Walk Aloneby ~DickStarr

Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Visual & Found Poetry

Walk Alone

No one holds me when I cry,
no one hears me when I sigh,
I walk alone.
Comforting myself,
with arms so thin and weary.
Loneliness
yet I am surrounded.
Existence can be dreary.
I walk alone.
But there is solitude
in the silence of one's mind.
Peace would surely leave me
if love I was to find.
No one holds me when I cry,
no one hears me when I sigh,
I walk alone.

-Louise Bohmer

This is the second of five poems I'm illustrating for an upcoming book of dark poetry called "From Dandelions to Razor Blades" to be published later this year. I've never been asked to illustrate anybody's poetry before, so I was kinda nervous about doing it. Especially since I had to come up with 5 pics. However, instead of artwork for a story meant to be literally translated onto paper, I was able to draw anything inspired by the poetry. Louise Bohmer's poems turned out to be alot of fun. I had no problems coming up with the pics to accompany the writings as most of them were pretty dark and morbid. Considering the artwork is inspired by the poetry, I figured I'd post the poem along with the art. I finished all five pics over the weekend.

I love this piece, it's either that her dress is caught in some silent/invisible wind...or that she is fading away.

Beautiful!

~DickStarr Jan 13, 2007

Thank you.

Awesome!
However one thing throws the drawing off a tad. Just a smidge, but I think the extended arm could be bent slightly more, or perhaps the hand opened and maybe at a different angle.

Otherwise it's the damned creepiest thing... especially those eyes... o.O

~DickStarr Jan 12, 2007

I actually agree with you on the hand thing. Maybe I'll jump in there and fix it. Thanks.

I only said something because it was a woman-
a man could get away with looking stiff. lol
I fully enjoy your work~ <3

~DickStarr Jan 29, 2007

No problem, thank you for the honesty.

Sometimes I feel that way . . . just sometimes.
Really well written poetry and justly done artwork
