She has changed~ Burnt Umber/Rainbowconnections

Your contours hurt me

scratching my face

you hear the cracks?

in pale yellow face

afraid to laugh

life unseen

eyes screened

hiding the craving

a timid, frightened, restrained

I wasn't this!

Pour me another color

of burnt umber's illusions

opaque emotions

revolutionary eyes

webbed lips;hidden

screaming for a name

You hear the cry?

My wait ends

life begins anew

waiting for the right texture

start, proceed, follow my desires

A woman; changed.

(Last year I painted this and suddenly I found her changed.I painted her,again.

He choices, her colors....)

I hope you look to sell some of your artwork - it is amazing. Pair it up with your poetry and how unique would that be?

Love this.

There are some more groups for poetry or other words combined with images/artwork--I think "word and image" is one of them--that you could post to.

At first I thought the changes were due to a relationship, but after examining your verse a bit deeper, your verse and metaphor to me expresses a woman's felling before and after giving birth. The word blending and metaphor in this poem is excellent. An enjoyable read. TY.

You matured the painting well, as you did in the poem, finding yourself is what life is all about, and you are doing a very good job of it, love both painting and picture.
