Ice pterodactyls,
fractals frozen through,
rendered from the heavens,
coloring hell blue.

They fell while I slept,
while I dreamt of just you,
you, and your lips,
seductive, yet true.

An illusion, a dream
a dream of perfections,
tattooed in warm lips,
answering wakes lost lover affections.

Intimate reflections,
where we snuggled and held each other warm.
We hugged and we huddled,
we cuddled in one form.

Surrender! Titan snowflakes!
So that I may meet her again.
love me, lavish me, kill me
below nights frostbitten skin.

This piece is titled “Shisa” from my Inkblot design series. Shisa or Shiisaa (Okinawan: siisaa) is a traditional Ryukyuan decoration, often found in pairs, resembling a cross between a lion and a dog. Many people put a pair of Shisa on their rooftops or flanking the gates to their houses. Shisa are wards, believed to protect from various evils. When found in pairs, the shisa on the right traditionally has an open mouth, and the one on the left, a closed mouth.
