Blue Belle Photography: Annishka O Photography Model, Stylist, Hair & Makeup, Poem: Annishka Oska Model Represented by: Bump Models
“A dream ignites on the whisper of a breeze. The warm damp breath of Spring; A lover’s sigh caressing skin. Drifting perfume draws her in. Beyond the bracken blue birds tease, Blooms beckon bright - promise to please; There, the secret garden of the woods. Trappings of sunlight spread their bed. A wisp of petals falls from her head. A sudden gust, a mystery cry; A fairy trump none can deny. Where the bluebird calls, the blue bell falls. Transformed there on all fours, She bounds away on springing paws, Her freedom’s found - hiding in the flowers.”
