Like a pearl dropped in red dark wine,
Your pale face sank within my heart,
Not to be mine, yet always mine.

The cruel agonies, the poignant struggles,
the bitter tears have been replaced by a tender companion...
pale and gentle Melancholy

Artist's notes: What started out as a doodle to break through my Artist's block, turned into this. Letting the mind wander, enjoying texture and color....
