I dream of you in sheets of pearl,
petals of blush & gold sweep the floor.
She is, she is, she is, everything I am,
within & without you.

I am with Miss Banana at the studio. Shooting another model today, but we may get some time in. This wonderful shot is from our last shoot. Leanna did her make-up & hair.

The smell of grass just makes you pass into a dream.

You were my little baby girl,
and I shared all your fears.
Such joy to hold you in my arms
and kiss away your tears.
But now you’re gone, there’s only pain
and nothing I can do.
And I don’t want to live this life,
if I can’t live for you.
To my beautiful baby girl.
Our love will never die.
- Sid to Nancy, 1978
