Lusting Mythos Arcadia

In Greece, on the central plateau of the Peloponnesus, the ancient district of Arcadia was isolated from the coast, surrounded on all sides by high mountains.The plateau is also subdivided by smaller ranges.

The Arcadians lived simple lives, untouched by the progress that marked the rest of Greece.


Arcadia dyptych John McMenemy .

The name Arcadia thus came to be a symbol of ideal simplicity, rural beauty, and contentment.

Lusting Pronunciation

We're all familiar with the old standard,

"you say tomato, I say tomahto".
Watch Astaire and Rogers sing it here .

Today's post is similar, "you say cos'mus', I say cosm'oh'".

Lusting All That Glitters...

...is not gold, is a popular saying.

Although this is certainly true for most, I don't believe that it

applies to the glittering architectural creations of alchemist

Lusting Classical Evolution

I happened across Ricardo Cinalli on one of my many trips through artistic cyberspace.


He at first appears merely to be a classically trained artist,


with reference to classical figures,


and theme.


But then he moves further toward the contemporary,


using contemporary materials and imaginative portraiture.

Lusting Powerful Images

DEMF by Tom Thewes

The creation of high energy art is the norm,

rather than the exception for Deviant artist
derLarm .


A visual cacophony,

Of man and machine.



The battle is waged,

Finite creator vs timeless machine.



Forged metal vs honed intellect,

With no victor, no conquered.


Just humanity struggling,

Fulfilling mans' dreams.


A visual cacophony,

Of man and machine.

Lusting Kisses

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by




And when two lovers woo
They still say, I love you
On this you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by



Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
On this you can deny




It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by



Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
On this you can deny


You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
