beauty beauty beauty I want to wrap my legs around you




On Hedonism

Beauty makes me hopeless. I don't care anymore I just want
to get away. When I look at the city of Paris I long to wrap
my legs around it. When I watch you dancing there is a
heartless immensity like a sailor in a dead-calm sea. Desires
as round as peaches bloom in me all night, I no longer gather
what falls.

  1. Peaches are 2lbs to the dollar at Jons.

    Sometimes I think you may be as crazy as I.

  2. No, I am much crazier than you.

    But are you making fun of my blog posting? Really? REALLY?

    Get some peaches and eat them with whipped cream!
