Yours Truly...Conman - A state secret? No, not at all. Not even a fascination. Just a part of the name of the blog. :-)

Samudraa, the woman - :-)

The Arbit Council - Thanks. So are you going for it?

gulnaz, jaded, transience - Thanks but not yet a year. August 19 is the date for that. :-)

Poems and Writings - Thanks!

iamnasra said...

Another August has come
In every year when it cross my path
Making me one year older without my choice

Another August has come
Making me review my past living years
However I’m a soul not merely a child of time
I go beyond, even though my body will decease

Another August has come
I watch my fragile body of earth
Growing older in every passing year
Waiting to bid a farewell
As the day will come to free myself from this earthly weight
My soul will comprehend in a rejoice while those I leave behind cry for my depart
Deep down inside of them they know that I’m around
To them, they ache for I’m not part of their tangible life
by nasra al adawi


Written in inspiration of your poetry…
Thank you for such touching poem that made me write the above thoughts of mine

keed said...

Teleute said...

oh my god. you leave me absolutely speechless.

Paul said...

It all works. A really minor comment, and maybe nobody else got this and you didn't intend it:

But on that first picture, with the profile, the shape of the picure and the black strip across the top reminds me of a credit card! Suggestive maybe of taking a trip in August!

Miss A said...

I am so clever! I put a picture on my Blog!

I really like the first picture. That's great. the angel makes the picture as well as the darkness that frames it.

August: art. :-)

Hello A
Haven't been around for awhile. I thought since it is August that I would resurface. Yes, yet another August is upon us--that is how we live--carried away by time with names like August. Nice thoughts. Loved the glowing pic. dawn

Anonymous said...

A: Loved the pics by the way. Is that you in shadows in the first one? dawn

Extempore said...

Oh my... staggeringly lovely work. Mere words, .:a:. are not enough! And am not being kind... merely honest. :)

May I link you?

. : A : . said...

dawn - Welcome back! It is someone else in the shadows. I took the pic.

Extempore - Thanks! You are more than welcome to link me.

yvaine - :-)
