As The Swallow Flies

¨Follow me; you are my pink shadow; guide me; you are my early ray of morning light.
Petals as soft as the swallow that flies; between you & I, reach out your hand; we'll drift away; & fly to where the swallow decides.¨

Poem dedicated to Johanna Sterling by Rachel Ottley

¨It's not just about believing in yourself; it's about finding yourself & believing in the journey¨ - Rachel

My Final Exam - Chasing Rainbows

The ability to open a book and be subconsciously transformed into another time, another place or to loose yourself in the dreams of others and the emotions being perceived. Relate to the dream or not to relate, or just to be absorbed into the overall sublimity of what is being portrayed.

So I took shelter from the storm in your trembling arms; the smell of rain on your skin reminded me of Spring; you kissed me slowly; for a moment my world stood still. Tired eyes remind me of those long passionate nights. Hold me in the moonlight; kiss me until the rise of dawn.

Exam ....work in progress

We'll see what happens......



"You; The Ghost in Me"

I met a man in Berlin, a man without a dwelling; cushions were outgrown, protection like a thrown.
From time to time he followed me; deep within my thoughts; the cold empty streets like a shadowed pause.
No wink or nudge; just hiding from the light;
perhaps tomorrow is another day within the Berlin shadows.

Ok for all you curious souls...take a peek of the freak at work

Urrr "where the hell am I going?"

Oh my god I'm using a tripod ....first time for everything I suppose



Note the hand, the hand the hand it's all in the hand

Magical light makes me happy


Thank you so much to everyone involved..... xx

Forbidden Boudoir

Some have won a wild delight,
By daring wilder sorrow;
Could I gain thy love to-night,
I'd hazard death to-morrow.
