Hello, creatives, hope you all doing great, am going to be sharing with you, the second version of a work I posted earlier on my page, It's one of my ball pen series, that I title "joy within".
About the piece: I spent about a month and two weeks rendering this piece on paper with one of my favorite mediums the bic blue ballpoint pen on needle point paper, trying to capture the laughter on my model's face and also trying to render it as personal as possible, The story behind this piece is a true-life story that addresses how a lover at a very young age rushed into a relationship, because of Happiness and Joy we could think would be found therein, and his experiences and his later discoveries, enjoy this adventure in the poem down below.
🥀 Title: JOY WITHIN
The moments when there are a billion stories to tell but the mouth could only utter a word,
one after the other, and the words run out faster than the brain could storm.
I gave a mirror, a mirror on the wall,
focusing on beauty instead of one's true self,
little did I know that a mirror is sincere,
It was a matter of time but I could have withheld.
I made promises I couldn't keep, legacies I couldn't sustain, Images I wish not to look upon, events I wish never happened, But it was all real.
I did it for the joy of youth, when my eyes were shut, with a tenderness of heart, and in the sincerity of mind, hoping for a future.
Thanks to reality, it dawns,
thanks to the knowledge, it increases,
thanks to the body, it feels,
thanks to the mind, it assures
but at the owner's call was when I realized that true Joy is found within.
Enjoy the process of this piece down here, I all be glad to know your thoughts on this piece in the comment section, and also help click the like button too, Thanks
