*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...* ------- Photoshop, 12 layers,from this source pic courtesy of my model here, 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 ;)
