Description
*Sky's closed,
it won't open for my day.
I feel like everyone's just ready
to joke me,
to hurt me,
to laugh at what I am,
to dismiss what I could be.
The flowers never grow here
the birds can't sing my songs...
I am the mud.
Still I don't wanna believe
that there's not a piece of sky
which could open for me,
to let the sun
caress my face,
so pale,
too pale,
while all I'd like
is to be taken,
kissed by the sun,
kissed by sweet lips,
kissed by that care
I'm not gonna give up
to finally meet.
But sky's closed
and I am the mud.
I hear the laughes,
I hear the jokes...
Too many faces, too many forces:
you've dried my hopes
like devil's morphings:
takin one sweet glimpse of eyes
into dreadful offsets,
you're one,
you're hundreds,
you make my sky get doomed,
you make my flowers looming.
I hear the jokes,
they make me cry...
When's gonna happen that I'll get those smiles
to clear my dark sky
that hides sun's rayes?*

Photoshop. Frome these sources.
Thanx tattoedravengirl for givin me inspiration for the illustration of this poem.
One hour and half work.
------------------------
The third piece of my series dedicated at illustrating my old poems written by 1996/1998. Again this is not meant to be a portrait, just a photoshop excercise.
I wanted to give a framed, static expression to an doubting, turning into depression state of mind, still with certain colours to underline a no better defined hope still present in the frame, although very gloomed down by the unacceptance of the positivity of the self ...
I also wanted to compose it in a bit of urban, graffiti-like touches,suggestin a sort of negative psychedelia turning into decorative fixicity.Basically the denying of the youth vitalism, through young codes.
The mood is again low one. Which was common bread by my 19 (but luckely not anymore.. that's why I keep posting this series: look how negative I was, and imagine if I could findhappines back, evryone can :)) ;)
So once more..."Enjoy" :)

Beautiful, touching image, and very indicative of how far you have come. I am so glad you are not in that state anymore. You know you give me hope every day that I, too, will pass through this. Stay blessed. ((hugs))
i like the graphic feel to this piece, the words are an encouragement that there is hope from the darkness. mostly i like that you're trying these different styles :)
The text adds new dimensions to this piece Gallimel...must admit that the image had me alarmed that you were in misery till I read the written words you chose to illustrate the image in my minds eye...beautiful combination Galli girl;P
Im so glad that you are okay now. That image does have something from the 90s. Excellent.
Very touching poem and I think that I was like you when I was 19 and even now... but only somtimes :) And a very creative artwork to illustrate your words. Simply fantastic, Meli !
great color scheme, very modern looking.
It is a beautiful poem and you illustrated the thoughts and feel of it very well in your image.
Brilliant work again, Meli! I love the total concept of this composition! Great job!

Here are a thousand smiles for you, dar Meli!!!!! What an emotional, impressing work. Glad you are a Webist! Stay tuned. Sorry for being a bit non-communicative during last weeks.
The poem conveys such heartache while she looks bleak and lost among the chaos of emotions around her, as if she's too numb to outwardly reflect her pain. Julia was a great model for you here.
See you tomorrow night luv :-)
Very fantastic artwork Meli. Excellent!!
I don't know if I could put it better than what everyone else has said. The poem is deeply moving, the words go right through the soul and your embarkment is a journey that will never end. You're an amazing person and artist. Excellent!
Wonderful montage, Meli and such evocative prose! Ahh, the tempest that is youth when EVERY emotion was SO intense. Glad you are happier, now! :>)
Ahh..I am late. ;) It's a wonderful piece as always. Doesn't make itself justice on my screen though..it looked way better in uni. :) But I like it alot..especially the feelings it subjects to you and through the poem. Beautiful in it's darkness.
