We unlocked the kingdom of Narnia, Found the embellished rusty key, The garden was no longer a secret; It stood long waiting for you and me.

Unveil my Mysteries| Poetry

Before you remove my long flowing veil, And uncover the secrets that lie beneath, Be wary of the peril that lies ahead, As you face the demons under the sheath.

Changing Rhythms | Poetry

You spot the twinkle in my longing eyes, You feel the butterflies flutter their wings, We dance away throughout the night - To the sound of lutes and soothing strings.

I turned heads wherever I walked; I strutted about in sparkling shoes; Those awed gazes meant nothing - For they did not come from you.

Crowning Glory | Poetry

You fill the void in every paragraph - In my world's stage, you play all lives - A thousand deaths cannot strike you Like an ancient phoenix, you survive.

Dark Gothic | Poetry | Lillien Series

April 19, 2021July 31, 2022 Leah Chrestien

But this was no embrace like the romance of old days; Knowing there will be no happily ever afters to come, I succumbed to my fate and wait for judgement day; There is no salvation from what I have truly become.

The Heavens are Blue | Scrovegni Chapel | Padua

November 23, 2020November 23, 2020 Leah Chrestien

My first impression was that of sheer astonishment and bewilderment and just like many others, I too was surprised by the insides of the chapel; every inch of the chapel is exquisitely painted and the juxtaposition of blue and golden that dominates the scenes bear testimony to the artist's exceptional sense of color.
