Her persona is like a portrait of picturesque perfection, embalmed in bittersweet lavender, unseen within depths of tributaries of elixir. If only they knew the chaos that flows, constrained in a confined gallery of grief. Not everyone is a master painter. Some brush with brutal bruised...

Melanin
Wash away the sins of the father Release your head from the sand Try to start again Or ignore the reaching hand Who are you to judge over a body? A way of life? A face growing weary and thin?

Pigment and Hue
The manicured, The portrait, Colours of the week, Colours I choose, Decisions to make, Decisions I make, The door I open, The path I see, The elements I allow. The manicured, The portrait, Colours of the week, Colours I don’t choose, Decisions I don’t make, Decisions that orchestrate themselves, The door that opens, Of its will and accord, Gloom disperses. The manicured, The portrait, Colours I admire, Colours I'd always want to see, They don’t always surround, They...

The Pigment of Illustration
Rain falls Lights brighten the space above the sidewalk There on the corner stands a girl She stands tall yet frail Her face is in anguish, so pale Pain clearly controls her The emotion on her face is washed out like the light softly brushing the pavement. She screams, tears stream but there is no sound No way to convey the truth No...
