Last night I came home from a great week of hiking in the Alps and I have taken some nice photos I want to share with you. Have fun watching (and commenting!)

EscapeAlone in the forestEscape by ~HerrPatitis
My mind fast asleep
No reason to laugh
And no need to weep
My spirit is dreaming
Of freedom and love
Its lullaby sung
By sparrow and dove
I can't hear them talking
Of madness and death
There's no human sound
Except my own breath
And just in this moment
I'm wearing a smile
It won't last forever
But at least for a while

AwakeningI'm torn between what's wrong and rightAwakening by ~HerrPatitis
Comforting blindness, cruel sight
Suffering and pain I see
But some peace there has to be
Traditions, lies, what does it matter
As long as they make me feel better?
Truth and wisdom can't be bad
But how come they make me sad?
Ignorance is bliss, they say
I did believe it 'til this day
But now all blessings I receive
Cannot withstand reality
And though it's hurting me to see
The daily pain and misery
I'll never close my eyes again
As from the truth too long I ran

Poem 25Gin on the rocksPoem 25 by ~JaimeCornwell
In shady pubs
Taking shots
At honesty
Like a blindfolded sniper
On a merry-go-round
Everyone's trying to dodge bullets
And I'm juggling steel-blue daggers
Refusing to watch
The truth
Wrapped up in pretty candy wrappers
Its too sugary
Even with 32 sweet teeth
And too late now
My jaws are already stuck
One try was enough
To hook me
Like a drug addict
My mouth glued shut
Caught in a sunshine and rainbow utopia
Of unspoken truths
Covered up
In toffee glazed lies

Nightlife ImpressionsRelaxed laughs, innocent glancesNightlife Impressions by ~JaimeCornwell
Overcompensating
Lacking meaning
In life's little scheme
Just joking
Dancing dangerous steps
To senseless beats
Hands roaming
When blue lights turn red
Waking up in strangers' beds
Hitting ground
Stumbling
Tumbling
Sowing regrets
I watch them
Unstable manifests
Drowning last night's mistakes
In cheap unholy spirits
See them
Insecure puppy paws
Clawing temptation
Just choking
Dog house feeling
In bar-shaped kennels
Gnawing on bones
When red lights turn blue
Pulling through
Only just
Sleeping
On basket stretchers
About to be put down
