When the darkness falls and all that’s left is but our bare bones,
Held fast by bittersweet memories.
Our bodies exhausted of all they can give,
Depleted, battered and fallen.
We look to the skies where once our dreams and prospects were within reach,
But now flies further from our grasp.
Mind and soul sinking deeper into the despair of it all.
What is there now for me?
The forgotten remnants of the past and yet my will hangs on! – “Immortal”
I hope you enjoy my accompanying poem and completed painting, Immortal. This is the first full imagine I have done using both Derwent Inktense pencils and Faber Castell polychromos colour pencils on Strathmore Bristol paper, with highlights using Uni Posca white pen and Caran D’Ache Luminance white pencil. 🙂
