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 :) :)

A composition very executed well with a beautiful presentation. Lovely work ! Congratulations Meli !
Brava, my friend! Such a wonderful idea! Just love the poem and the brilliant image compliments it very well. The colours and overall texture is most beautiful. hugz
Love the colors you chose for the image, it is so classy, Cyn is such a beautiful model!! And the poem, like Jim I admire your handling a language that is not your own, it is wonderful and as usual wakes up emotions. (You tickle my curiosity when it comes to the next image, and how I could have inspired you :-)
As always a combination of your artistic skills and the friendships on show!! The poetry speaks in that you show us How to!! Hugz
