Description
A smiling face before me stands.Do his eyes see within me now?
Would he be smiling as he does,
to know my inner soul?
Look not too deeply into depths
Lest gleaming eye fade into loathe.
Dear jester king behold my visage.
Not the heart that beats beyond.
And yet the smile fades not away,
As hearts do open into bloom.
------------
Dang! It's hard to do one from the fem side!
I had to resort to universal emotions!
I know the both of them kinda suck.
They're here for the poems.
DAZ studio, no lights or anything. Photoshop for the border and touchups. I took that picture in the background! It's on a plane flying behind him!

I think you did a good job of expressing from this view.. It would be difficult for you to go much deeper than the universal emotions since you are not a woman... Good job on this!

Trying to figure out the other side is never a bad thing. New experiences are good for you. Not bad at all.

Heh, I'll bet. Females confuse me, and I'm one of them.

I don't really know if the "universal" emotions I had to resort to even apply to women.

Good! There was more than a little trepidation treading that thin ice. Do I offend? Is this actually universal, will both sexes understand the other point of view? Always a worry of mine. I try to pack an emotional whallop into my pics.

No, it's fine. No offense, from me any ways.
Art and music are the most universal forms of communication. Good work.

Nice job, and a quick "turnaround". She expresses the same style of fears/insecurities as he does.
But I was surprised, and a bit embarrased; I expected that from her perspective she would be "wearing the fools hat" (bad hair day?, I don't know how women are self-concious). But no! She sees his foolish nature. The embarrasment comes from feeling that I can't look at it from a third person perspective; as a guy, I'm stuck in the fools hat, exposed. She looks great, in both views.

I was hoping to represent her multiple voices in some different way. I know I have this suave guy, and this mutant little beast on my shoulders. And I wear the fools cap. I've always adored women, so her having similar fears was the exploration. I know I'm a fool, but she?

Her voices are interesting to figure out. His seem respectable v. animal. Hers, straight laced v. ? (open? free?)

I had hoped to somehow represent that angst and excitement of meeting someone, of the opposite sex. That feeling of would they like me the more they get to know me? From the feminine side was terribly difficult.

They do tend to be obscure.

But if they were more like guys, we might like them more, but we'd surely love them less.
