The second image commissioned by Mason Marconi. For this one, all I needed to know was to paint one of my trademark beautiful boys. Like with the other, though, I took the opportunity to learn new things. Try out new angles of my work. Again, Mason has approved of the image, and I doubt I'll be doing any changes :] I hope you like.

Text to go with it:

~
"From darkness, to light, for you -"
Whispered, a breath of honey in the air tinged with emeralds.
"I turned my back on my friends,"
A rustle of leaves. A soft trail of air against a cheek. Locks of ashes and ebony.
", I turned my gaze from my family,"
Fingertips, alabaster pale and softer than ice,
", and you - you turned my lips from yours."
His palm drifts like a feather against the trunk of a tree.

Rough, the bark. Digging into his palm. It should have been a caress. It should have been her, but it is not.

"From darkness, to light, for you -"

Eyes, closing.

"but you... pushed me back into shadows."
