When I look into their eyes, I swear I see the colours of their soul.
A vibrant red, for their passion, but also their struggles, the demons they’ve faced.
The demons never stopped them, but they sure came close. I trace my finger along their arm, remembering their story.
Lavender, for the softest parts of them. The way their hair falls right when they wake up, the way they scrunch their nose when pushing their glasses up, and every “I love you” that’s ever left their lips.
That colour reminds me of the proud lavender bush outside my mother’s childhood home. I ponder this for a moment, reminiscing about the days gone by.
A deep blue, almost black, for the aching sadness inside of them. There is beauty in this too. They too, ache for days gone by. We are the same that way.
We are the same in many ways, but so, so different. I am not as soft as they are. I am deep, angry colours. Colours that bleed together, make a mess.
Somehow, I don’t think this is what they see in me.

Freak On A Leash
Beth and I are the right fit for each other. We click and enjoy the same things. And she has a wild, kinky, erotic side. Which I thoroughly enjoy. The second time we hung out we made passionate love. She scratched my back and let me pull her long red hair. As well as saying Yes Sir, as we fucked roughly. For a younger woman of 31, with two kids. Aged 5 and 9. Petering out for a meal ticket and a pat on the back, that is not well-deserved. Just another psycho bitch I have picked up in my shattered life.

The Moon is Full of Drama
I have been taking pictures of the moon for almost 20 years now. That's a long time in photography years. (What are photography years? That will have to be a whole other article). So the statement I am making is, why is the moon full of drama? I guess my reverse question to you is, how could it not be? Look at the picture above for example, this image screams “I am ready for a night out on the town” It has glitz and glam and all the makings for an evening of fun. I took this image as a few different shots, some out of focus of the stars, and then of the moon, blended to give you a feel of depth. It is a fun little photography trick.
