A Fresco Promise

I promise you a fresco. With all your hardened hues. Brushed with a novice palm and a masters' hearty rouge... To paint your dreams, I'll give you one step beyond everything. Until the eyes devour colors of death. I'll sacrifice my bones to alabaster. Fashion a pair of Icarus wings. Fly straight into the blackest sun. This will take a lifetime to conceive. But time does not chain a love that's chained to eternity. I promise you a fresco, like a desert cloud makes raindrop promises.
