My Red Melancholy
Under the bright lights
And pristine haze
I look away
As sick secrets sinuously sleep
Underneath a surface that is
Poised and pretty and sweet
My raven hair scented
With traumatic experiences
Buried alive . . . refusing to die
My crimson lips
Whisper
Of a quiet desperation
My eyes refusing to shed
The tears of . . .
My Red Melancholy

This probably isn’t going to make sense, but this representation reminds me of a character that you might see Bev Doolittle paint….almost a camouflage of white on white. The red makes the eye bounce.

You are amazing Jaeda. You look like a porcelain doll. The extreme whites and jump-out colour, makes for a classy, sexy, original image.

After comparing this art work with your three other of that series
The Red Stare
The Red Freeze
The Red Breeze
I really like this one the most. I suppose that the porcelain look of your eyes in this one transfer this effect to the whole body and gives the impression the you completely look like made of porcelain.
And I really like all four poems of that series, they absolutely fit to the motive of each photo.
