somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands

A submission for a contest, a deviation from my usual style. Probably one of the pieces I've spent the longest ever on. :) (Smile)

Yup, I agree with everyone here; this picture is very, VERY well done! The over all mood of this picture is so enchanting! Everything from her flowing hair to her beautiful jewelry is so flawless and perfect. I especially like the water drop on her hand and the pretty hair ornament(I wish you can send the design to a hair orament company and sell them. I want to buy one!). +fav indeed!

I love this piece, it is just absolutely beautiful! What really caught my eye is her hair, it almost seems etherial how it floats up off her shoulder, almost as if the laws of gravity didn't affect her. also, the nose and lips are very well done and your attention to detail is almost flawless.. great job! +Fav
