Seeking happiness as the greatest good, is a disease. You're a hamster running in a wheel. Malta

Hedonistic Delights by Paul A journey back in time, where design, taste, and beauty mattered. Germany Part XXVI

The wind blowing loud Majestic black clouds The sea shows no mercy  There is no doubt. I love you For who you are. My arms around you Everything is about you  We are together  Nothing else matters Even when the world falls apart All gets dark We have each others heart. Malta

What are you waiting for? That the sun will rise again? What are you waiting for? That the tide shows up again? What are you waiting for? That god finally guides you through? What are you waiting for? That the sky will open up for you ? What are you waiting for? Netherlands.

The Confession The night of your birthday, the party— we all had too much to drink. You were already asleep. I could have said no to her. I know, I should have. But I didn’t. Germany

There it was, one of the better moments, captured, like a butterfly in the net. Malta

It wasn't easy No one said it would be They were right its painful to change A lot was lost along the way Some things can be found again Others are gone forever That was the purpose One thing,however,remained: I was and always will be able to hear the dolphins cry Croatia

That is how i imagine it, the final view, my end. In the Sky

You are so beautiful Those cheek bones. Tell me, are you jealous person? Territorial. So.. you are? I don’t desire what I can't have however, I protect what is mine— to the last drop of blood! It isn’t a choice anyway, it’s primal. Do you understand? Oh yes Baby, I do! Italy

It was tempting to believe that everything would be okay — but experience quietly taught you otherwise. Gozo

Emptiness The thought wasn't new, it occurred before. The answer to it neither. It was as such, accepted. Sometimes, there was some short-lasting hope, a daydream, one could say. The baleful truth, however, was: The emptiness inside her soul could not be filled. Germany

From above, you’d think things get clearer. But altitude doesn’t matter — perspective does. Wherever you are, you are still yourself. Turkey

Ghostkeeper - 1/3 Hanging souls, waiting to float. Judgment Day still to come. Some are brave, others scream all night long. The Ghostkeeper patiently waits. The good ones— they’ll come to him. The bad ones remain forever hanging. Punished for their sins. Malta

Ghostkeeper - 2/3 The Ghostkeeper always warns us: 'Not during daylight!' Today we did not listen, was a special day. Beautiful home we had. Houses changed, by time People come and go. Our tree was still there. No one ever dared to touch our tree Better, for them all! Germany

Ghostkeeper - 3/3 Has he spoken to you? Yes When will you meet your children? He is searching for their souls. Be patient They died so long before you It takes time. Can I trust his words? Trust? He is like a father to us! He will reunite you all like he always does! Germany

Epilogue - The Ghostkeeper Many many years ago the father killed his children and after hung himself on the tree. The mother never spoke a word, ever since. The father's soul punished -never floats - oh no! Poor children haunted, restless souls. Salvation now is close......

Don't worry, I will show you again. Soon. Germany
