Powerfully penned, Willow & Mary. I love the guitar riff in this, and have got to ask what was that? A cello or violin at the beginning and end with a distorted effect on it. Whoever made that call, that was pretty cool. Nice collaboration you two. Appreciate you, both.

That was indeed a cello! That was my call. Cello has the same deep gut effect as bass…which is my obsession. Mary digs violin more. But I’m rubbing off on her. 😉 We poured ourselves into this one. Thank you so much, my friend

Great write Sam
Not sure if the universe lies or we just don’t know how to read it properly.
Lust drives us to love and more often than not love drives us to lust.Its the impermanence of both that we don’t acknowledge. -

Sam, I agree with Peter. Unsure if the universe lies or if we don’t know how to read it properly. But who ever said it would be easy??
Cheers to love, and to lust. May we find it many times in our lifetimes. Hear, hear! Great write xx

Here is Guillotine bi-trillets
The ring of steel bells. beckons us to hell
The audience ignores the sound
Multiple bodies hit the groundThe chiming goes on, sings a restless song
Unrelenting sorrowful tears
The heart shutters to stop in fearHope is so far gone, whispered please at dawn
Guillotine swinging in the sun

Gobsmacking good, Fia!
When you can take a form like this one you’ve never even seen before, observe a few easy details – then, with an earnest effort, turn it into such a creatively captivating poetic tale, makingi it seem effortless – now, that’s something to be proud of, because not everyone possesses this level of potential and/or natural…Read More

I love abandoned buildings and urbex, places that have personality & soul. It really makes you think about all the stories and feelings that haunt those rooms long settled into stillness and the quiet noise of slow decay, so much like those old folks now mostly forgotten.

I am an urbex hound myself and feel much the same as you. I suppose that’s what made me follow that theme. Thank you 😊

Thank you, Damian. Coming from you, that means a lot. I try to hear what the words are saying. They always have a voice of their own and I guess I enjoy and connect more easily with them than with people frequently. Just gotta listen. Thank you, my friend 😊

Willow, I hardly know what to say. It is a great honor to have something named for me. I am doubly pleased that it is a decaying old thing which — no, this is not an insult!– that it creaks, with unspoken stories and strangely unseen secrets; the wind does whistle through my cracked windows, my friend, and curiosity still burns with undying heat. another story is always waiting. Yes, you couldn’t have painted a better picture of me with a camera. Thank you for this lovely, lovely gift!

The stories untold are moments lost. When nobody asks, they remain locked away. My elders have been my rocks. The Roots I grew from. Without those stories, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Your young ones must feel the same of you, my friend
