Lava at Midnight
An OdeMidnight Fire Mountain is lit
A blazing display reaching Heaven
Burning lava flows into blue
Shattering below, steaming above
Stirring an eruption in my heart
Powerful heat and light transform
Holding a sphere of inhabitants
Sound radiates through me
The taste of colour on my tongue
Swallow those pills with ease
Begin at the centre square
Jointed corners, imaging a path
Memories lay on blankets of steel
Warm candy floss clouds nurture
Senses explode into crystallised fragments
Scan the horizons wingspan
Minds fly high with virtue
Passing through the eye of a needle
Taken by rapture to a new existence
Fire Mountain is dormant
An Ode
Living wings rise up and up,
Through light clouds.
Panoramic view,
From a different minds eye.
Enigma lines send, and
receive magnetic waves.
The cities below watch
From inside window frames.
Paint an exquisite palette,
While processing dreams.
Generating energy
Of the ultimate kind.
Music creates the feeling of truth
Sound floating free,
Exploring infinite time.
Only to be whole, only to be one.
Where did you come from?
Where have you been?
The door is always open.
Come home to your abode.
Each minute is time
For waterfalls of the mind.
Innocence, with scars left behind.
Minds are now mended.
Abstracts by Milli
Milli’s Process
Milli is not a conceptual painter. She prefers to paint in the moment, sometimes inspired by images she has captured digitally, but mostly aspires from her own thoughts and imagination. She responds to her emotions and feelings translating them to abstract images on the canvas. Music is an integral part of this process in which Milli enters a world not our own from which she draws a semi conscious inspiration, which provides a delicate balance between control, and freedom from conscious thought. She uses a variety of materials and applications as well as hands on painting, preferring to apply paint directly to the canvas with palette knives, an assortment of brushes, and sometimes using her fingers. This is an organic process allowing direct translation of her energies onto the painting support. Because of her dedication to her craft Milli often paints into the small hours of the evening.
Her works vary with her day to day experiences, so her repertoire consists of a variety of images and styles. She likes to experiment with textures, applying her paint layer after layer, until she achieves the visual effect that she feels in harmony with. Her palette covers the full spectrum, nearly always incorporating gold and gold leaf. This is an intuitive process aided partially by a controlled environment, involving sound and light.
At the end of the day Milli wants to express herself, honestly while enjoying her work, and produce a unique insight into her own world so other people can share and enjoy her creativity
Saffron Wings
An Ode
Structured landscape of home
Making bread for the table
Modern technology evolving
A system we have come to trust
Zealous builders of hope
Winding roads between gullies
Nature of the variable line
Swirling rooftop, spun patterns
The radiant towers stand like dominos
Please don’t topple over!
We are held above saffron wings
Stretched across the Milky Way
Migrating through each element
Past constellations in the cosmos
Significance does stare back
Under hidden umbrellas
Time is torrential here
Choice at the crossroads
Only Truth does it behold
Arc of rainbow skies
An Ode
Liberal stitches mend time
Vision within a vivid dream
Emerald vein against the sky
Carry flames of desire
Electric currents run along wires
Strung above architecture.
Windows suspend on marigold;
Danced eternal melody
Sapphire - blue story foretold
Heard colour, felt sound
Saw texture underground
Juxtaposed senses of passion
