Threnody by =ShardGlass. From the suggester: "Nothing I can say will make this magnificient work justice! I can easily say that Threnody by =ShardGlass is one of my all time favourites from the whole site! The way =ShardGlass painted this with such intricate detail and caring took my breath away, and the story behind it along with that marvelous poem stole my heart in the blink of an eye!"

Description

"In the first year of my death you brought me roses every day,
Compensating for your bombazine with each new bouquet.
Now my headstone sits forgotten in this graveyard overgrown.
Do not bring me flowers, love, my flesh will grow its own.

I give myself to roses, from toes to ears to thighs.
The lilies take my fingers and the grasses have my eyes.
My old songs hover restlessly; my odes these roots invite;
My phantom tongue still wags though my phantom limbs won't write..."

Painted in Photoshop CS. Took so very, very long.
