Stella

No matter how things were left between us, the phantom of Stella Alfieri will always linger in a quiet, protected place in my heart.

Falling

Visions of snowfall reverie, Dancing gaily on your hitched breath, Caught on wet eyelashes, Dyed a red wine-dark, Smeared like your mascara, Falling as black snow.
