The 'X' And... "How it once was"

.
Title:
The 'X'
.
Size A2
A 2024 portrait of my ex-wife.
Using an old A3 portrait of her form from over 30 years ago as a visual reference for this new larger-sized retelling.
I have inserted myself into this one -
I am the dead mutilated body she is squatting on.
Can you feel the hate?
.
.
And...
Title
"How it once was"
.
Size A3
My ex-wife when she was 18, back when we loved each other.
Can you feel the love?
.
.
I am now considering BOTH portraits as part of a joint set.
Costing £45 for the two-piece set.
(Physical copies only - reproduction rights negotiated separately.)

Individual talents.

By Ross E F Lombardi

.

Not everyone is meant for everything.

For instance,

.

I will never be good at football,

But...

I am OK at drawing,

Everyone has their own thing,

.

Not everyone is talented at everything,

For example,

.

I will never have a nak at DIY, mechanics or carpentry,

But...

I can write a poem, story, or verse.

Everyone has their own thing,

.

Not everyone in meant for everyone, or anyone.

I may not be loveable or loved,

Being loved may not be for me, - something I am good at,

Being loved may not be one of my natural talents,

Being loved might simply, 'not be my thing',

.

BUT....

.

I AM Dam good at,

Dammed talented at,

Having and keeping a spiteful, petty grudge for decades....!

Keeping, harvesting, fermenting, a deep core iced rage and hate at someone!

To make it a vital source of strength instead of using prayer, love or hugs!!

For the rest of my life,

Until my final cursed breath,

.

For instance, for example, at random, at an "ex=wife"

THAT IS definitely my talent!

THIS IS definitely My Thing!

.

I can never be loved

But I am Very good at hatred!

.

Watch my darkness shine - 

And shine forever,

Watch it be my everlasting poisonous willpower battery,

- You Slimey, Horedious, Groinal  Bitch!

.

After all?

Who the fuck needs a heart and soul anyway...!!!
