{Rome in gold} poem x e.l. jayne
{Rome in gold} the peach sorbet sunset, paints Rome in gold. life is a dream; and like all dreamers i passed through my memory. this is where you go when you’re exiled. back to that reverie of a summer in Italy, i think i might live forever. —e.l. jayne
‘devoid of anyone of both an intellect and a heart’

{summon} poem x e.l. jayne
{summon} my deepest wounds, summon me to write. my heartache, afflictions, adversity, no matter how warranted or distorted, if I can just write them down, see them for what they really are, tiny scribbles on repurposed foliage, maybe I can conquer these self-made conspiracies. –e.l. jayne

{fruitless} poem x e.l. jayne
{fruitless} to have it all, or to have nothing; a land of barrenness and broken hearts lies between. the devil smiles as you discard your art, where would you be, if you never surmised the courage to start? –e.l. jayne
{forged in flames} poem x e.l. jayne
{forged in flames} this is where the story begins, where the mountains kiss the sky, and creatures of folklore dance beneath the moonlight, forged in flames, they behave as if they are enough, just walking around and enjoying themselves. they were made of peace, and only sought to find more peace. lived, loved, and left…
