i will wade out...

i will wade out

till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers

i will take the sun in my mouth

and leap into the ripe air

alive

with closed eyes

erased

the moment

i saw you

my love,

it was as if

i

had never seen

another woman

in all

of all women

blended

into one blur

and slipped

quietly

out the back door

of my memory.

when you

kissed me,

i swear

i

had never felt

another’s lips

before,

nor would

i

ever again.

never let the demands of tomorrow interfere with
the pleasures and excitement of today.

i almost wished we were butterflies

i almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days-

three such days with you i could fill with more delight

than fifty common years could ever contain.

when two people meet...

when two people meet, each one is changed by the other
so you’ve got two new people.

it's healthy to spend time alone

...but i think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. you need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

someday, somewhere - anywhere

someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you’ll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

sneak peek...

 an angel can illuminate the thought and mind of man by strengthening the power of vision.  ~st thomas aquinas

images and clothing by me

model: jeng erzenjak

touched by an angel

we, unaccustomed to courage

exiles from delight

live coiled in shells of loneliness

until love leaves it's high holy temple

and comes into our sight

to liberate us into life.

love arrives

and in its train come ecstasies

old memories of pleasure

ancient histories of pain.

yet if we are bold,

love strikes away the chains of fear

from our souls.

we are weaned from our timidity

in the flus of love's light

we dare be brave.

that love costs all we are

and will ever be.

yet it is only love

which sets us free.

sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

still captivating today...

maryam kordbacheh

maryam kordbacheh dutch but iranian born makes the most beautiful clothing. her designs are a study of technique and form in which craftsmanship plays an important role. she finds the right balance between experimental and wearable design, between dreams and reality.

i love those oversized wall stickers of graphic designer fabien barral. there are plenty more to choose from at his website: harmonie-interieure
