Premium Member Old Mate
I have this burning desire
To find old mate
I want to sit
And chat with him

Times of old
Places we’ve been told
Along the wallaby track
Signs of danger
Moments...

Gothic 17
"Gothic 17"

provided they are 
all story 
and no reflection 

I’m all for heroines
those coiled springs
minds like vampires

the ones 
who 
never sleep

sharp teeth
dripping words 
that bleed

kissing lips dreaming
lips speaking, punctured

No man dug fortune, only misconception and silence.
Her predecessors left her no gold to kick the dust off.

A stone so beautiful
The gem of gems
This carbon icon
A girls best friend
 
In many a place mined
