Favorite Quote:
If I lost the light of the Sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you

Awaken the bird
Oh! Sleepless dove
Whose rest was barely hastened
The wind in the willows
Awakens thee
And shudders a fateful evening
Tremble and warble the sleepless dove
Who cannot shed a tear
For the wind in the willows
Awakens thee
And dissolves you to waterless fears
