Louilou
Profile
I’m from a creative background and have taken classes in creative writing and painting, but not formally. I have absolutely no discipline, I’m afraid, and have to wait for inspiration to force my hand! Having said that, nothing makes me happier than looking at a beautiful image or piece of writing on paper and knowing that I created it.
I still haven’t found my “voice” or distinctive style and am still open to learning and experimenting with new styles in all media.

Insomnia
At night / When you lie spent, / Open-mouthed, / Already dreaming, / I lie staring, / Restless, / Jealous. Frustrated, I try a childhood trick, / Align my breathing to yours, / Match the depth / A…
