My Curse
Recall a vague and fading past
Before each turned to flee in fear
I used to be amongst the real.
I took too many
Only the lost now seek a refuge
For I am chained here
Apart from those whom I may touch
Afraid I may
Turn their golden feathers
To an ashen grey.
So this is my curse?
I could gaze forever
Into my own soul, or a lonely sky
Yet I see them flock
And gather at my feet.
How curious this bleeding
Intrigued by quiet cawing
Do they suffer?
So far removed from the warmth of flesh;
A distant sense of emotion.
Examine remains;
Try to remember
How it feels
To make the living bleed once more

WIP - 'My Curse'
Can't remember how long it took Maybe 15 hours? I took this one nice and slowly though. Fully digital painting, done in Photoshop from scratch; very enjoyable to paint. I might tweak it a bit more, but I quite like it as it is at the moment. It's a window unto my mind; and imperfect as such...
