I had to do for a class

Natural Light from table lamp, Holga filtered

Added the essay portion per request on this piece.

She beckons to him in silence.
The intimate moments the two shared are etched deeply in his soul.
Her warmth, and her tender golden glow seduced him and toyed with his emotions.
Her sweetness enabled him.... disabled him.
The anguish and the memories of his love for her race through his mind.
He does'nt answer his cravings for her,For she almost destroyed him.
