Description
*Life Cannot Be Caged
Take off your keys
the night comes and it's time to go:
can't you hear life that calls?
Take off that make up...
I suck and nothing can hide it
when I don't feel myself right...
You had me,
but I wasn't enough...
Why if I did try to give you all I had?
But tonight I won't stand cries,
I go out
at life that calls
it's here, I don't wanna miss it out,
I'll get life and life will get me
and this night ain't gonna be a tearful sea.
Mirror, you're lookin at me,
mute
lost in deadly eyes,
deadly eyes that don't reach me now,
as I step out in coldly breezes,
the ice turns me in and out,
flashes of fake lights,
rumbles of fake wishes:
I need everyone who could need me
in this night when life calls
someone deaf, someone blind,
someone who could just like...
I'm lost and broken,
and you're not here.
But no more cries,
life can't be caged,
I'll get it and I'll feel new again...
with deadly eyes,
and deadly heart...
You did get me,
but I wasn't enough
I wasn't enough...
I wasn't enough...*

Pascale (thanx dear!!!!): 1 hour and 15 minutes work.

The second piece in my Poems 96/98 series, after"Your Last Rose".
The mood is meant to be frenzy, but grotesque,and in the end shattered and resembling a
poisoning nightmare like when you try to go out and feel "great"
even being utterly lost.The title of the poem and of the artwork is ironic,of course:
a caged heart forcedly lives a caged life.Cold in a cold night where the flashes
and the warmening suggestions just look out of place.Thanx again to Pascale for the pic:
this piece is not meant to be a portrait of her!that will come later,though ;)
Not much to add.. just "enjoy" this quite diverse mood from me!
PS: Valentine yesterday was *so* demanding I think today I won't be much around ;) But don't worry,
I'm *truely* fine ;)

Powerful and emotionally!! Fantastic dear Mel! Have a wonderful Day...Kiss Eva
BEAUTIFUL!! :):)
Composition is very good...especially the way the strands of hair pull the eye back to the left and down to the bottom text. I really was drawn to the box of color with that very eye appealling texture over it too. Anyway, by now valentines is over...blown if you ask me. I think It's effect is to make people feel more lonely than anything else. Hope you survived it OK.
Wow, fantastic image and fabulous poetry!
ADORABLE POEM, AND it is VERY CERTAIN THE LIFE can not BE CAGED. :)
very nice composition Meli @};-
Very fantastic work here Meil. Beautiful!
There is so much emotion in this piece Meli...busy with the differing elements such as the words to your poem which provide a rather sad and poignant feel to it...then the colors, shapes, light and dark all vying against each other and yet...coming together in the meaning of the piece...and finally, the girl caught in the middle of all of this activity. This is wonderfully vibrant and powerful! Excellent work my friend!...Cheryl
Beautiful work and collab. It perfectly expresses the mood as you describe in your poem and narrative. -Peace :-) (Happy belated Valentines Day. I hope it was a good one for you)
(Well, you know me enough to know, that Im impress, I wish I could do that.)
Quite an impressive work. Very emotion filled and beautiful.
Ottima immagine!!! molto d'impatto, sia nelle forme che nei colori. Excellent!
Striking and dramatic image. Long life to freedom!
Great composition you've made here! I love the lifely colors in contrast with the black parts of the image! Excellent work, here! Hugz, Tjeerd
Excellent work . I love all you do :)
Amazing vibe to this image, Meli. Sometimes life is very like this work. Your poetry is always so full of emotion and I can remember feeling exactly like this many times. Your work is as a ray of light at Rendo.
Migliori col PShop, non c'ke dire :)
Powerful and impressive, you continue to delight and make one think.
Attachment is a source of pain and pain alas often a source of creativity .. Heart moving art!
Excelent. Very sensitive portrayal in words and in brush and colours. The painting to me has caged efect- perhaps seeking to break it. Vijay
Very impressive Artwork .... Xlt!!!
