Rina and Lucia

The sunset is coming - glorious, flooding through the clouds and magnificent in its golden blaze. From high above the sun takes a slow and graceful dive into the ocean, knowing that the world is watching, admiring, snapping photographs, sharing a kiss, a moment. If you can’t see it, allow its genius beauty embrace you, stop and welcome its every essence. With you, the world pauses, waiting for the sun to set, and takes a warm golden breath, feels a dazzling flush burning your cheeks and brows. The very sun that is touching you so tenderly, is here with me, and everything else that was once dear to you.

Echoes from the past

Diana and Anka
August 2001

Late august chills through my spine
And today I feel I should be somewhere else
There by your side
Sharing your laughter
Melting in your presence
And those memories
That I try to hold close
Get clouded in the smoke
Burnt from the spite of a tarnished friendship


Alexandra and Pavel

April 2001

My secret and not so secret obsession. He is a puzzle I can't seem to solve, while others try to ignore it and not bother with something that strange.

Pavel lives in many different parallels so you can never see him as a whole, he only allows just one piece. I could really lose myself around him. And as he playfully hinted in one way or another, I floated from one of his moments of clarity to another, until his delirium inhaled me into an entirely new perspective of the world.

I burned before him, never wining one game.


Alexandra and Daniel
January 99

Like an emerald,
Radiant and warm
You never fade away
Even among the hues of autumn

Like a soaring bird
You struggle through thunder and rain
To reach your goal

Like an ocean
You reflect life in your clear waters
So gracefully placid

Like a silk scarf
You seep through my fingers
And tear away out of the opened window
Towards that night that beckons you
With glittering stars
And moonlight caressing your skin

Like a gentle breath
Stolen from me in my dream

Alexandra & Pavel

Nights fell so quickly at this time of the year and only now I started to pay attention to things coming and going from my life. I was watching the snow glisten in the street light as it idly fell to the ground, enveloping everything in a thin layer of white innocence. Yes, I sound pathetic and yes, there was something innocent about the snow. It disappears before it gets too old, before its seen too much. It reminds me of her back then, always wanting to go before she was in too deep, always looking for a way to untarnish herself. At 18 she sparkled so bright, it was obvious she would burn too quickly, but who am I to say anything now? "Its better to burn, then to fade away, " she said once, and now I was fading away. I've been fading away for the past 8 years and she's been one constant Wednesday - the day I'm still feel my dreams.
