I know I’ll some day feel
But the kind of peace that tells me
Someday
It will come
That break in the dark clouds
The long journey over
I will
At length
Arrive

I am
On a path
That leads
To the
Place
That Place
I need to be
I’ve always been

Scarlett Progress So Farby *xialaceleste

Scraps

OK, so another hour was all to get it to this point. So a total of 12 hours now and I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I thought this was a fun was to look at the progress.

As you can see I picked a skin tone for the background. I put that on one layer and locked it.

Then I did the sketch on another layer and locked it.

The left eye has something like 9 layers, the right has 5 or 6. The nose, lips, and face all have a couple of layers. I'm sure I'll do more work on the face, but next I'll move on to the ear, then jaw and neck. And then it'll be really fun doing the fur and her hair (yikes, someone save me!!!!)

Thanks for watching...for those who don't know, this is my second digital painting...I typically work in graphite or colored pencils - I've never even done a real painting, so this is a double learning experience for me.

I am using a Wacom Intuos3 4x6 tablet, Photoshop Elements 4 (Mac OS X) and primarily use soft round brushed and vary the size and opacity to suit my needs.

Lotza love!

I love how it's like a real face, surrounded with the drawing stuff, like it's coming to life...well now I'm reminded of Frankenstein and am frightened. You sick freak.
