if this was the last snowfall...

"The Last Snowfall"

If this were the last snowfall
No more halos on evergreen
If this were the last glimpse of winter
What would these eyes see?

If this were the last slow curling
Of your fingers in my palm
If this were the last I felt you breathing
How would I carry on?

This is not the last snowfall
Not our last embrace
But if I were that kind of grateful
What would I try to say? 
Vienna Teng

the green apples...


 This post has a little bit of fashion and a little bit of decor as I wanted to show this awesome dining set by Kaerri Designs, the Opi set. Lovely modern steel and wood design that fits so many types of decor, and comes with pretty much all you would need to host a lovely dinner party for a few friends or an intimate evening with a special someone. I felt it fit in an outdoors setting, and the colors reminded me of Tuscany, vineyards and the late summer evenings full of color. The dress from KiB fit that theme so well, and the lovely casual look was still polished and sexy. Finally, this gorgeous head from Catwa, just released, called Kori.. on sale for 400L and it comes with 5 lip options (five different static heads actually).  I loved the features and am glad I followed my impulse to get it.

Its the weekend and my lovely table is set with delicious appetizers and wine, I am all dressed to relax by the setting sun, and now all I need is a friend or two to chill with.. have a lovely evening everyone and check out the details below... xoxo  Tessy

Strange how this journey's hurting, in ways we accept as part of fate's decree...

"I measure the time and I stand amazed..." a lyric from one of my favorite singers, Vienna Teng,  is something that comes to mind alot these days. SL has been an interesting mix of varied experiences, and I can honestly say I would not change any of them. Each experience, each encounter, has taught me something, a lesson learned about the human heart and the human experience and friendship. In so many ways I have been blessed with having shared some incredible stories with some amazing souls. Some have chosen to close their books,  perhaps our stories have ended.  Some have chosen to keep me in their story, and for that I am humbly grateful. May you all share in each other's stories and may your guide always be kindness... xoxo

Alive, with closed eyes...

"i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon"

{Wicked} Eternity

"You once said I was as close to perfection as to be indistinguishable from it.." she said in a hushed tone. Her back was to him, her eyes fixed on the still, dark water beyond the decaying garden and mausoleum. She could sense him, sense his warmth, his humanity, so enticing... she closed her eyes and took a deep, steadying breath. Her pale skin nearly glowed in the moonlight. She knew he was staring at her, his eyes had not left her form since he arrived. His image was burned into her mind such that she never needed to see him really.. all she had to do was think of his deep dark skin, his broad shoulders, smooth wide lips, deep brown eyes, and her mind would call him forth, a perfect rendering of desire.

He took a step forward, one hand reaching out. She spun around, her preternatural speed stopping him in his tracks.

"don't", was all she said. One simple word, heavy with warning. Her eyes glowed, and her fangs bared just over her slightly parted lips.  He stopped. She had never done that before, she had never refused him.
He heeded her warning, and backed off a few steps.
"I did say that.. " His voice was deep, a lovely velvety smooth tone that caressed her insisdes, melted her.. rendered her.  "and you always will be".

"Liar." she countered, her voice not quavering, not showing the deep need she still felt. She would never show that again. Ever.

"no,Tess,  I did not lie," his voice reached her. "I meant every word.." Tess turned, her eyes once more focused on the water beyond.

"then how do you leave perfection?"  she said after a few moments of heavy silence.
"with great difficulty" he said, his voice heavy with resignation, as if a thousand chains had wrapped around him. She saw as she turned slightly, his shoulders sag just a little bit, his eyes looked down at the concrete.
"I am sorry.. " he started to speak, but she stopped him.
"No you're not.. You are not sorry.. " her body was next to him now, her hand on his chest as he eyes held his. "You. Are. NOT. Sorry." she said once more, her teeth gritted, her eyes glowing a deep shade of ethereal blue green. "You got exactly what you wanted.. your dream, every fantasy fulfilled.. every deep, dark, filthy desire come to life. But its not as easy as it sounds is it, my darling?" Her voice lowered, huskier now.. dangerously wicked.
"It got.. complicated didn't it? you discovered that there was a heart, a soul, and love suddenly stared right at you, and you ran. You ran as far away as you could because now it was no longer just a lover, but a soul that was staring back at you, and your had to see yourself reflected in those eyes..." she stared at him and spoke every word with righteous anger, steady, cold and calculating."Coward" she finally said, pushing him away with a sneer on her lovely lips.

He stumbled slightly, wincing as he heard her last word. Spinning around she held herself straight, regal, elegant in her stance, easy yet with incredible strength flowing in every limb.
"this is the last time you will see me.. Ever. Understand this. I am NOT coming back, even if you are dying, in pain, hurt, or desperate. You have chosen to cut that connection.. YOU have chosen this. The consequence of your decision will be yours and yours alone. As of tonight, you are not just dead to me. You will be as if you never existed." Her eyes held his in her final statement now. "everything that you ever were to me is now gone. Erased. And... everything that I was to you will be gone as well.. all you will remember is a longing.. a need unfulfilled, and a yearning for something just out of reach, in the shadows.. hidden from you...  For eternity.. and, darling, eternity is a mighty long time".

Suddenly she was gone. All he could remember was a bright light, then.. emptiness. An emptiness so poignant that he wept, his tears falling on the cold concrete of the empty mausoleum. And that's how it was. That longing was always there, never abating. Every day he was reminded of something, a knowing that he had once had everything.. and lost it.

Eternity, darling, is a mighty long time.

Her kiss was like a storybokk from ancient history...


“I once had a love
who folded secrets between her thighs like napkins
and concealed memories in the valley of her breasts.
There was no match for the freckles on her chest,
and no one could mistake them for a field of honeysuckles.
Upon her lips, a thousand lies were spread in sweet gloss.
Her kiss was like a storybook from ancient history.
She was at home with the body of a man inside her, beside her.
At night, when she lay in bed crying,
no one could mistake the tears she wept for a summer shower
She is gone, my love. She was a wanderess, a wildflower.”

Hunts and Freebs..


Hunts are always a fun way to find some really cool new stores and designer that you may not know of, and on top of it for free! Womenstuff Hunt is an annual hunt in SL that has always had so many lovely items for the ladies that its really worth checking out. If you are new to the SL experience I'd highly reccommend doing a hunt or two.  I think its very generous of creators to participate in these hunts as they really are under no obligation to. And, the same goes for group gifts. I highly reccomend the next time you get a group gift from one of your groups, send a thank you note to the creator letting them know you appreciate it. I know most of them will appreciate knowing you like their gifts :) The items I am showcasing here are from Alien Gizmo, the top is for the Womenstuff Hunt and the skirt is their group gift. If you haven't heard of this designer be sure to check out more of their work in their store. See below for details.
