Description
I have always been a little jealous of people
who write poems.
Maybe because I have poets in my family.
But seldom I can feel the words flow freely from my pencil.
Suzanne has reaally triggered something in me.
So here I did the second best.
I translated a poem written by an anonymus girl
17 years old, given to the Swedish film director
Kay Pollack, when he searched for characters to his film
"Love me"

a splendid theatre of words and picture :)
vey fine image to illustrate this poem, gun.
u did it! this is really beautiful...
Wonderful Gun, and don't we all have our "masks," our "public faces" ~ Hugs ~
Wonderful work, Gun. Really impressive ;O)
beautiful you are a true artist within!
Gun, dear one, that is really wonderful, and so true. It reminds me of that saying about treating others as you want to be treated. This poem explains why. I have seen miracles happen by just believing in and loving someone, form those close and those we meet in our work. This is quite a gift to share with us, Gun. I love your image. Not only does it portray the masks, but it is gender non-specific in appearance. Perfect for the poem. Thank you and big hugs, Suzanne x:)
Love heals all, especially within ourselves. Such poignant words of truth from a writer/poet so young, but then youth is always so honest and perceptive. The words, and your artwork, paint a perfect picture of a character for a movie who is saying, from her heart, 'Love Me'. CC
Such a wonderful essential question Gun! I am just about to go fishing but I ve seen your image and your wonderful poem so I must leave you a message, I love it and it causes so much questions that my mind is running wild :) I try to imagine how much power we can save and use for more important things once we have thrown away all these masks? A dream I know. Compulsions, education, hope and despair, so much to handle, to deal with, to learn for each individual, but some do not achieve it and cannot live with a mask, I am afraid they have to pay for it or they remove it often enough so they can breath freedom again! Hugs Gun & thanks for the injection :)
My compliments on your art and poetry. They say so much.
I feel thesee words can apply to many individuals, regardless of sex, but only a few men would admit to it. The words hit home and I can identify easily. Thank your or sharing a very meaningful work or art with words. egmont
Love the poem it's beautiful...and fits me to a T
fits us all
Nice Artwork And The Writing Is Really Good Gun!....More Please!
Wonderful words and image Gun! I really appreciate the thought behind this work!
A wonderful creation of art and poetry. Very thought provoking.
I just love this Gun, very true of each of us and the image certainly matches. We must be on the same plane. Look at my last upload. This is quite a dance we do. Hope your well. Collin
excellent
A beautiful combination of image and words. Nothing you do could ever be called,'second best'. This is wonderful, Gun...especially the double imagery and your soft color palette. -M :^)
definitely one of my latest top pets (June 14).
Beautiful as always my art friend...Hugs
GUN, I think there is a typo in line 3 - "the" should be "them". Having pointed out the obvious, I like your multi-media work and would be interested what sounds/music you could put behind the image and words. Have the movie industry Art departments come knocking on your door yet?
