#Libertine that’s a big fancy word and I think I know what it means. It means I got no leash. I drink, I screw, and I laugh at your rules. I’m not evil - just honest about what I want. And if you don’t like it, you can kiss my ass.

Well, yes, you can call me a #libertine. I’m a gentleman who has elevated indulgence to an art form. I reject the vulgarity of restraint, preferring wit, beauty, and sensation to the dull sermon of virtue.

the ghost of combustion,
the echo of form

once composed of
the remnants of burning stars
my body will someday be #ash

#ash is what remains
when our days are done

ash is the end of the body,
but not the end of love

Everything is enchanted, and enchanting - the pyre, the fire, the #ashes. But we, distracted kings, don’t think to look.

No, kind of spooky. Like a softer less intense version of a Stephen King inspired graphic. The wave seems to be an invitation to ????!

This one has a feel about it that’s hard to identify.

What you see here is not just a #clash between contrasting personalities. It is also a merging, a duet, between two of the world‘s greatest geniuses – Cervantes and Picasso.

3 AM, the mind’s need for poetry #clashes with the body’s need for rest, and in this case, the body prevails – good night.

The #clash of ideas and the clash of generations:

“You’re tearing me apart! You say one thing, he says another, and everybody changes back again!”

When Truth and Belief #clash, some turn away, others dig deeper.

And some seek the advice of a trusted friend.
