Favorite Quote:
"There is not a single degradation of the body which I must not try and make into a spiritualising of the soul." -Oscar Wilde


Your touch haunts me
Like the scent of morning dew.

Photographs and poetry
Only bring me back to you.

Fifty fortnights and a day,
I still recall
A lock and key,
The ridges between your knuckles,
And the power in your eyes.

A cloud of stale smoke lingers,
While the taste of a new lover
Temporarily fills the cavern that has become my heart.
