(Companion poetry) From here I can hear under the blue. The sighing voice of the forest as it’s brushed by the hand of a windy lover. Welling up, I heave just the same, as your lunar heart lets down it’s atramentous and argent gossamer to billow all around. I reach out to caress loose celestial strands dipping through the trees. A string of which only my deepest crimsons hear the sound. I gently sink as dark lulling clouds well up and swirl in, swallowing the silver. From here I can hear under the blue. I think the insects are starting, I think the insects are starting to sing... About you.

(Companion poetry) ll. Lapul Lazulia A lolling colossus of light… Pouring itself over a stillness softly sleeping Deep forested life cradled by canopy and caressed by sighing ether Lull as a taciturn tower blooms before the gaze of the green Born of a dream stirring just behind the perception of pause Lucent fingers of a lambent hand Brush through the flora that clings the spire Abstract arms silently splay through looming arcades and ringing hanging gardens Strips of lonely light billow like sheer Casement curtains kissed by the sighs of a forest spirit Fain to graze a floating garden bed The central sleeping ground of the infinite Auric air hangs as heavy as the heart Save for the glint of a thousand amber freckles and the cling of mosaic moss and blossom Flesh of dancing mud and lapis Cascades at the gleaming touch Emerald blossom eyes and florid heat bloom Hair like flowing blood Dances with pearled sighs heaved All are textures smeared and swirling Underneath ripples that dissipate gleam into glint and turn the surface floriferous Stillness drinks deep and earthly and arboreal limbs weep slow As the impression swims A lolling colossus of light You spoke to me and said…

(Companion poetry) I've been so lost, I've been so sunken. Dreaming and drowning in a silken sea. Gazing at the stars that twist aloft a dark, faintly purple veil of dreams. I long to quiver, I long to dissipate. Swirling in an alluring aether carried by a wind so sweet. Far, far away from this existence so indelicate. Such transcendence could only be my return, to your world of such beauty. Oh and if it were so aligned, I could live never longing to die. Alas… From way out here I sense a gleaming. I wonder, if you can see me...

[this will be something of a living document for a little while, as it tragically still stands somewhat unfinished. as such; if you pay any amount for it, and leave an email, I will personally email you any updated files for free]
