Description
*
The room keeps spinning...
spinning around,
spinning me round inside,
inside...
I got clouds in my head,
I have no memory of your name
but I still recall your face:
those eyes,
like a honey lake,
sparkling,
exciting,
keep suggestin me thousand and one
sins I would have liked to make...
Nothing else of you has a place now in me,
but maybe your voice...
oh yes... your whisper there,
lost cos of the moves
I didn't tried to make.
I lost you while thinkin,
holdin a glass of liquids
I could never really taste...
I lost you in ice cubes
trapped and stopped...
by my fears of refusals and
fears of low chances...
What was your name,
my wild gentle knight?
Chimera, cos
of all my doubts that turned you away...
Come back,
come back in this long night...
come back, break the chains
I did lock onto my own veins...
I got clouds in my heart...
that can't cover all the sweet sins
I would have loved to make...
I know I should have stopped you,
I know I should have spoken...
But nothing of you
is a stable memory in me.
Within I feel the void,
within all that stays is my stupid concept
of sin...
will I ever like myself?
Will I ever like myself?
Chimera's gone,
Chimera's gone,
missed chances like ice cubes
makin my poison
much longer trouble to face.

Photoshop7, 1 hour and half, from this starting picture courtesy of lovely Shadane (girl, you rock :))
Fifth in the Poems Series...and you know the meaning of this series ;)
------------------
Before getting deeper about this piece, let me thank you ALL for the awesome welcomening back in this past week after I started back to be online.
You left me wordless.. and infinitely happy. :) Infinitely.
I thank again Shadane here to provide such awesome pics of her.. I have many more that I will love to work in the future,
and her lovely face has conquered me so much I also wanna make a penciled portrait of her.
As I saw this picture, I thought it was perfect for the image I had in mind to illustrate this fifth old poem of mine.
It was also perfect for trying some texturing that I have always been inspired to make thanx to the awesome works of
our gunsan :)
Dunno if I have achieved my goal, but it was a good training for me for sure.
Hope you can enjoy, and hope whomever feels, or felt like I did at those times, now,the same pain the poem represents,
the same self refusal, can see the beauty he/she carries inside.
There's always someone ready to catch it. But the first who has to is exactly the person who suffers.Or chances can't be
taken, not fully, not well.
Love is the key.The only universal key. :)
Hugs, Meli :)

Just beautiful texture work in this image Meli!! Together with the poem it makes a powerful whole!! (Happy these poems are old ones) Shadane's expressive face is perfect for illustrating your words, and your postwork enhances the feelings you want to convey!
Wow Meli you use Photoshop in ways I only could dream of. Your poem goes so well with this image. Once again you left me speechless. : hugs .
I really love this. Fantastic colors, excellent technique. And the picture is indeed perfect for this image. Excellent work, Meli :)
Nice composition, like the bgrnd colours and the canvas is good for the wring. The face is very expressive, and lighting is good. Buon lavoro! Lina

Beautiful artwork!!,Iam late everything is said, awesome work!!hugs!
It is something quite like Gun's work... it has that same soft nebulosity that communicates deeper emotion than one might think. Here you're communicating that sense of self-frustration very closely, uncomfortably so even (which balances the visual beauty very well). I'm sure most if not all of us can relate to these emotions, I know I can. Of course you went through this several times yourself. The road to self-love is long and full of setbacks! Thanks for being so beautiful... and to Shadane for being the perfect model for this work :-) xxx
beautiful artwork!!!ciao!!:-))
Beautiful work, so fantastic colors and composition..
You have well described a universal sensation. This poem has been said to me by an old love many years ago. Not in these exact words but very close. To have tapped this universal feeling you have done very well.
Beautiful words, beautifully supported by your cover picture.I know well the feelings you are expressing, and I know their hurt and pain ... as well as the lessons they teach when the initial torment fades into past experience.
Wonderfull image Meli ..love colors and composition.....beautiful done.
The composition fits the poem perfecly for me. I really respect you ability to write...this brings so much more to an already excellent image.
wonderful image as ever!and what expressive poem!!it is nice to see you again around here!!renderosity wasn't the same without you!! :)
Very beautiful Meli, you did our girl justice! Poem and expression fit beautifully!
Ahhhhh......it's so wonderful to have you back here. No one slices off a piece of beating life and hands it to us like you, dear.
"chances like ice cubes" Wow! You have given me much to think about today and distracted me from worrying about me! Beautiful, meaningful work!
For someone who says she doesn't know English very well, Meli, this poem cuts right to the heart. It is amazing, and so are you!! You were so missed!! <-- I'm an English major and I don't have the words to express to you what you mean to me and to everyone here. BACI!! :O)
WHAT A WONDERFUL POEM TO GO ALONG WITH THIS IMAGE WONDERFUL JOB MELI!!!
