Turn to dust.
Pangs of longing, thoughts to lose,
dissipates to haunted muse.
Jointly you still leave a scar,
penumbras in my life so far.
Standing just out of my reach,
with words of love and songs to teach.
Pursue my heart, my mind appease.
Then disappear on winters breeze.
Creative sucked with sated lust,
you say goodbye. I turn to dust.

Reowr! Penumbras…now that’s not a word you see every day! Very beautifully written!
Thank you Cubby, I have been wanting to use it for ages having read it in a book a while ago, as you do lol 🙂
Great photo, love the background effects.
Thank you very much, I did a long exposure here to try and make it just a little bit ‘ghosty’ but kept it long enough so it didn’t disappear too much.
amazing words and a great shot!
Thank you so much for your very kind compliment. It means a lot. 🙂
My pleasure 🙂
I love your writing style. The image is slightly haunting, more so if you consider the writing. I like!
Thank you very much indeed. 🙂 I am trying to improve my writing, I try to keep it simple because well.. I am a bit of a simple girl myself ha.
Almost felt as if i was reading Marvell here – just more succinct. I love your photography btw.
The comic? lol! Thank you very much indeed for your lovely words as always x
What cheek! (I’ll get my hat.)
hahah! I had a good model.
Wow – this is incredibly powerful!
Great picture – I like how you framed your objects very much.
Thank you, I took it to go with the verse really, when usually I do it the other way around, take a photograph and then try and write something that it makes me feel or think of, so this was a bit of a first for me. 🙂
Lovely photograph-I really like the composition and lighting here-
Thank you kindly 🙂
Great picture! Goes well with the verse 🙂
Powerful, stripped-down emotion; done so well. Thanks.
