The First One
We'll have to choose, dear, we shall choose not between the colors of the sky or the earth, religion and God, We must pick it up, dear; we must pick not the stars of the night, nor the flowers of the day, secretly, my darling, secretly we shall extract this tear from the past that never left and didn't even start like...

No Mind Today
Only me, looking at the blue sky, and the blue looking at me, No doubts, Only me, lying on lavish grass and breathing the smell of wet earth after rain, No doubts, Only me, and my sweet pain reflecting into each other’s eyes, No doubts, Only me, and you kissing the droplets of hidden desire, No doubts,...

Premium Member Under the Moon
My mind’s eye preoccupation, I am captive to my guiding light, the source of all my equivocal influences. Erik Satie under the moon, Shadowy contours against a nocturnal silver sky, my subliminal ambient impressionism. I am walking a shrouded path, trudging through murky ponds where I find the silhouette of cattails swaying against the moon. Here, I inhale the night wind...
