A tapestry of love’s desire stitched and weaved with memories unravels in two hearts apart and lays bare the needs of soul. But threads of past intensity unrelenting stay attached like spirit hands in devil lands won’t leave well enough alone.

When it comes time to do something it seems that things multiply and suddenly another thing cries, “Me, me, me, me, me” and you look at that thing wondering if that thing fits other things or whether it’s just a thing creeping into other things where nothing belongs. So come all things, those merry things, [...]

I do not have to shop for magic wands and fairy spells because the store is closed to believers just like me and yet I stop to think that maybe this or that could magically transform my dreams into real. Dream catchers are for fools content to only dream, bones and stones can’t break the [...]

The gypsy’s fire has burnt to ash and she has now retired from passion’s inspiration to dance so mindfully to the tune of all she feels. The rain has started falling; pitter-patter, pit-pat-pat, and there’s a momentary pause before the rain is allowed to mingle with her tears and make them be as not. The [...]

In a moment of sheer and extraordinary bliss I like to think the world doesn’t exist but the world is a constant; it never is not and bliss fades into obscurity.
