A COLLABORATION WITH LINAJI / (Thank you very much for your excellent poem) Where Do You Love From…Really / Author: linaji Where Do You Love From? / Your pink painted toes? / Or the hollow of your sighs / As my tongue journeys unabashedly / Down the silk trails of your thighs Does my latent life scream Onlyness? / Echo Eons from the heart / Where do you / Love from / Live From / Darling / When do we ever start? History has changed much / Now that Eve did eat the snake, / She brought about apples only / For mother’s pie in Adam’s wake Where do you Love from / Really? / The marrow of your bones? / Is longing, loving and living here / A pirates chest of stones? What about your fingertips? / Dipping softly into my flesh, / Do I utter sighs with beggars eyes / Or do I let our two lips mesh? Do you feel from what is stillness / A time when lovers care, / Do you ooze the sweet-laced vapors? / That my focus on you dares, That moan / That cry / That primal stare / That leads me inside you / Elusive hips that ride your smile / And worlds outside the Que. / A passions mist that takes our lips / A fog beyond compare, / I lay here spent with one leg bent / And dream with you I dare.. Now,, Where do you Love from,,,, / Really. FROM PARIS SERIES: / UNE FEMME PENSIVE / GLAMOUR / / BELLE PARISIENNE / / CHARLESTON / / / BELLE DE JOUR / / / FEMME EN BLEU /

This was a modern art piece at The Palace of Versailles (France), situated in the front courtyard. It is a little hard to explain, but it was a sculpture of a balloon (you know how there are those people who make animals etc out of balloons?) It was like a giant one of them. I am not sure what it was made from, but as you can see it was very reflective. / In my own humble opinion I thought it was one of the ugliest things sculptures I had ever seen, and having it in the Palace of Versailles seemed almost an insult to history. But as you can see, it made for some interesting shots, (this one is zoomed in) and for that I am grateful of it. Still it was a very strange thing to see at such a historical site. / Little did I know the horrors that awaited inside the palace!!!!

Life Is A Game I hate the world today / Nothing, it seems, / Has turned out the right way / I don’t know what to say / Life is a game / That I don’t know how to play I’ve tried… / and tried… A few words / Come to mind / Deaf and dumb / Stupid and blind / It can be brutal sometimes / So ya, gird your loins / And cleanse your mind Spinning the wheel / It’s really no big deal / Spinning the wheel / It’s really no big deal Minor stings / From major things / Moving from right to right / You can bet there’s an imminent threat / When someone turns on the light I will… / I will… Spinning the wheel / It’s really no big deal / Spinning the wheel / It’s really no big deal Spinning… Spinning… Spinning… Robert Allan © 2006 All rights reserved.

The Petit Trianon was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel by the order of Louis XV for his long-term mistress, Madame de Pompadour, and was constructed between 1762-1768. Madame de Pompadour died four years before its completion, and it was subsequently occupied by her successor, Madame du Barry. Upon his accession to the throne in 1774, the 20-year-old Louis XVI gave the château and its surrounding park to his 19-year-old Queen Marie Antoinette for her exclusive use and enjoyment. A monument of extravagant simplicity, the toy village had its own thatched cottages, a dairy barn with marble walls and floors and a prize herd of Swiss cows, and the picturesque watermill where the village maidens did their washing and the village peasants ground their corn. / Featured in UNIQUE BUILDINGS OF THE WORLD/August, 2009 /

The naked earth is warm with Spring, / And with green grass and bursting trees / Leans to the sun’s gaze glorying, / And quivers in the sunny breeze; And life is colour and warmth and light, / And a striving evermore for these; / And he is dead who will not fight; / And who dies fighting has increase. The fighting man shall from the sun / Take warmth, and life from the glowing earth; / Speed with the light-foot winds to run, / And with the trees to newer birth; / And find, when fighting shall be done, / Great rest, and fullness after dearth. Poem written Julian Grenfell, Into Battle, April, 1915 Julian Grenfell, the son of Lord Desborough, was born in 1888. Educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, he joined the Royal Dragoons in 1910. During the next four years Grenfell served as a cavalry officer in India and South Africa. Grenfell was badly wounded when he was hit by shrapnel during action near Ypres. Julian Grenfell was taken to a hospital in Boulogne but died on 26th May 1915. / A few days later his poem, Into Battle, was published in The Times. It later became one of the most popular poems of the First World War. In memory of them all. Music – Barber – Agnus Dei Painting was inspired by Julian Grenfell Using acrylics, graphite and copper pigment / 102×42cm on textured paper. September, 2nd 2009
