"I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall" lyrics of Desert Rose by Sting


this has always been one of my favourate songs, and i was listening to it as i drew this. i used my own reference, a photo i took at the horse show last weekend of my freinds arabian stallion.
the colours and indeed the subject were inspired a little by s picture 'daughter'
im not sure if hes a ghost or a spirit or a real unicorn. it has to be one of the fastest pictures ive ever done, ive completed it within a week O.o

I won't conform to what I see in you, I won't surrender what I am. And even if it was a part of me, I'll never be that way again. ~Demon Hunter

I like sunsets, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

Absolutely stunning, the lighting especially; primarily because the entire piece seems to be composed of light. What's with the low quality image though? :o
