+ the.illusion.of.peaches + by ~luminatii:iconluminatii:





And...
We talked of peaches
In the rain
It took me too long
To explain
‘Bout everything
I thought of you
Don’t you know who
You’re talking to?
I guess it didn’t
Mean that much
I’m just delusional
And such
I’m sorry
Couldn’t handle it
She thought that you...
Meant all that shit.
I’m sorry
She’s a little girl
And you’re my only
Happy-pill
I’m sorry that
I can’t forget
The tears that dried
Are running wet
I couldn’t grasp
I couldn’t see
Your different
Mentality
I’m sorry that
You held my hand
Meant more to me
Than you had planned
I’m sorry I can’t
Tell you this
I’d love to justify
My bliss
But what I never
Really knew
Was maybe I’m
Just lost as you?
And maybe all
She thought were lies
Were little truths
In your disguise
I’m sorry, don’t
Know what to think
Just let me cry
And let me sink
Drown in Denial’s
Filthy pool
Admit me this,
I played a fool
You sure you wish
I wasn’t dead?
You’re stuck like gum
Inside my head
She’s gotta go
She hurts me too
Please wave her, bye
And out goes you
But can’t you see
Inside my eyes?
I never wanted
You to die
Please someone
Someone tell me quick
This stupid
Silly rabbit trick
Worked all too well
And now she breaks
It’s all my fault
And takes the cake
I got so close
But no cigar
Or maybe it
Was all too far
I’m sorry,
Messed it up again
I couldn’t even
Have a friend.

please read the description first, + full view!
thank you!

[ picture ]
the first time I’ve done a painting for a poem, instead of the other way around. xD;
no, she is not lady crow.. the crow in the corner is juste.. kind of a muse, this once, separate from the lady.

the colours and painting ..'specially the background, were inspired by something in a dream i had a few days ago..
and.. no special effect of any sort. juste regular photoshop brushes, all hand painting. nothing special, no fancystuff, no sheep.
+thing she is holding is a large peach. no, she's not 'standing on her knees' TT; she's in the foreground, hence the bottom of her dress isn't shown.
any remarks about anatomy or whatnot else will be scowled at and i'll plot to make you toast for my pb&j. xD;

[ poem ]
first, very IMPORTANT FACT... there are only two people in the poem, although it seems like there's three referred to.
there's is only the [i] and [you] ..the [she] and [i] and one in the same!

andduu.. very few people will know what the writing is about... and if you don't, i'm not telling.
it may or may not be about myself.. and some things may be overexaggerated, + some may be under-.
that's really not important, though. i almost didn't post it + am only doing so because i really like this one.
^^ it's all an illusion, in any case.

[sorry for the EDIT or if it comes up on your watch again ;^;]
but.. IMPORTANT: have to clarify, this was not a dream. the only dream-inspired part of it was the look of the background in the picture- blue colour + how it's painted. the rest of it is all feeling, whether it makes sense to you or not.

thank you for looking! :hug:

Dreams make good art. You rock. :)
I like bothe pieces very much. I even reread the poem a second time slower just to make sure I had really READ it.

Wow. Lumii, your talent never ceases to amaze me. This is beautiful work, both poem and art. :)

Amazing, you have such talent for painting beauty into your pictures... and writing it into your poems. I loved the poem, it was very eloquent and well written. For the picture, I really love the backdrop... Heh, I'm a fan of interesting backgrounds.

I am the butter on the toast of lies!
brilliant visuals and a very striking poem!
in my eyes this is your best background to date! the city looks just awesome! very futuristic yet fitting for a storybook! once again a beautiful colorchoice and great work on the cloth!
just amazing detail this time!

what i like best in the poem is the vivid flow it has! its very easy to read and very striking and sad.. even if i dont understand its full meanings..

brilliant concept and art work!

great job :-)
I love the detail in her face/facial expression and the background is wonderful. The only thing that looks a little off is the streakiness of the shading on her skin - maybe it's the scan? Anyway - it's a wonderful piece!! Very nice work!

Really interesting painting style, different from most digital colourings i've seen.
The background is very good!

Wow. I really am curious of how you color. The color scheme you picked to contrast the peach makes for a very strong piece. -- Not to mention I love the hair on the girl, as well as the dress. I'm a hair and folds fanatic ;)

Very lovely job.
luv the poem luv the pic
both are very inspiring!
