The Dream

Monday, December 28th, 2020

Dark Roses and Dreams

Thursday, May 28th, 2020

Saturday, November 30th, 2019

I Dreamed of You

Tuesday, August 6th, 2019

Refractions and Reflections

Saturday, July 6th, 2019

Refractions, reflections, mirrors and ghosts Worlds built upon hidden rules Each the same in different ways You weave, you wait, you dream Always lost serene Beautiful Refractions, reflections, mirrors and ghosts Worlds built upon hidden rules Turned in on themselves Each the same in different ways You weave, you wait, you sip, you dream Always […]

The Man

Monday, March 12th, 2018
