Favorite Quote:
A career is wonderful, but you can&#039;t curl up with it on a cold night. <br /> Marilyn Monroe <br /> <br /> Fiction is the truth inside the lie. <br /> Stephen King <br /> No, it&#039;s not a very good story - its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside. <br /> Stephen King

Dark beauty
Summer skies
Languid noise
Haunts
Solsticed dreams
Come true

Cigarette smoke
Late night jazz
Crash-
Inspiration drags
Her finger nails
Across my skin

City life
Drinks me in
Red wine
Stains
The pages of
My burnt soul

Under moonless scapes
Metropolis lights
Becomes constellations
I lose myself
Peerless
Within a trenchant
Dark beauty
Tonight
