She is my friend..
nowadays, she does not talk..
but the way she is facing the sunset..
the way she is touching her sweet chin..
the way her artificial hair waves and gives shapes
her perfect skull.
the way you see..
is giving me her back..
just tells me.. that..
once rejected by the dreamy lovers..
she has found a the perfect one..
And she is hidding from me..
the breaking of lust of her mouth..
the burning eyes.. explossion of dust..
the long promised throne..
that it wont come..
for thrones are for queens..
and she..
is ajust a dream..
of beauty..
of happiness..
of eternal life..
I love her ..
because..
she can´t..
(Rosa Cobos)

stunning work, beautiful, love the light on the woman and the flow of blue
RosaCobos replied
The flow of blue has its simple mistery… I challenge you to discover what it is… in a playing fashion of course… and you are right it is very nice.. thanks a lot for your view and heart about it.

nice description of your inner self in the poem.
nice pic too
RosaCobos replied
Yes… could be .. everything isinside is aprojection of the outside… what if the if the world we see were not more than a simple mirage?
(I know mirages are not that simple…)
Thanks for stopping here and to have contemplated this burning urgan sun with her company.

I love her ..

she can´t..
Beautiful image. I also love the words above but feel them to be truth rather than just a dream.
RosaCobos replied
Yes… one cannot love with the image of oneself kept there as an illusion a projection may be others have placed inside.For being able to love one should get to the real Essence…to the real Self…and then get to know the indiiduality and respet it wholly…. holy. But yet….one may be sees here there.. so loneline… so self absorved and being part of one´s Soul… and knowing that she cannot love.. still…love her even more…as we learns to love the virtues and de vices of the heart…the silence and shadows…the mistery of woman creation. Thank you very much Tony.. for letting me deepen in my own words and image.

Hi again Rosa,
I have often wondered if we humans did manage to embrace our essences if our outer appearances would change. I have seen so many models in my studio change appearance according to where their minds are at. These changes seem to take place in seconds with some.
RosaCobos replied
In our phatomed mind we imagine that you male photographers dedicated to the women modelling or fashion …are like greedy and luscious male in search for forgive me the expression… I am going to tell it in Spanish “un bueno polvo”.. I know this is rude.. and absurd.. you are proffesional and that is all.. but certainly it is a mistery how we humans creave for outer appeareances… and how thiese are valued in so many different ways depending on the different cultures. And here in our occidental culture… the women have the worst part of it… they are literally slaves.. of the fashion , slaves in extremes that once you get to a certain age… it becomes intolerable. And then… the pressure gets more intense… and then… we can be a withered and shrinked old lady, but never mind…. if you have your hair died and permanented… your cheks rouge… wrinkles powdered and lips turned into creased red line… and heavy eyelids greenish and pasted.. then… voilá…. you are a woman who “take care of herself”.... It worries me and angers me… it is not good…
Well… I won´t bother you with my soliloquy… let´s give the chance to the beautiful women… and enoy their presence.. because in any case…. those are just models.. still adn quiet as my mannequin… When they are out of work… they are women… warm and vivid.
thanks a lot Tony…. I love to share with you.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Isn’t it fortunate for us then that God only sees our inner beauty and loves us even when we can’t seem to love ourselves? A truly loving parent I would say.
Woman have always been portrayed differently. The masters of old rendered wonderfully plump and beautiful women. Now the world is obsessed with annorexic framed women and it drives me crazy. I have two teenage daughters terribly insecure about their size because they are large boned like me and have hips! I have to tell them all the time that God made them the way they are and no one has the right to make fun of that. The world is vicious and cruel but love conquers all.
Thank you for such a beautiful and thought provoking image.
RosaCobos replied
Thanks a lot Tahnja….take good care of your daughters… and insuflate them the love for their bodies.. and their force for sensuality and self-respect.. It is a parents job.. not only mothers, but fathers as well… My parents… unfortunately for me did not have such a respect.. and the insecurity about my body has been along the days.. years… really terrible. Let´s break the chain of ignorance and absurdity.. and proclaim that we are souls…before bodies to bargain with.

Wow! This is awe inspiring the Image and the Writing. Thought provoking is right! Also, Why has no one asked what the blue really is yet?!! I wanna know.
RosaCobos replied
Hi Christi…. just for you… Yes.. Silveraya mentioned her love for the “flow of blue”.. but I will tell you..The flow is the reflection of the cars parked in the street…a front window car.. in fact. The rest of the composition is left to your “discernment”... (mischivious smile) Thank you very much for your presence and kind curiosity and appreciation.

Is she the women we all want to be until we see there is nothing there but the outside? Beautiful pic.
RosaCobos replied
Good reflection!!! I give you my applause for your discriminating question. In general, models and mannequins are meant to show the outside.. whichnis the real thing to sell… The clothing… the fashion.
I will pass by next week… and she will have another outfit… another hairdressing… .. so in this way… it remains the imagining or the illusion that wearing such a dress… we are going to be “like them”.. A trick for the senses.. that is all. Quite cruel I would say. Thank you very much.

Rosa, you definitely have something to say, in words and in image. And you say it beautifully in both languages, of the mind and of the heart. This composition needs not explanation or justification: beauty is such, that requires none of that.
You caught my attention on many levels of more than just artistic expression. Bravo my friend!
RosaCobos replied
You leavve me …. speechless…. just a second. for inmmedeately my passionate and urging soul… goes to you to say thank you… my heart has warmed up… my mind has been enlightened… of gratitud and the feeling that you have understood the image… what is behind… and what is my resonance with it.
