This was inspired by a painting called Dance Me To The End Of Love by Jack Vettriano, one of my favorite impressionist works. It's a short poem, but it's exactly what came to mind with the painting, so I refused to add more. Maybe someday I will, but for now... Slow DanceTake my hand and fly, Leave my feet here on the ground. The strings and the timpani’s rising, It’s melodies astounding, Surrounding me. And all that dirtiness of real life, Is evanescent in this trance. You know it never was real life, It ends with a slow dance.

Thank you! It disappointed me that it turned out so short, because the inspiration itself felt very monumental for some reason. But there wasn't much else I could add (:

I know what you mean. I've had moments like that where the inspiration feels so strong and monumental but when I go to write... not much comes to me. haha It's always annoying. But this didn't need anything more, it's beautiful just like it is.  |

Oh, thank you! Yes, that's exactly it. Lately I've had so much I want to write, but I just can't get started. I think once I get the beginning of something down, I'll be able to take it from there, but it's like an incredibly tall mountain that I just can't seem to get to the top of!

Wow, you just described how I've been lately. I have a HUNDRED ideas but I can't seem to get started on any of them. It's really rather frustrating... *sigh* But hopefully I can take one idea and tie it down, haha. (If that makes any sense at all...) But anyway, I definitely know how you feel!
