And Finally....but never ending...

I didn't have anything planned for the final day of

LeighSB Designs Dark Valentine

so I thought I'd make an 

Anniversary card for hubby.... 

 I couldn't resist the Barbara Anderson card stack

 from Joanna Sheen last month, the rich botanicals

are so me!

 and this set just said "Beautiful but toxic" to my

warped mind...

I added a paper doll, who just happened to have a matching gown

and gave her a pair of leathery *not so angelic* wings.

Hope you've enjoyed the blog hop as much as I have :D

And sometimes I do cute!

Day 4 of LeighSB's Dark Valentine's Hop

OPEN THE BOX!!!!

It may be day 3 of LeighSB's Dark Valentine Hop...

but it is also 

The 7th Annual Vampire's Day Soiree!!!

for this post I will share a secret....

"What's inside the box?"

is the question most asked about just about any box

anywhere ever :D

The box I have in mind has made 2 appearances in my 

life so far....

Firstly in a short story I wrote

"Shrinking Violet Unchained"

and more recently as an altered art piece

"Box of Junk"

but in neither case were the contents revealed...

so before I do...a little ditty...

A Vampyric Lullaby:

(commonly sung by Vampire Nannies)

A Tisket....A Tasket...

A Coffin or a Casket

Wherever you choose to make your bed

Be sure to never lose your Head.

The World's a danger from the start,

So mind your careful with your Heart.

It's just as precious as your Head.

If missing either you'll end up dead!

So flit and Fly my sweet young thing,

Above the clouds on silken wing.

Breaking Hearts if they but ask it...

I'll keep yours safe...

inside my Casket!

 need a closer look?

Well seriously....what did you think I would have hidden
in an old box....at Valentines...buried under the privet????
I do like to stay true to the old ways mwahahahaha...

Not as strange as you'd think...

For day 2 of LeighSB's Dark Valentine Hop

I thought I'd share the 

card I have made for Hubby this year....

Now some may find this imagery a bit "weird"

*to say the least* but hubby totally "gets it".

From the outside it would appear that a free spirit is being 

tied down and suppressed...

inside I wrote...

"To others we may appear an odd match,

but with my boundless imagination can you see the 

trouble I would be in by now?

Binding my heart to an old "stick in the mud"  like you

was the best spell I ever cast."

:D yes were are an odd couple indeed :D

Look back Darkly...

After the fabulous joy of sharing all things

Poe last month...

LeighSBDesigns is inviting us to play along with her again

How could one possibly resist.

I will be making something new,  but due to

illness(flu) I am running behind, so will begin this hop

by sharing a few passed joys...

An original poem (by moi) first posted way back

in 2014

HOW BEATS MY HEART?

How beats MY heart?....

Creeping round the neighbourhood.

Filled with passion, fire and blood,

This heart leads me to something good.

How beat THESE hearts?....

Shrouded by a longing deep,

I stand in shadows as you sleep

And darkness comes, our love to keep.

How beats YOUR heart?...

Do you feel nothing for our plight?

We are the Children of the Night

With whom you vow to ever fight.

How beats YOUR heart?

Compassion for my love you lack.

My heart breaks as you attack

with tarnished cross upon your back.

How beats YOUR heart?...

With righteousness, so harsh,so grand.

A wooden stake grasped in your hand...

His body turns to barren sand.....

NOW beats my heart!...

It screams in rage without his love,

And claws spring forth from velvet glove,

As I leap upon you from above...

How beats THIS heart?...

Here in my grip...

Which from your chest I gladly rip...

How beats MY heart Hunter?

......SILENTLY!!!!

"dark" specific blog called "Corner of my eye"*
