Sandal Wood

Sweet smell of burning
sandal wood
fills the air,
overtakes my mind,
leads it into other spheres.
The day is dying,
the night just breing born,
as I decide what signs
I should wear.
The incense sweetly seducing my senses,
my thoughts go astray.
I take in the sensations
one by one
enjoying how they linger,
how they make me feel awake.
Touches unspoken of on pale skin,
wind carrying the smell of burning,
heartbeat, faster, faster,
as the night grows on me.
Calling the names,
bizarre dances in the shadows,
the chanting, the ecstasy -
I am ready.

All the Universes

Light travels fast, light travels far, come and travel with me and with light... far, far away... to the farthest realm... darkness surrounds me, but soon the sky lights up with millions and millions of stars and I am not alone. Oh, sweet cosmic abyss, embrace my poor soul and make me immortal, so I can see... so I can feel... all the universes... all the universes out here... swimming through time until the end of it and the start of a new time in oh so many dimensions... spread out, crumbled up, sticking together, floating, rolling, turtleneck dimensions.

Terribly Lost

Thick mists cover the water, mountains loom over me, an old wooden quay leading to nowhere. Oh, I got so terribly lost, I can see through the fog, but I can't feel the cold. Oh, dance with me on this old wooden quay. I take off my dress and feel the wind, the wind that is roughing up the waters, carressing my skin. Come, follow me, my sweetheart, we'll go for a swim and we'll dance under water in the dark. As the waves crush over me and I sink and I dance, I can see through the mist and the dark. Oh, I got so terribly lost.

This was an early picture that I took with my mum's first digital camera. I had lots of fun with the macro function in our backyard and in some of the parks in our little town. That was before I was made aware that people would usually deal drugs in those parks and was forbidden to go. I went anyways.
