Carpe Noctem
by SIXPEGSI love the night, especially quiet ones like tonight. It is so still that I can almost hear the dialogues I have with myself in my head. Carpe noctem.

And I’m letting you.
by SIXPEGSCigarettes and whisky The perfect concoction for the keeping the lonely at bay The lady sways to the infectious melody as the jazz band plays Savouring the make-believe world her closed eyes brings her to With every inhale, she throws her head back She ruffles her hair on her face and sniffs the remnants on her fingers Scents always have a way of bringing...
