I'm happiest when most away
I can bear my soul from its home of clay
On a windy night when the moon is bright
And the eye can wander through worlds of light--
When I am not and none beside--
Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky--
But only spirit wandering wide
Through infinite immensity.
- Emily Bronte, "I'm happiest when most away"


Phantasmagoria: noun. A sequence of real or imaginary images like that seen in a dream.


Ongoing works:

Scenes from a Coffee Shop; my newest writing project penning down whatever comes to mind while sitting in a cafe.
When Life Gives You Pens; a collection of life inspired haikus - will never really be truly finished.
This Little Boy; a collection of satirical nursery rhymes.

Feel free to wander around and check out some of my older pieces as well, but personally I think the more recently written/updated, the better written it is.

All reviews mean a lot to me; thank you immensely for your time and words.

(Because I can't make up my mind, previously I've also been known as: xxopticaldelusions, GirlwithGlasses.)
