Their Story

Oh, phoenix boy. Your story is fuelled by smoke and words, feasting on dehydrated love. Stolen gasps sprout from your spine stretched to the rings of Saturn. He wears his skin all back to front. Oh, sparrow girl. Your story is awkwardly stitched together, stewing in sordid thoughts. You are violent serenity in a wisp of a girl dancing through the nighttime sea. She wears her bones all inside out Buried beneath her sparrow skin and his phoenix flames it lies. Woven from grains of sand, These bruises are constellations. Delighted in catatonic embrace. So the phoenix boy and the

Scorpius

sometimes, i wake up with bits of Orion still stuck between my teeth. & i grin, remembering the face of every lover i’ve managed unscathed, to crawl out from underneath. ‘ad astra’ inked into ankle bones like little wings, Pluto’s underworld ripe, coursing through my veins: i stake claim to clavicles. devouring shivers between the constellations of tongues & weak limbs, i get off on all the ways mere mortals beg me to sacrifice them to the heavens.

reasons to love a shy girl

i. men fear strong women, but she's far from strong. this wisp of a girl doesn't even need a hurricane to fall apart. she'd glued and re-glued, old bonds wearing thin, but if you ask politely, she'll let you touch her scars. ii. her lips are fettered in rusted chains. you'd need a crowbar to pry up her whispered secrets. you are not worthy to hear her voice just as she is not worthy to give it to you. she told me everything she knows, and i shut it away, kept it safe. i tied the threads into double knots just to make sure they wouldn't curl away from me, twisted up like a dead spider's legs. iii. she is hewn from shadow, woven from grains o

Resolution Diary

2007 Resolution: Make first million after starting own business. Progress: :bulletblack: Applied for a loan. Declined due to excessive account activity. Note: Constant purchasing of rare (albeit mint) wicker chairs is not conducive to bank balance. Wife insistent on selling wicker chairs to find money to start business. :bulletblack: Bought new donut recipe book. Learnt how to make category hard donut, 'Diamond Swizzler'. Delma loves them. :bulletblack: James offered to lend the money if he can become a business partner. Potential. :bulletblack: First million still a long way off. Wife still nagging. :bulletblack: Spent savings on replacing

dirty pretty poems

1. Cold tea-cups jumped off the table when I opened my eyes this morning. They must not like the sound of my eyelashes crashing into eachother and must know how sometimes oxygen feels too far from our sinking lungs. 2. When my hipbones became loose hinges, half sliced off and a sore-thumb view, it did not occur to me that I was ill, just a little bit below the floorboards with the taps of people walking above, nobody ever knows when I am there. 3. I believe that wine bottles mean something different for everyone and for me it is not just a delightfully fruity drink to sip with friends, it is a two pm lecture I cannot build u

Long time no post! First of all I am SO glad we can now change our dA names if we have premium membership! Goodbye awful old name and hello real name! So whats new? I have handed in my final piece of University work EVER. Scary huh? Exhibition opens on the 1st of June at University of Wales, Newport's new City Centre Campus.

So I am back at home for the Christmas holidays, and WOW what a semester it has been! I am so sorry I haven't been so active recently, but I hope you all like my new images :) So I think this is something everyone should do. What are your top 20 moments of 2011 (in no particular order?) 1. Getting a job at the Student Union bar. I literally love working there 2. Blagging my way into photographing EVERYTHING 3. Remembering to do some silly photoshoots along the way. Check out this video of one shoot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouAoxWJaGO0 4. Getting stupidly drunk and saying "I'm sorry I'm so rapey" to the guy I like, then proceeding

Wow, I hadn't looked at your stuff in a spell. Suddenly found this massive hoard of stuff. Like a treasure trove. It's looking really good. Can't wait to have a proper look through.
