Hey guys, it’s sick-season, and my sick-brain just spat out… a poem? Can I call this a poem? I don’t know. But I thought I’d be brave and just go ahead and post this. Please, don’t think I’m creepy. š
Ever day, different places
Beautiful people, beautiful faces.
I don’t know why, I don’t have the courage to ask,
“Can I draw you?”
That’s kind of weird…
I’m kind of weird…
Is that okay?
Wait.
Hold it right there
Don’t move a muscle
Your eyes…
The light…
I need to memorize this moment.
Is that weird?
Yes?
Fine.
I’ll just go make some more fan art
Arwen Evenstar won’t judge me
If I want to capture the light, the shadows, the color…
Am I weird?
Okay.
Time for the truth.
Fan art is safe.
It’s okay if your subject is a stranger.
But what if I just want to capture
A beautiful moment?
And what if that beautiful moment
Is you?
I think I’m brave enough.
Is that okay?
Okay.

I love it. So relatable. Also, I like the way you split up the sentences and phrases on different lines. It made the poem feel very ominous and thoughtful.

CHALICE IM SO GLAD YOU POSTED THIS
because yes, I absolutely understand what you mean there
.
when a ray of light falls on someoneās face and their eyes turn to fire
or it brings out so many different colors in hair
.
honestly, being an artist has taught me to see things in a completely different way,, and I have never loved a poem about art more
