Frozen memories melt and flow 
Penetrate but do not satiate
Moments of insipid sight

X-Ray

...”Doing nothing follow love’s intimate scent ~ 
Unwrap life slowly, like a birthday present”

Dream State Yields Deep Sleep Personifications

Melancholy

...no time of peace from ink stains inside the mind
                                         a fluted overlapping
