Bag Lady #1

This is what my dream handbag and contents would look like, the kind of girl that just has 'it'... if that exists?

Let me know what to put next, I'd love to make some more inspired bag collages ✾❦❤︎✰✪✤❧

Bones Oblivion

Let the heavy rest on my collarbone

Rib to wrist the bones stand the strain

I don't want oblivion, and power makes a dangerous friend

I just seek a truth that keeps me safe

I'm outside your stratosphere

Faithful

Floating

Flying

Born and dying

Grotesque

Creature

You want to meet her

And it's more than anyone could take

Giving it all

Up

What's that feel like

Love?

Le Ultime Vestali, scanned from Vogue Italia March 1998 couture supplement. This image really speaks to the flame in my heart, such a passionate piece of work. One can imagine Phantom of the Opera-esque music, climactic, euphoric.

Urdhva Mukha Svanasana in the fire, a girl is contorted. Breaking the mold on her sheltered heart, and in a moment of white light, yellow heat, red glory, heart and hot air are one. Backbend by the fire when you can girls, it feeds the child in us.

Chaser

Talking to you is like throwing back a chaser,

You lace the sweet I’m craving with a casual sting.

I wouldn’t follow you to a foreign country

But when you’re starved of love,

Need contaminates the skin.

You raised me overdosed on promises

They found me lying on the floor.

Reaching for the keys

and they said

“She wanted to see the world”.

But my body saw the future,

Frail bones made friends with time,

I put away my poison

Empty shot glass, lonely crime.

I’ll be the sheet cake

sat plain and proud

With purple letters 

that spell me out

A deer in the garden

Or a tangerine moon

Pleasant surprises

I think of you

Gold light, Smokers delight

Eve, on the porch,

Cigarettes in hand,

She takes the role of movie star

And makes the myth woman.

My girl, barely 18

With her brazen bra exposed,

Lights another one for the camera,

Sultry eyes closed.

And she’s alien to me,

My fresh eyes unfamiliar,

Yet I smell the scent so sweet

And sap rose,

Her soul is soft vermillion.

I know her yet I don’t,

My friend more or less?

I cannot place this woman girl,

She makes my head a mess.

She’s a universal feeling,

But empty nonetheless,

And as I search for reasoning,

the further I regress.

But I want not for answers,

For she’ll return again,

The smoke will linger on her skin,

My strange little actress friend.
