Dancing Girl

Sparks are flying through
the warm summer night.
The flames are dancing,
reaching for the sky,
trying to touch it.

The stars and the moon
shine silver light on your
sun-burned skin,
on the ebony hair,
the masses of colourful cloth.

The flames shine on your
smooth skin,
golden light on the dark caresses
of sun.

The music plays around
your hips,
around your strong frame,
the notes lifting your beauty
up to the sky.

And your bare feet
stepping strongly on the dust
and soil,
dancing away the night
and the worries of the day,
proclaiming the freedom of your soul.

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.

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.

Westport

I took this picture the day before the wedding of one of my friends in 2017. I was at the time still living in Germany and had travelled to Ireland just for the wedding. It was to take place in Mulranny in Mayo. My boyfriend and I had a friend living close by, so we stayed with him for a night and spend the day before the wedding in the town of Westport, where I took this shot (and many more really beautiful ones). If you ever get to Westport or the general Mayo area, you absolutely have to try the Clew Bay Sunset beer. It's a red ale and it's so far the best beer I have ever had. So if you're into beer and are ever there, get it! It's not really available anywhere else in the country, unfortunately.
