Beautiful Humans



Wearable Art



Cards For All Occasions




Well, I never expected to find you here.
Especially as here is the furthest place in your mind.
I do believe here is somewhere that you might enjoy, so since you’re here sit down for a while.
A wise man once told me that a road untravelled is a leeson unlearned.
That man is now buried and unable to give his opinions about life.

There’s been along time between you and me, yet we haven’t travelled very far, we still marvel at how different we are.
The hours will pass slowly and you’ll get up to leave…
C’mon, just one more cup of coffee?
Please?

You smile and wave and close the door behind you.
Goodbye is a term not often used around here.
Back to that road untravelled, untravelled for a reason?
There is something else out there for us to find.
Perhaps to find our purpose.

Here.

Writings

If I Do That?

If I do that, will you feel like a whore? / If I do that, are you going to want more? / If I do that, do I gain higher place? / If I do that, what’s the after taste?

Surgery of a Soul.

Surgery of a soul In need of repair. / Tiny little instruments used with such care. / A spirit mechanic with a look of despair.

Immerse and Surrender

My eyes without you are forlorn, / I bequeath you with all that I am.

This Is Your Life...

I cannot do anything for you / I am not here to teach you. / Suicide is never a solution / It’s just another cause of death.

Glorified.

Holding back the fears that promised so much yesterday, / With auburn hair and golden lips she took all my cares away.

I Am God.

…And soon I’ll be baptised! / I will rise even higher! / No need to associate with the outside! / I am beyond everyone now!
