but in an empty promenade the silence is soothing.
My anchor heart finds comfort at...

The guillotine strikes fear, makes numbers large
Embrace of death that variance demands.
All are ruled...

Lady of the Night - IYou were born in a war ravaged state
You lost your man to the caprices of fate
You fell prey to your wayward ways
Victims of betrayal, greed or circumstances
You were drowned in the tide of darkness
Depraved incidents of forced sex and perversions
Rooted in carnal desires and unsated...

horizon soothed with voiles of heat haze

floral tapestry feathery foliage of green
contrasting multi coloured layered themes

turning reality into soul satisfying dreams,
sultry evenings attracting light drawn insects
