Paradise, where have you gone?
I long so to see your shore.
I have to wait, it makes my eyes sore;
sinking more all the time.
Blessed by your request on high,
I was lied to.
Wrought by learning less from outside,
I had a right to bruise.

I've traded wine for Elysium,
I've traded souls stone to gray.
I'm half-aware with my mind closed,
thinking more all the time.
Blessed by my new quest on high,
I was lied to.
Taught by the Prophets from our skies,
I fell in to truth.

Baited and wily,
oh Luna can't you shine the way for me?
I'm lost in this mirror of souls, a warrior without war.
I am aching so wildly,
oh Luna can't you shine the way for me?
I am lost in this mirror of souls, I'm without words.
Going home.

________________________________________________

this is the red copy, for entry in the *AVA's seasonal contest. the theme was a V-Day/White Day, palette constraints red-white-black. title translates into Tofilius and the Nerium. it depicts the named character waiting for his unlikely lover in a massive stand of deadly oleander with a stone idol of her likeness nearby.

details in the tru-color version. but for now:
Elysium lyrics © Claire Voyant. i thought it was perfect.

Tofiglio e il Nerio by =sparkpenguin "The colour palette is used beautifully here with a perfect balance between black, white and red. The composition is stunning and I love how the image bleeds emotion; the symbolism is very strong here. Such a unique spin on the anime style, too." ( Suggested by ~MachinesBleedToo and Featured by $Ikue )
