Description
*We've got the sky,
this morning..
or is it that we've got the night?
Lost in your eyes I see sun and all the brightest stars,
next to you
I feel the purity of your breathing
could make me lift and fly...
We're living in our own land,
where all is true;
we're makin pink houses
lookin like faery tales rooms...
I got you, and all just rocks...
I got you, and all pain seems suddenly lost.
I wish everyone could love a butterfly,
like I do...
I wish everyone could feel as privileged
as I do as every morning steps in,
perfumed and new...
Lost in your eyes I call universe mine,
and next to you I could live
just to be part of your diamond's life.
I love you, and I ask for nothing more:
you gave me all
a man should ask for his own.

This is the 18th Portrait in my homages to Rosity members series. Please welcome my dear friend Davide, aka TOXE and his lovely half, Laura :)
I am sorry if I have been away a few days: after the terrible, horrible joke about my dear syndroid to be dead in a car accident, I needed time to make my rage and anger vanish.
I suffered infinitely, and if I had transformed that sufference in will of getting vengeance I would have burnt all over the insane mind that planned that very idiot joke.;) So I decided to stay away.Cos I know those kind of people don't even deserve anger, they're a waste of time plain and simple.
I know my friends have understood.. I hope others have to.
To cancel days of mess then,I wanted to come back with my most classical subject: LOVE.
And no one could have fullfilled better the image I have of love, than these two lovely human beings.
TOXE is all that an artist should be, but moreover, is all a MAN should be.
When I saw their pic together, lovely kissing on a bed, I couldn't resist to the wish to portray them.
Hope their grace can suggest to all around how wonderful is to love, instead of hating.
I certainly know that I treasure friends. And Davide is what I am honoured to call a friend.
See you soon :) Hugs and kisses to all whom have cherished me during these days, and to all whom have written me so adorable messages :) I'll answer you all, you're what makes me come back here :).
You're amazing :)
PS: Rik.. did you see? I used 4 types of pencils ;))

nice to have you back, love this one
Once again you have wrought beauty and love out of a meager and ugly occurrence. You shine, sweet Meli!
I knew I'd love this. You've introduced an almost claustrophobic feeling of intimacy here, a feeling of being close and enclosed (I think this is from your filling the background with detail). Works really well, especially with your improved shading and variation of line strength :-)
Amazing work Meli! Your talent is astounding...excellent attention to details..brava!!
