"It isn't the lock and key and waves that crash which encompasses lovemaking. The crux is eyes and hands, what they see and where they go. Those are the seat of memories, how we are touched, and looking that feeds and stays. When fingers mold around a hip and eyes meet and say everything in silence"

"I'm running out of streets to stroll down in a life metropolis. They say cities are where you find the polish that the country lacks. I know the difference between rhinestones and kindness. Home and a living space are never the same thing. Come down to the desert and sample the wisdom of thirst."

"My sin is not being able to look bemused when life acts exactly how you would expect. Whether for good or ill, surprise and confusion is a rarity on my features. Perhaps my soul really is ancient enough to have seen it all. I don't roll with punches so much as welcome them back again." #emoetry

Ingrid Pitt by Basil Gogos.

I'm going to make the sky remember me before I crumble to dust.

"The Kirkyard was a sea of falling snowflakes and devoid of the noise of parishioners. Disorderly rows of tombstones, showing their age in weathered inscriptions. One creature stalks the aisles, the Church Grimm. Swift, and unseen until those who wish the dead harm arrive. Then woe comes for them."

Make sure you eat and hydrate friends.

Be the reason, not the excuse.

On this day in Horror History, LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT was released in 1927.

There's a lot of life to live past survival.

"Dear beloved Creature. Take from me my bones and build a house we string with the light of your heart. A stone hearth for us lay beside and make geometry of our arms and legs. Home was the feeling before it was a place. Like our passion was smoke before the inferno. Our giving is freedom not lost"

Poppies and dandelions

"Oh my, I missed the rapture that never happened. Pardon me friends, I was up on the mountain brewing potions with kitchen witches. Reciting prayers from ancient tongues that the world lost to science. I fear no tomorrow. Today is scary enough. Not all that is new is progress. Wisdom is older still"

"I see an opus in your thighs as they slide together. Anagrams of your teasing smile before you gasp. Perspective silence in your eyes locked on mine as you realize what you signed up for. It's collision physics and the matter of skin drenched in souls. You bring the riot, and I provide the calm."

"It is said that #suave is pretty golden words and a devilish grin that invites. Impeccable grooming and a wardrobe to make the pulse race. Not in my eyes. It is eyes that know instead of wondering. Hands that don't shake until the final act. A steadfast will that cradles you like a set of arms can"

"Let us exchange lace for spider webs and sway on a bed of grave moss. There is more heat in the cold ground than your eyes would tell you. Darker passions to taste, a skybox littered with a heady fog. To be haunted is a love eternal. You have only to look beneath the dust of my heart tomb and see."

"Come down from your skyward optimism and dither with me here in the gutter. Your times required some balance, and I came calling. The old book on the shelf you had to blow the dust off of. That's me. Victorian seance vibes with cravat caresses and enough stubble to make you merry sigh." #emoetry

"I'm a studious child sometimes, seeking my own approval. With all my faults on display under stadium lights. I see the twisted in the beautiful along with the timeless in the fleeting glimpses snatched in your steady silence. The fields of my musings have thus far escaped a harvest."

"Much and more exists between the infinite and the deities. Mortals and paradise. Hell and a homestead. Demons with angelic faces and brimstone grins. A crown does not always come from on high. Perdition is the friend who tells you the truth. Dark wings and black curtains are my earned bed of nails"

"Claire De Lune saves me once more."

"I build myself up from the dirt. The aesthetic comes after the full-voiced acceptance of the values. You make the man before adding the clothes. Cloaked in virtues that are courtly in the way of a bloodstained knight reciting the romantic poets. Drunk on truth and beauty."

"We are the music without sound. The promise, peace, and passion that cannot be put into something as simple as words."

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: Sevendust Hail the Villain Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Afroman Celldweller

"The best stories are understood in silence. Seen in the shine of a gaze, the movement at the corners of a mouth, the tension in a jaw and shoulders. Or the lack."

"I am an alchemist on a quest to learn how to turn science back into magic. Forgetting that they are the same depending on the time of day. You cannot lead me astray when I asked to be here. My soul knows the way to an oubliette that doesn't exist. I've read the portents that are avarice made false"

"My mind is a state of flippant rest and chaotic slumber. A creature testing out their limbs as if for the first time. I owe no one any penance beyond myself. My sins are self-inflicted as our my sensual dance steps. The cards of fate are the wallpaper to my hidden bower. Tempting me to believe."

"Mine is the canvas full of half completed threads, unfinished tragic beauty. Button eyes without the stuffing. A project piece until the right one came calling. Humble stitching transforms into embroidery with a loving hand. They took the sketch of me and showed me that I could become art to love."

"In your eyes, I understand the meaning of contentment. That comfortable weight of your head on my chest. The feel of your arm across me and the grip on my side, fingertips making circles. No music is needed except the noise of your rhythmic breathing as you drift off to dreamland. Safe together."

"The winds blow snow and settle the chill into your bones. My thoughts are filled with family traditions. Cooking smells and cackling coming from the kitchen. Carols are playing out of season. I'm a man for basic pleasures that make the day worth getting up for. Oceans of calm between the lightning"
