Description
*Run and get free from yourself
when you feel untekeable
be the one you are...
Run, it's a long way to
and it can rain often,
but you're gonna run faster
till sun will tell you
you've made it.
You're not alone
if you don't wanna be so,
how many hands would push you!
You're not alone
if you don't wanna be so,
I would love to run with you...
Run, get free from yourself,
when you just can't be
all the things you fear you are:
if you can do that,
please tell me how to,
since I'm searchin
too many answers
inside my mirror,
but questions probably
aren't worthy any clue...
I am not alone,
and I wouldn't like to be so
how many hands
would push me on?
I am not alone,
but at times I like to be so...
Would your hands
keep pushin me on?
I'm searchin too many answers,
but my mirror speaks not,
I'm searchin too many answers,
but my mirror speaks not...
Well you gotta run,
and get free from yourself:
if you can do that,
please tell me how to,
please,
tell me how to,
how to
how to...*

Photoshop7 & Poser5, from this picture of our
cynlee that I recreate in Poser model to mirror herself. 1 hour of total work.
--------------
I am keepin the experiment to illustrate my poems from back times. Here I have to thank especially cynlee, for providing such
awesome source picture and our gunsan, for the inspiration she constantly gives to us all (which will be even more clear as
inspiration source when you will see the Fift picture of this series, with Shadane's picture as source (thank you
girl :)) :).
As always the illustration should give visuality to words, and all there is NOT meant to be a portrait ;).
I didn't want to keep so much writing in the final cut, but for some reason unknow the second file of the work got lost in
strange processor trick in my pc and not wanting to restart all again ( I was liking the mirroring idea) I decided to keep
for you WIP number 1 ;)
Enjoy, and sorry for my late lackin online. I have got just too much of work & Life to keep me away from web :) Hope to cope
with all I did miss in this incoming week though :)Today is the post day of my Stef's bDay and we'll keep celebrating ;).
Thank you for the messages of care and your patience, lotta love, Meli :) :)

Splendido wowo che bello poesia e illustrazione un binomio perfetto, la tua arte perfetta sotto ogni punto di vista, bacioni tua per sempre amica Orietta
Superb poem, and a lovely supporting image to go with it! Bravo Meli!
Excellent work and poems Meli! You are one talented young lady. Brava!
Wonderful poem and picture! Excellent done V!!!
I like your poem very much. And the de-saturated colours and the nice overall texture.
Cyn's face - such a recognizable visage on this site. You truly have a heart of gold Meli. I am about to read your poem once more...
Your photo-collage is great, and I am a little sad, because my english is bad to much, to understand your poems right.
Beautiful Colors and excellent Poem. By the way, would be great as a song as well. Corven
Sweetie, I always admire your ability to always express yourself clearly in words, even when it's not your mother tongue. I see so much in those words to relate to. As for the image, I do like it a lot, it's classy and restrained in execution... in its colours and treatment it reminds me of a lot of 80's styles, album covers particularly, and this time the typeface fits :-)
Missed you Meli, and hope we catch up soon HUGEST HUGS x
OH my sweet angel, I was so swept away by your words that I almost commented without even viewing your most classy of images thanks Jim I adore this my angel, it does have that 80's album cover feel, but maybe because your amazing words DESERVE to be with music and published for the entire world to hear. Thank you angel for creating and sharing this wonderful piece. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEF!!!!!!!! lots of love!
Hey sweet Meli, been missing u around here indeed! :) U're always so busy! :( Beautiful words for a very expressive image! I thought the "mirror" was a picture frame though...love the texture on this and the colors! Knowing that this is a mirror now, it makes me think of all the faces we can see of ourselves in our own mirrors, the good days and the bad days, the days when we feel beautiful and the ones when we feel just terrible! Happy birthday to Stefen from me too, who's a 'lil Pisces just like my sweet love! :) All the happiness in the world to u 2!
Wonderful compostion my friend... You are really a great artist and this is great art!
loads of hugs meli... you're back... :)
great composition! i like the style a lot... :) especially the "canvas-like"structure... fits perfectly... :)
Great presentation, Meli. The poem (song) and image go together great. I love your concept that "youre not alone if your don't wanna be so". At some point we all have to take at least a little responsibility for our feelings as well as actions. It's always nice to see Cynlee's face and you did a great job with her looking in the mirror to see all of the different reflections. Wonderful work of art!
Beautiful composition and excellent Poem!
wonderful work. i love the composition, beautiful idea.* vote * !!!!!!!!!! #:O)!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, I really like the desaturation of the colors and the canvas look to it, not to mention the composition as a whole. w00t w00t!
Nice to see you back Meli! Enjoy your birthday celebrations! Wonderful job!
really stunning how your words are always able to touch me or to make me think over - you own a real artist soul - a honor to know you, and thanks for all, btw. hope to see some of your pencil work again ;-)------

Cindy is so adorable, this is just fantastic work!! You add your intrigueing style to everything you do... Hugz
Ahhhh........so good to see you again, and partake of the life and spirit you always so generously share with us. HUGS
I agree with those above that said this should be a song. It was the first thing I thought when I read it. The words move like running, or even dancing, and the image is a wonderful compliment.
Wonderful poem and image Meli!
