Description DESIRE by U2

Lover, I'm on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar...on fire
Desire

She's a candle burning in my room
Yeah I'm like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire...

And the fever...getting higher
Desire, desire...burning, burning

She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah she's a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love or money money money
money money money money money
money money money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Desire, desire
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is unlikely that any portrait will ever do Desire justice, since to see her (or him) is to love him (or her), passionately, painfully, and to the exclusion of all else.

Desire smiles in brief flashes, like sunlight glinting from a knife-edge. And there is much else that is knife-like about Desire.

Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine: Desire is everything you have ever wanted. Whoever you are. Whatever you are.

Everything.

--- Desire as described in the Gallery of the Endless [link]

Drawn with a very dull 2B clutch pencil. I think this will be the last member of the Endless family in my gallery. Sorry!

for some reason... this reminded me of...... ~Razekiel .



waaa don't kill me Nicky! I think it was the 80's-y look or the thought that 'Desire is androgynous' combined with Raz's love for 80's music and Duran Duran
hahaha!
coolness

Beautiful work. You really did an excellent job of interpreting Desire's androgynous look without making him/her sway to either side of the gender spectrum. The mussed-up curled hair really works here, I adore it.

Thanks a million! I thought the curls would look nice on Desire. Glad you like him/her!

WanderingKotka In reply to batangbatugan [2005-05-04 00:46:04 +0000 UTC]

They do, it's a nice change from the usual slicked back look Desire usually has. Maybe it's post-coital Desire.
