The Muse
The techniques of art ignore the painted lady sorrow spills over The senryu spills from the accounts I have read, of models used in a premiere art institution. Needy women are paid a paltry sum per day, and they pose nude to run their kitchen. I am not sure if this should be mentioned … Continue reading The Muse
Darkness in the Universe
The black attire, the smoldering eyes and the raven hair gives her a phantasmagoric appearance. She appears to have emerged from the Dark Ages.

Highly intelligent investigative minds jig the kaleidoscope, loving every moment, negating scepticism, and overrule puerile minds.

Calendars with legs
I hate celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. It reminds me of the years passing by, and unachieved goals and targets. I hear that the Government plans to shift the commencement of the financial year from April to January.
