Freedom conjured.The belle has spoken about the delicate voice that expresses love in all it's glory

About Me

Poet, painter, dancer, dj of the personal jukebox and entrepeneur.Whichever decade you find this band, their musical mastery is always shimmering from within. My current cartoon fix, Home Movies. The labours of love. The sweet majesty of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Home Movies-Dwayne's got skills. Ahhhhhhhh Patti and the Group in Stockholm Sweden circa 76. Ever present sex appeal courtesy of the Jesus and Mary Chain. This Gang always brings Four to the floor. Home Movies-Jason's candy addiction The saccharine noodling of KC and SY. Eroticism encased in a Bjorkbot. Take me to the Darklands Jesus. Skinny Puppy kills first so you don't have to feel so bad. Norwegian woods dance with Royksopp. To dreams and the watery waves of Dif Juz. Good night Baby Bird.

My Interests

Meatballs (with cream), Tofuheads (who eat meat), Tipsies (who have somewhere to go the next day), Scamps (with jobs) and O.G.'s (who keep it real).

"Back in the Red"

Dizzy with wanting, silent aspirations clung to my thighs. I sighed. Was it fortuitous that our eyes alighted then shyly glanced away? Promises unbroken. Lips starving, breath coyly teasing still unto...

The ardent moon and the trifling sun

So many mushroom caps in black, blue and green, bobbing and weaving, bobbing and weaving through the eddying swells, running rivulets down 4th Street.
