We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
And when I wanted more, you flew away.
Now, if I want to talk, I find a wall
Concrete around me, knowing that today
Will bring me worries and thoughts I won’t recall.
If I just want to speak, I cannot start
A proper conversation. And I just wait
For you to talk. But we are so apart
That waiting is a spice I taste, like hate.
Recalling the blithe moments of light laughter
I walk the same old tracks we walked back then.
Sometimes I feel the same, but it’s an after
Thought, because I am entangled once again.
“Ev’rything seems to bring…”, too well I knew the lines
My eyes are aged and tired, the mirror sees the signs.

Ilka interviewt Angelina Jolie. Auf dosionair.de zeigt sich die Journalistin von ihrer kreativen Seite.
By Ryan Johnston-
Well you got away from here
From where the sun rises the same
Just like it did, last year
Well, you got away from me
And all the evil things
That I know, I just had to be
Standing in the hallway
Watch you get ready for the day
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know, that I’m ready for you
Mortuary parking lots, and purple backdrops
Empty notebook page, Like a plain white gauze
My heart inside my hand, this pen is a just an I.V.
That someone pulled out
You say you understand me, more than I think
That one day I’ll know, that this just had to be
You say you love me, but you just have to leave
And you know someday, I’ll do great things
When you float around my eyes
The perfect mixture of vapour and air
And I’m burning alive, inside
I know, that I’m already there
Yeah, I’m already there
You say you understand me, more than I think
And know one knows you, better than me
You say you love me, but you just need something new
And you know one day. I’ll find someone much better than you
Standing in the empty hallway
Those times are still there, somewhere
The vapour burned itself into thin air
And you start your day, someplace else
Empty journals fill,
When the memories you kill, bleed out
A crime scene, nobody ever found
We turn ourselves in, with the words we let out
Or hide behind the meaning, to cover up our tracks
Either way, the feeling,
It just stains

Jaynee Bowker reads during the Uncanny Senior Symposium for Literature Majors was held in the Old Main Lincoln Room on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020.
Since they needed the light, they chased whales.
They went whale hunting when the world was new
Fighting against the sun, riding the gales,
Leaving the docks with poorly woven sails.
So many were the seaways they went through:
Since they needed the light, they chased whales.
They ran after the giant fishes’ tails
And many men were lost among the crew
Fighting against the sun, riding the gales.
They wrote the stories and we red the tales
Of sailors maimed and drowned in the slough:
Since they needed the light, they chased whales.
In ancient times a leviathan so pale
Became a legend, and his name we knew.
Since they needed the light, they chased whales
Fighting against the sun, riding the gales.
(Villanelle by SiRiChandra)
My everyday necklace with a whale tail.
The other one is a turquoise stone.

Sitting on this same bench, facing the sea
You saw me knee deep in tears, as if
I was fighting my childhood and my age
And struggling against myself.
You saw me knee deep in tears, as if
I was drowning, again, because of you
And struggling against myself:
Furiously, I reached for the shore.
I was drowning again, because of you:
The salt was burning, reddening the scars.
Furiously, I reached for the shore
Was a live blade under every step I took.
The salt was burning, reddening the scars
Inside your chest. The steady beating drum
Was a live blade: under every step I took
Slowly crushed the coil.
Inside your chest the steady beating drum
Kept beating pace by pace, ignoring me.
Slowly crushed the coil
And every wave was harmful.
Kept beating pace by pace, ignoring me,
The sea, under the darkest autumn sky
And every wave was harmful
Sitting on this same bench, facing the sea.
(Pantoum by SiRiChandra)
May your sandwich be a masterpiece of culinary balance with each ingredient singing in harmony. May the bread embrace the fillings with love, keeping every bite intact and delicious
Bless this sandwich with the freshness of its contents and the warmth of the hands that made it.
