She sleeps...
(Lichens and moss
Tapestries across stone and wood)

My beautiful killer
With her greens and browns and creamy
Soft
Kisses
Her hair falls across her wild eyes like...

You leave so much to the imagining yet also paint such an intricate canvas. So many questions left to awe but if they were answered it would ruin the finer aspect of this piece. Amazing style you've presented with this. I haven't seen anything like it in a good while.
