INKtober2016 | Day 10-14 | Pensive

she interlaced her tragedies with the fabric of her gown, she weaved her dysphoric retentions in the tangles of her hair, she sewed her nightmares in the dermis of her skin, she was enlaced in her pensive melancholy. she cosied in the intimate embrace of her sorrows. she was the dark seabed, to where sunlight fails […]

INKtober2016 | Day 7, 8, 9 | Inflammable

On some days, she garners too much fire in her belly that could ignite the phosphorous in her bones.

INKtober2016 | Day 1: Tranquility at the edge

the tranquility of waters, at the edge of the river, deceivingly attractive in sight, a transcendent beauty. however, her torrid soul, timid, cautious about the ruffles; beneath the harmless wavelets, recognizes the unusual composure. the river unintentionally reflects; her idiosyncrasy. the journey of waters could have been; as grappling as the wrestling of her soul.
