Makeover


Naked words cower
in fear and cold,
Of a world
drunk in power.

Soothing rain falls
on flesh and paper,
Breaking free lives
bound in walls.

A monochromatic hue
of shadowed lights,
Burns and flows again
in colours of red and blue.

    @grafx: Pixelation is deliberate. I reduced the colors in the palette (made it 8bit). :)

    @grafx: Well, I actually drew it on paper with a pencil and then scanned it and then colored it - its not just mirrored in photoshop! But I guess in a way it's a copy - but it's ok to copy out a painting, no? Also, my sketch is not a perfect copy - the original is more graceful - so I said inspired, instead of copied, and I did credit the original.

    I have a higher res version of the header too, but I want to keep it like this.

    accha, ok...was just making a suggestion...i was just thinking.. that if it was in the form of ripples.. that the words would be more...fluid..you know....coz the rest of this blog looks nice and smooth...and the rippled words are done nicely too...oh well...
