Losing Face

War is terrorism with a bigger budget.

Braced vs. Embraced

My Pussy

Assertive, nuanced and aesthetically pleasing.

Silken, gleaming hair and a purr that reverberates the room.

Free from ambiguity, without evasion or compromise, when delivering emotions

Without concealment or deception and reliably honest in expressing wishes..

A sight I prize; he repairs emotional snares and shares a stare in your eyes.
