I have found that it helps your creative wheels turn. So following  is a short poem probably inspired by one of the artists below. It is very old so I am not sure.


You lay me on a bed of thorns and let nature take its tow 
free me from a life of comfort and release me into the darkness alone so I can find the light.
carve an image of me in your heart mind and soul so that you don't forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart.
my love why do you torture me?
