Your last Rose
That's there,
it's your last rose
falling petals down
along the tears I've cried.
You went out,
out of this caging room,
ravine-room,
you went out,
and with you my life
went out too.
I don't wanna look at you,
out lights aren't anymore
and I won't disturb the darkness.
Well, I suppose that when I'll be sad
your face will become a scratch on my naked skin,
and your name an angry scream,
the wind that turns hurricane,
and I'll lose the words that I never said to you,
but I won't be allowed to pronounce them again.
No more pictures,
cos everything that's passed hurts
and it will be so long so.
No rings: your telephone is silent now just like your heart:
mine's not here, no more.
Cos until I'm gonna be sad
your face's a scratch on naked skin,
an angry scream your name will be,
in the wind that becomes hurricane
I will be losing the words I never said to you,
until I won't long to tell them to you no more.
No, I won't be always this sad
if your face will be
a scratchin knife on naked skin,
no more when I can say your name with only anger
that I can't forget,
I think I'll shout those words
I've never said:
they're gonna vanish out
till their sense will be just a far away lament,
till their sense will be just a far away chant,
till their sense will be just a far away moment...
till they...
will just be, nothing that I can be.

Photoshop, 3 layers, 1 hour aprox of work from this photo of mine I took at Xmas
as source image

This poem is part of a series of around 90 of them I composed from 1996 to 1998
that I translate now from Italian to English tryin to preserve their mood, which is,
unlikely my general one these days, very "borderly time"
(I was in between 19 and 20 then and I was having LOTS of confusion in my mind,
like any other teenager that grows up), a mixture of sadness, angst, depression,
doubts about love&life and basically a pouring out in shitty days
(even the most hyped up will be just a depressive side of euphoria, you'll see).
I will use this poem series to explore Photoshop composition out from drawing and painting,
and I would like many of you to be models for me, to variate a bit my collection of stuff.
For this specific poem and piece though, I felt appying
too the characteristics chosen for theJanuary Theme "Creation, Beginning, Rebirth" seen as
existential meanings after a love affair gone to trash.
Hope you'll enjoy and.. some more days without connection for me but at least for three days I'll be around ;)I am missin you all!!! :).

It's great to see you made such creative use of your experiences, Meli. Wonderful image. Enjoy your 3 days of connection and come back soon :)
You look very absorbed in troubled thoughts here, utterly in your own little world, one you feel no one else can understand. The liquid jumble of text conveys well the thoughts passing through your mind. The background is very busy and the text gets lost, but that's also fitting as your thoughts emerge incoherently out of the white noise of chaotic emotions. Thankfully we're talking in the past tense and your love life is now fully stable hugs :-)
An impressive work again, Meli! Your poem really touched my soul! Enjoy your 3 days of connection and come back soon :)
Lovely image Meli, but I prefer your Charcoal/Pencil work. Beautiful Poem.
Excellent work...both the image and the poem. I especially liked titta's intrepretation of thousands of birds...when I looked at the photo again I saw them too.
Your efforts are appreciated! Great work, it should be a wonderful series.
Il poema e l'illustrazione sono di gran bellezza...!! ha un stile surreale...!! l'effetto di grano in tutta l'immagine produci un interessante clima....!!!
Enjoyed your poem.
beautiful words and picture.exellent work. !!!!! :O) !!!!!
Excellent image, Meli - very creatively done. Your poem is very good, too, and so captures the turmoil of teenage years along with the vibe of the artwork. You have MANY talents!
Wonderful image! And excellent poem! BRAVO
Yeah,this does sound a bit depressing at first but it does bring such beauty from inside when you understand its meaning...a search of the soul and see what you find waiting within;)
YOU KNOW YOU AND TATTOEDRAVENGIRL SHOULD MAKE BOOKS WITH YOUR ARTWORK AND POEMS IN THEM. EXCELLENT WORK. I LIKE THAT REFLECTIVE LOOKING TEXTURE
excellent image and poem Meli. good to see your work again too!!!
Good work. I like the texture. This image goes well with your poem. Hope you are well, and thanks again ;-)
wonderfull poem ,and illustration meli .
So much emotion and artistry! It is really captivating and I have enjoyed myself once again is your gallery. Bravo Meli! Who needs the movies, lol :)
I look foreward to seeing more of the visual interpretations of your poetry. Your ability to excell linguistically and artistically is a rare thing indeed.
Beautiful my sweet Meli, my heart aches reading this, but is relieved as I know this is past HUGS I miss you angel and cannot wait until we can talk soon :) xxxxxxxxx
nice poem and photo
Love the way you share your emotions. You're a true Webist!
It is very beautiful, I like how the flowing shape of hair contrasts with the angularity of the background :) interesting choice of color :)
Now this is what a call a very special image accompanied with a very touching poem! Very well done on both. Hugz Tjeerd
Die Lyrik ist sch . . . ! Die Abbildung ist ein vollkommen Begleiter . . . !
Excellent color,flow and mood!
Lovely ! As always a beautiful composition. Congratulations !
The image clearly set the mood and told the story before I read the poem. What an amazing work you made of that photo. Well done!
It's an unusual work for you IMO. It's really depressive as intended by your poem... I am looking forward your erotic pencil sketches or your wonderful landscapes that can bring light into the viewer's day.
Bravo Meli the true dove is now in flight,the true artist is now in full bloom and must fly towards the sun. It is time Meli time the artist of such beautiful creations be known for the artist that she is. Bravo,Bravo look to the light the door is open its time Meli. Just reach for it.
excellent design Meli, and a wonderful poem as well ... i don't really agree with what Andreas said here, designing art depends on the mood ya are in ... and it is really frustrating and confusing when ya do NOT have the ability to share everything with yer friends, when ya don't have a reliable connection ... makes ya think back to the days of earlier confusion which lays fresh in yer memory ... can't always brighten up another persons day with wonderful drawings when your not in the mood for it ... anyways, very well done, dear friend, and i really hope you will be able to share all your thoughts in your creations and remarks under our designs, for they are a respectable gentle touch... smile
