'In my Eye'

Tell me true, give me time.
Trust me, tell me,
this time history won't rhyme.

You can run,
and run,
and run,
and I will walk on embers.

You can fly,
and fly,
and I,
will be the one that remembers.

A white bird on a stormy sky,
told me Once Upon a Time is stronger than what they said.
Even if you don't want to try,
Happily Ever After is nothing if you're already dead.

You can dream,
and dream,
and dream,
and I will watch the giant die.

You can cry,
and cry,
and I,
carry the world you loved in my eye.

Tell me true, give me time.
If you only trust me,
now this history won't rhyme.

You can run,
and fly,
and dream,
and cry.

And I will walk on embers.
And I will be the one who remembers.
And I will watch the giant die.
And I carry the world you loved in my eye.

In my eye.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ah, sorry about that. Couldn't help myself. Anyway, here is Emantion Queen, looking just a wee bit more techno-punk than normal. For those of you who have no idea who she is, you can read her bio here, and read ~TheIronWizard to see her in action.

But in short: Emantion is a heavily armed, highly tuned, extremely skilled, eight foot tall gold death machine who likes playing chess and writing poetry (she wrote the above poem about herself by herself). She is the good friend and companion of Spike Ramoran.

Prismacolor pencils on 9"x12" illustration paper. Inspiration for her redesign, as it were, came largely from early renders of the Halo 3 Spartans. Yay for Bungie!
