Lingering Despair.

Open eyes see nothing

Life fails her everyday

Every moment is filled with regret

She closes her eyes and sees peace

The stars beneath her skin

still into dark corners

desire, hunger

demand flight

but somehow it asphyxiates

into stillness

grappling between memories 

and dreams

With her days spent in despair

her eyes gazing out

with a wretched soul,

she sits still with only a sigh to spare

Pieces of three different poems, by each of us, edited together to create one.

This look was inspired by the photography of Lara Jade - who is a freakin' genius - we only recently discovered her because of someone we know, let's call her JM. If you go on Book II - second photograph, of her portfolio on her website, you will see the resemblance - after that it kind of took it's own life and this is what we have.

The title of this post is the title of A's blog, it seemed fitting for this post so we used it.

Peace

Let me go.

We were actually supposed to do a more flirty look today, with flowers and butterflies and pretty girly things. But the weather was just so melancholy, this look was more suited to the weather and our mood. We love the title for this post because it's from a song by Phantogram, which A found on We Are Hunted, which is a great place to find new sound and emerging artists.

The Pixie and The Wannabe

The Pixie emerges.

She frolics around in the midst of a street full of cars, unaware of the adversity that awaits her.

The Wannabe discreetly approaches the Pixie.

The Pixie, still unaware of The Wannabe's intentions, danced around and waved her magic wand as an antidote to ease everyone's pain.

How long could the kind-hearted Pixie be safe?  She was being kidnapped by The Wannabe, who wanted her magical powers.

The Wannabe sprinkled gold dust all over the Pixie and intoxicated her.

She threw her in a car's trunk.

Poor Pixie was squished in the trunk and left alone in the dungeon where she couldn't be seen or heard by anyone.

She wakes up in a haze and tries to open her eyes.  She gets flashes of what happened to her earlier...the gold dust...the person...intoxication...but now she had regained her senses.  

After realizing the gold dust intoxication had worn off, the Pixie makes a great escape from the dungeon and goes on to do what she does best...spread the magic!
