Yes… it seems there are angels…
impregnade of gold and mist,
broken dreams for many hearts,
so distanced from beauty.
from youth.. from awe.
Such translucent skin..is for dreamers..
untouchable worls of tender, soft,
raw desires..
The air is revolting,
oxidiizing the light…
prey of envy…
corrupting what…can corrupt..
in desperation.
Rosa (perfect….symbol of what is going to fade… and now behind the menace..glows with intriguing and insolent show of power of beauty and youth)

you made this look like a really old renaissance painting or something- love it!

Thomas. It is when you do this kind of work that I am blessed with a smile. In Her face is the beauty Paris had to compare to others in his decision and yet a closer look – that position of Her jaw and hardness to Her eyes – reveals the cold, judgemental, uncomprimising element that makes this Goddess such a magnificent tool for the pure and such a liability for those with cloaked intentions.
The double edged sword glints bright in the light of a new day, but even the wielder can not be sure, unless his heart is truly pure, which way that blade will sway.
