December Elegy

“May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves, heaven wither.
Savage is the winter prevailing within.
I fall for thee.
Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven.

Breed my night like tears of sorrow.
Living a lie.
Creep with life the days that morrow.
Living a lie.
Thee scent like snow.

I find thy lilies there of snow,
Where once I died, weeping for thee.
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within,
Falling for thee…
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life.

Breed my night like tears of sorrow.
Living a lie.
Creep with life the days that morrow.
Living a lie.
Thee scent like snow.
Breed my night with thy sorrow.

Examinate this pain like snow
Driven far from my efferly loss.
Enter this extended night of sorrow,
Pain, flowing tears…

Breed my woe,
Descend with broken wings,
Descend with broken wings.
Midwinter night inside, inside.
Merged by life
Like thousand frozen tears.
Come melt the ice, maytime!”

I was really looking forward to shooting with my dear Ayl, as I love her work as a photographer: not only does she take wonderful photos, but also does a wonderul postproduction. I really wanted to bring some of her colors and atmospheres to my gallery with this collaboration. I’m totally in love with this photo, it looks unreal, yet tender and intimate.
