Favorite Quote:
My heart is blind, that so it can love the soul that is too bright for the eyes to see.


Leathery wings flutter,

black and cold,
Full of unheard whispers,

both eerie and old.
A cracked stone heart,

yet it’s soul is bold,
A vision of death,

in my hand I hold.

Death is short. Death is simple. Death is what I admire most.
