I am a fortress,
black, solid, unbroken basalt,
cloaked in shrouds of gray,
foreboding, menacing,
encroaching, solemn and threatening,
I am a testament,
to those who built me,
caused me, shaped me,
and built me to stay,
to the years that had been my refinement,
not merely my past,
Those who dwell inside me,
by force, by habit, or for mere safety,
must calculate, must wait, and never sway,
must not only hold my walls,
but also believe in them, mend them,
and shore them,
You,
must walk my labyrinthine paths,
must guard my gates,
and at the ready array,
must keep the vigil, watch the fields,
and hold no lie,
only then, might the inner hearth be revealed,
a warm fire will be lit,
you will find a chair that would fit,
and in there you would reside,
ultimately hide,
and in you this mighty fortress would confide.

All Designs , writings and illustrations or pictures are created by me,unless clearly specified otherwise, most of this stuff is hardly what you may call personal, in a way they are a portrait of how i see daily life, and what goes on in my head, which on the other hand make them quite intimate, some could call this some sort of an exhibition for my combined creative media, i personally think of it as a book. I am sometimes labeled as "morbid", you have been warned!
