Worthless Love

The rosy colour in your lavish cheeks,
opaque lips,
yearning for a touch,
yearning, dark red gloss like blood,
smearing over your face.

Let me drain the roses from you,
your pale chest heaving up and down,
dark and stuffy room,
street lanterns shining through the blinds,
intruding in our sadness,
smell of dust and fat and consumption
filling my nose.

Let me ravish you to the bone,
come crawling over the greyed out sheets,
come crawling for my worthless love,
leaving you cold and regretting
in the dark.

Just Take My Soul

Just take my soul, piece by piece, rip it apart, dissolve it and pour it down the drain. I'll be better off among my own, among the dead. You think I'm a liar, maybe I am. Who knows what's real anyway? I can see my world slowly dissolving around me. I wish I could burn my skin and flesh away, dissolve with my world into nothingness - a fast, floating dream without any impact. Is now the time to say goodbye?

Fern

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.

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.
