Description
*As swept melodies like droplets
from the heart unchained
get one major colour
and refined crystal shapes,
it comes a man with hair
that wave like wired silk
whose mesmerizing touch
turns demons into dreams.
And like primordial water
cuddled the first among blossoming stars
to tresure the miracle
till he was made "born"
so you warmen and protect
all best inner senses
that developing gently
will inspire good men.
Untamed, yet so soft,
and unseen, nevertheless so strong
a clean transparency set like mirror upon us
gathers up there
from the sensitivity of your angel's soul.
I hear bubbles of divine feelings
in pieces of digital notes like symphonies...
I see moments of preciousness
some dared once to warn you
to not even hope to have
that always are entangled in all the pieces that you make:
magic waterfalls
of creative fireworks
that come and go from the inside
till the eyes will catch their harmony
to make sense to others' hearts;
in your silent calls
there are worlds to decode
from the signs you leave on screen
that are never of shallow mode...
In your sweet kindness
there's your own world to discover
that inspires infinite kisses
to those who feels
all your enchanting purity
that comes with and over.*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM!!!!!!!

So here's my Fourth Knight :) Jim,aka Synapse.I can't possibly tell not even a millionth of the reasons which I treasure this man for.As an artist, he's just one of the best reasons for surfing this site (one of the real few artists that are around) and as person, well... he's just the purest of people around.
Today is his BDay and this will be one of my gifts to him.
Jim's art is a very complex and ambigous threat here:it's so strong, but its real essence appears only when one REALLY stops to see the surface of it and dwells into it: and the essence of Jim's art is Jim's inner adorability.
His futuristic,sharpen and coldly shocking shapes in art are just shells that protects the soul in every single "creature" he paints in his pieces.No matter dark colours, no matter linear and metallic systems around them;no matter cyborg-like plugs:Jim always puts in ALL his works an element of light.It can be one single ball of clearer tone.. it can be the lighter wave of some of his earlier works... Jim's essence is a lyricism that by knowing the sadnesses and fears and doubts of humans keeps to give an hint of hope even in the darkest and most lonely universe of the rarefied space he shows us.
There's always the soul clearly exposed there.Always you can feel sensuality and passion as second guess from the ambiguity of his frozen canvases.
Jim's is the most transparent and pure creature you could meet: like water he's aiming to the freedom that gives no constriction,but like water freezes to scare and be dangerous to the man who holds no patience nor skill to discover the essential of the things, he can appear distant and far away to those who have no warmth to break his resistencies and barriers.
Well my message is... be warm with him, and he will just be the most essential of friends, by melting and reavealing all his awesome qualities and feelings.Break the ice and he will be your protective help.Basilar to life. Just like a pool of pure, unpolluted water would be to someone dried in a desert.Oh.. and if you have never heard his music.. GO AND TRY!!!!!! I have yet not decided if he makes better visual or listeneable art! And this's quite a big compliment for his music as his art is first class:)
Keep shine on my adored friend:) and Happy Birthday! :)

The Knight series is ended but.. not quite: after elements of Air (cneofotistos),Fire (jrulier),Earth (syndroid) and Water(Synapse today) there's one last element to consider, the Light: stay tuned and... you'll see what I meant ;))

Enjoy :)

You have always a thought for everyone. I think you have a very special solar energy (Aries of course!)

Once again,you have poured your emotions onto a blank page and eloquently expressed what you derive from those that make an impression in your life, to an image I am sure portrays their inner qualities. Although I only know of his art, which is truely amazing,you let us all see through your drawings just how deeply you care about those around you. You have always made the sweetest tributes to those you care about and this is no excepting...Many happy returns Synapse, hope your day is as joyous as this gift from Meli.

Looks great, like the other 3 knights. I really wonder what you mean with "The Light" Element. I just had Birthday one month ago, and if you would draw me, it would be the best present I've ever had. ;) Corven

I can imagine a book with your drawings and words, it's easy. I would buy your book because your art has something especial that I like very much. I don't know the works of Jim but HBday Jim! Now I'll take a look to his gallery.
Synapse
I was feeling down this morning, a couple of members of my family are in hospital, one in terminally ill circumstances, and I was feeling for all concerned. Then I found three birthday cards to open, also your lovely email and then this... I just felt this wave of love over me and tears were almost welling up lol. It really brightened my day so much :-)
This time you've had better references for me and the likeness is perfect. Only difference is I'm clean-shaven now but I know you made this portrait some time ago :-)
A very well composed piece, and you've tried to incorporate some of my glassiness too, bless your soul... this is just a beautiful present, as are you and I can't wait for us to meet very soon :-)
Thank you again for everything you are hugest hugs :-)
psychodan
