Little Chilli.

Baileys

The bottle in her hand was black, the label emblazoned with red and gold. She tilted back her head to take a swig, Hair sliding off her shoulders to expose Her slender neck to the world.

Black and White: The Girl At The Piano

It was a black and white landscape. Ebony fingernails, ivory keys. Her hands on the piano were rough and unpolished, the skin pale and faint in the soft afternoon light.

Black and White: The Letter

It was a black and white landscape. Ebony ink, ivory parchment. Her hand on the quill was slender and elegant, the skin pale and smooth.

Black and White:The Avenue

It was a black and white landscape. Black dress, white skin.

Expressionless

The smooth skin of the lake Ripples with every breeze that strokes it. Beside me, you stand Expressionless Gazing out on the icy water. I take your hand and tuck it into mine.

Lovesick

Staring back at me, your face is cold. It shows none of the warmth that I know mine holds.

Steps leading down to the river Down to the water where it rushes, Rushes over rocks smoother Than his smile. Her feet on the stones were light, Bare toes brushing the hewn Stone.

The Flickering Streetlight

Walking home with a heart as heavy As my feet on the wet tarmac. Above my head, the streetlamps light the afternoon Competing with the dying sun to light my way.

Shades of the Horizon

It was a black and white landscape. Black waves brushing the silent beach Where white sand curled around my numb feet. That was the night we chased each other with the waves

There Was Nothing

There was nothing But the relentless rain Dragging mascara tears down my cheeks There was nothing But the empty street Stretching away from my still feet There was nothing
