You approach me
with your belt and a glint
in your eye.
You think you’re scary,
but I try not to smile.

With her other hand, she also holds her pants up. He’s allowing her use of his belt, and she has a knife to shorten the belt since it’s way too long for her. See, all very innocent and sweet. 🙂

Ha! You’ve been writing some lovely, dark works, lately. Perhaps I should also mind my steps when I visit your blog! 😉
Incidentally, I’ll be posting a poem to link to your fantastic post, “The Blue Room”, next Wednesday.

Oooh….I like this one! Very devilishly dark. It’s fun to see what people are into. I’m not saying this is you lol. I just mean people in general or even characters.
Souls are very intriguing.

I love the second photo very much. This scenario reminds me of a conversation I had earlier today. The best way to disarm an opponent is to let them think they have the upper hand. The secret is to not look threatening, imposing or scary at all.
