Like fireflies flickering through the night

a momentary blaze sets her face alight.

Lost in the flow and feeling the heat

it's easy to glide to that summer beat.

The pain is temporary

Elevate your higher self.

The heat cascades over you

Elevate your higher self.

Break on through, and

Elevate your higher self.

“20, 20, 24 hours to go…”

Stablehands’ music softly echoed

From my abandoned stall.

But I cared naught.

Soft light of morning warmed the skin

And the dewy foliage of the verge

Between pastures

Exhaled a soft mist into vale.

Yin and yang,

A spinning cyclone of flame.

Fire and ice,

Wind rent by manic kites.

A tempest,

Limbs akimbo and stressed.

That cyclone

Of life and love, then… gone.

The poet Yasiin is right.

The pillars of empire are crumbling around us

And those on the screens don’t seem to care.

Consumption and distraction fuels the airwaves

And outrage over trivia, of course.

But the world keeps spinning

As societies rise and fall.

"Hand in glove

The sun shines out of our behinds"

Lyrics from another time

An era that I love

And a more innocent version of myself

Singing loudly (and lustily)

As the wind whips through our hair

From the open car windows.

Grace that sets the heart alight

A cunning wyrm

With malice in its heart.

Pulling you away from me.

The lone gypsy prowled the field.

Are they tears of grief or rage?

None are willing to ask them.

Bottle in hand, they prowl the meadows

As emotions fill the night air.

endlessly

in her snow globe.

The Queen of the Cirque

owning the ring.

A lonely dancer,

Flitting across the stage,

With none in the theatre

To see.

The duality of man

Burns dark and bright,

With a cutting edge

And a blunt force

The can sweep him

Through the shadows

Or light up a room

Like a pyre

Burning in celebration

Or mourning.

Scorn that cuts to the quick

Shorn of hubris by that disdainful look,

It snapped me back to those

Uncertain early teen insecurities.

Meanwhile…

She had no idea of my doubt

– and fear –

As she slid across the dance floor

(always expressive)

While moving to that dank beat..

A glorious morning spent with @becsmodels_ (IG) doing a little urbex photography.

With heat coursing from his lungs,

And tearing up his throat,

The searing ball of flame erupted into the night.

The dragon let loose a cry

Filled with passion and pain,

While we trembled in awe in the warmly humid light.

Normally, I get between 20-30 shots that I would want to immediately publish from any given session with a model. With

, I was hard pressed to reduce my "selects" down to 60. Such a great session!

Nor looks askance aimed toward them beneath

Muslin veils bleached while by the searing sun.

Zoe West - urbex in Buffalo, NY

Urbex with Zoe in Buffalo, NY

With acute clarity, I can see the way forward,

Life’s turns, whirls, twists and loops

Are minor distractions that won’t slow

Or bend me from my way.

The circus of life animates

The world around us with cacophony

And joy - a tumult that fills

The soundtrack of our days.

Ghostly, in my dream,

The succubus hovers above me.

Like a lead band around my chest

My breath is cut short.

Gulping for air

Clutching at the night,

Drowning in my sleep.

I feel the world darkening

Around me.

My voice, barely a whisper,

“help…”
