A fragile rose surviving
The changing seasons

Forever in time
Roses bloom and roses fade.
Love is eternal.

Victoria writes 9/25

Gold Star! A heart in your hands
Throbs with desire, passion, love.
Handle it with care.
and...
My arms around you,
My cunt hot, wet and throbbing,
My thighs spread for you.

Could never shine as brightly
To make my heart grow

Dark clouds knit like angry brows.
Soon come evening storms.

Seashell boy has found a home
Now, for the purpose.

First to land, first to dry up
Lonely, friendless job

Your East Hampton friends,
waiting for tables up front,
suffer blurred vision.
