Yes... even I draw a complete blank some mormings...~~~~~~~~~~
Blank As my hand holds the pen just as it has a hundred times before my eyes blink and blink again hoping for the words to fall Is it a curse or blessing that such effort is required Is the blank page the sum of my thoughts or is it inspiration emerging slow and deliberate I know that though my...

“A woman knows the face of the man she loves like a sailor knows
the open sea" ~ Balzac (Couldn’t track down the artist) Melt His eyes magically defying the woman I am shaping me into my better and best The colour not quite the same as mine but strangely alike with both shine and sheen His eyes filled with lovers flame leave me frozen in the dark and melting...

Que Sera Sera - don't you think? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I may be crazy but it keeps me from going insane.” ~ Waylon Jennings
