Perfect Kiss

Seconds fading into glowing embers
Lighting paths to pester sweetly
Forgotten warmth in tepid letters
Unlocking horrors deep within me

Wishes dressed in hastened bliss
Sullen in this plague of doubt
Heart surrenders to this kiss
Eyes ravel in the mottled sound

Will it last until the morrow?
To years that wind into our story
Forbid it be a tale of sorrow
For I will never say I'm sorry

Hush, do not speak of pain
Nor must you turn away
Nil on Earth remains the same
Tears can yearn for later days

Now kiss me.

Updated image. Second application of gouache is still setting. God, it's hard to tinker with gouache.

Nice!!!

Yeah, that does sound like a tough problem mixing wet with dry, but I think you made the gouache work and it seems to blend in well with the dry media and create and interesting look.

I've been playing around with some india ink and graphite images and went with white acrylic paint for the highlights.

I think the gouache highlights turned out nicely. You created a very good likeness to the person. Impressive.

Thanks! I don't know many people who work with gouache esp. alongside dry media on paper meant esp. for dry media - which creates a challenge, doubly so if you want to edit anything after you've already set it down on paper.
