Christian and Oli Untitled
THE CHALLENGE: Find a picture that inspires you and write a story or poem about it. Include a short paragraph on why you picked the picture.
The Picture:(from a German show called Verbotene Liebe or Forbidden Love in English. The characters in the shot are Christian the blond on the right and Oliver the Brunette on the left)

The Poem
Morning comes and there is nothing
No light, no sunshine, no love.
And nothing matters
I walk outside, it’s darker still
And I wonder, what’s missing?
The sun slowly sets
The day goes by, a myth
And I stare
It reminds me of…
What? Something’s missing.
Winter’s here and dew falls
My heart beats softly against the cold
And death is inevitable
Because I’m still trying to find it
I’m not sure anymore
I can’t seem to live anymore, something’s gone.
Somehow, the ice melts and daylight breaks,
It’s changed now, I can tell,
And there you are
My heart is beating like a drum
Yet I feel complete, there is light again
I’ve never felt more alive
Time stops now, tell me, is it you?
Summer now,
My arms around you,
And you stare right back at me.
The sky changes,
The years go by,
It doesn’t seem to matter,
You’re here with me
And time stops, just because I love you.

The Reason: I choose this picture because of the intensity that Christian looks at Oliver with is breathtaking. It makes me believe in true love and it inspires me to believe that anything is possible. What inspires me about it even more about it, is knowing that although you cant tell it from the picture, Oliver is staring back at Chris with the same intensity, the same love that he is receiving.
What do you say? Do you think I did the picture justice? Leave a comment below and let me know.
