Favorite Quote:
I will cure myself in the sunshine and wind.

If you're tired of kissing me, I'd better go.

I'm a free-spirited gypsy and an emerald mermaid.

today he saw me bare and free of cloth
my aching body breaking for him
Shivers through my tendons,
trickles down my spine
as his eyes dart to every inch of my skeleton
He is so delicate and pure
I am slowly splitting at the seams
