when he bids me
separate
go home
stop following behind
let there be
time without memory
all is loss
my soul gone
into numb nothingness
my body unable
to know or move

forbidden garden
he lures me here
where love
will not come again

from hard candy to Hello Kitty bows to zebra print nails only Jem could love, here are a few of my favorites. you’ll be amazed…or feel really bashful about your boring-by-comparison fresh mani.
and these are my all-time favorite because…
they are not unlike this famous painting by Hokusai:
