Description Person in photograph: Me


When I sleep, I can only think of you.

Faceless, nameless
She came to me.

Lost or broken,
Misguided or confused,
Far from unspoken

Did she discover.

Rewind the ticking,
Inverse the words,
Begin again

Did she come to me.

Grasp ahold of life, my love
Angels cannot fly but walk,
So that experience is proof,
And knowledge burdening in truth.

What cannot remind you of yourself,
Rediscover this in our health.

This life is not lost,
I stole it from you.
Let me spare you mine,
So that purpose is found,
Not remade.

Become anew in me.

Symbols of life,
Broken of meaning.
Replenish the word,
And define it again.

Symbols of living,
Fixed of meaning.
Unite the word,
And speak it again.

Look and paint,
A photograph of life.

Look and gaze,
A photograph of reality.

Not Faceless, nameless
She came to me.

Not lost nor broken,
Not misguided nor confused,
Not far from unspoken

Did we begin, again.

Symbolism: The cross is something I hold dear to me for the reason of how it reminded me of myself within Bethany. It was a gift to me from herself.

Words can't explain how very beautiful this whole thing was put together. I know it's late since I am seeing this as of right now but congrats to you both on your 1 year.

Ah, this is very old, but yes, I remember making this very well. I remember how she enjoyed it when I fell asleep at random times, as well as having to witness it visually. So I thought of this idea for her. Thank you for your wishes, it is now 1 year and 7 months.

I might have said this before, but the love and adoration that you and Bethany share for one another is incredibly touching.
I hope that you surmount any adversity that comes your way; remember that love is the strongest force of all.

Did you now? I am quite empowered to see a fellow member of DeviantART be an attender from Animeworld. I am glad you support my visual art, thank you. May I ask who you attended as? I am assuming you were not one of those who took a picture of me.

Deetachi In reply to Leustante [2011-09-10 16:47:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes I did I had such a great time there. I absolutley love your writing and cosplay! L is one of my favorite anime characters and I'm glad I can find someone who portrays him perfectly! I didn't cosplay at Animeworld because my cousin and I went on short notice. I actually did take a picture with you but I haven't gotten a chance to upload it yet. Hopefully I will soon and you can check it out?

Ah, I am thrilled, please know I do look forward to seeing it and I will add you to my watch list out of courtesy. I am pleased that you enjoyed yourself at the convention, admittedly that event was indeed the most successful when it came to my primary objective being there; which was to receive respect and gain a few friends. It was a terrific effort, and since that was it's first year I am certain as time continues it will have more events and become even better and recognized. I personally prefer smaller conventions because it increases the comfort level of people when it comes to meeting and remembering faces. Thank you again for your support.

(: Thank you! I am also glad you enjoyed yourself. It was my first convention and from the looks of it, I know it will be successful also. And if you don't mind me asking, do you have a Facebook? I would love to get to know you better!

When I first saw this, I wasn't sure how to write my thoughts on it so I just favorited it. Now I'll say I love the softness of the photo, and the cross in front. The poem is beautiful! Bethany is a lucky girl to have you! You're very talented in art and writing. ^^

I am lucky enough to have her, she is very much the source of how my passion appears I would not be much of who I am unless she came into my life. I am glad you are a supporter of me even still and respect my personal life along with it. Thank you.

These words that you pulled into an extravagant piece of art... You are a genius, and a beautiful lover. I could not help myself, I had to read your poem at least a dozen times...Imagining what it would sound like if your voice spoke it aloud to me.
And the image is remarkable to my heart. My cheeks seemed to flush, and I could not help but to smile when I saw how you purposefully laid the necklace out for all eyes to see. For them to see that I will forever be with you.
I love you, Leu. I will always be yours, and you will always be mine.
Happy 1 Year Anniversary.
