We're all familiar with the old standard,
"you say tomato, I say tomahto".

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,

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Never out of date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Never out of date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
