Presenting...

Press play for an exclusive preview of my own work, the unreleased In Your Heart

In Your Heart

Oh love wake up, talk back, hold on
I know your ways, the hands of Eve
Can feel them reigning down on me

And I'll wake up in your heart
I will wake up in your heart

I know you'll well for these sad eyes
I know you'll run back
Save me now, sail my love, sail your heart in mine

In your heart (I can hold you)
In your heart (I can have you)
In your heart (I can feel you)

Poor love wait up, hold me I want you
I know your hands, the way you breath
Can feel you reaching out for me

When I can't wake up in your arms
I will wake up in your heart

I know you well, I know your eyes
I know you'll run back
Save me now, sail my love, sail your heart in mine

In your heart (I can hold you)
In your heart (I can have you)
In your heart (I can feel you)

Voluptas Mors

With Voluptas Mors (Voluptuous Death - 1951), Salvador Dali, in collaboration with photographer Philippe Halsman created a portrait of Dalí posing beside a giant skull, a tableau vivant (or “living picture”) comprising seven female models. Halsman and Dali took three hours to arrange the the tableau from an original sketch by Dali.

"I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject...

rather does the person grow to look like his portrait."

Happiness... just an illusion?

Wesley was raised in California and took up music at age four, relearning to play the guitar and ukulele after losing all but the thumb and one finger on his left hand... he contributed the yodeling to the "Silly Song" in Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Marilyn started acting in motion pictures with Shirley Temple at the age of ten 10. She survives Wesley, who died in 2003.

There's no shame in loving me baby

But am I worth saving?

Am I?

Dress me good, like it's Sunday Baby

Walk me slow, down the road

I could pray to a neon Jesus

But I'm no believer

Am I?

Dress me good, like it's Sunday Baby

Walk me slow, down the road

Dress me good, like it's Sunday Baby

Walk me slow, down the road

Dress me good, in your eyes

Dress me good, in your eyes
