Sometimes my mind wanders to explore things I should or shouldn't, would or wouldn't, could or couldn't. This one is pretty straight forward and doesn't need a caption. Silk, satin Lingerie, lace Skintight lyra Indentations in all the right places. Curvature Curvaceous creatures Firm formations Arches of suggestion Sensual extensions.

Remarkable meets fascinating A journey of two souls in parallel Making decisions that bend the nature of their paths Causing it to coincide with the ways of another Constantly flowing forward.   Rivers from the mountain drifting its way in its course Returning to its route and alternating in between logic and rationale Sliding through intersections of intense emotions Weaving amongst serendipitous, frivolous memories Falling into natural cascades formed over thousands of years of formations.   Where fresh becomes salt What was bland finds tastes in life? Flavours of insignificant minerals that come together to create an ocean of messianic zeal A solution to the desires of longing and wanting A desire that...
