When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Well, Thank You because the editing and colours are mine if not the photography :P ehehehehe yes, I didn't take this, it's actually ME. I still can't believe I missed out something so crucial while submitting it but I let it stay on here because nelehjr said she liked it a lot. So anyway, Thanks! Lexy <3 <3 <3

Woah! It is so eerie yet beautiful. The mystery, the anonymity, the colors, the shadows, the contrast between sharp and soft lines...just brilliant.

hehehehe :)) Well, I guess you're right about all of that except that those aren't houses, actually that was sort of a tourist spot or hill station whatever you call it, so it's just huge umbrellas covering  tables where people sit and the hut is kind of the place where they order food from: Yummy tikka <3    Well, that thing is so beautiful isn't it. let's just be humans/fellow writer/poets together. :)) Love always.

Oooh! You should make that your profile thingy! And I'm flattered you're leaving it up there on my behalf *Warm fuzzies* It's just well, yeah, the difference in clothing, your long curly hair, the bracelets, the houses. They look different. But when I think about it we're not so different I wear a dress at least once a week, I keep a massive amount of bracelts on my left wrist, and I also have waist length hair. Kinda gets that whole invisble-thread we're-all-conected lets-just-be-humans-together thing going :)

Hey, that just made me realize something so odd. Sheesh, the thing is that that's me. And that means someone else as in my brother or sister took it so why the heck did I put it up here? Eeeek...TI, please don't kill me :P  Ah, well I think I'll just leave it up here cause YOU like it <3 Oh wait, you love it. Ah, Thanks SO much for the lovely comment. And hey, well I guess that's because of the difference in clothing. Or well, I dunno. Feel free to elaborate that different in what way :)) P.S. I love your username and all. SO unique. BUT, I cannot find out how to pronounce it...
