Invicta Indie Arts

Intro

Woke up one day at Saint Petersburg in 21.12.21, thinking about my birth city that's Porto while I was preparing a sugarless tea only to myself inside a room.

 Clearly remember I walking in Nevsky Prospekt street while suddenly inside the tape that was in my walkman the song "Another Day" by This Mortal Coil started to play.

 In front of me was a beautiful blonde woman wearing a black dress, a white chemise and a black cape, bearing sharp teeth, lustful eyes and a beautiful smile, I couldn't understand why she was staring nervously and in a sensitive mood towards me. 

 Randomly the tape inside my walkman began to automatically move fast forward and the theme "Song To The Siren" was playing in it while Liz Fraser's voice was in my ears, just like in her early years when Cocteau Twins were a band of pretentious "snobs" reading poems and watching movies by French artist Jean Cocteau. 

 Lost Highway's last movie scene by David Lynch echoed inside my heart and soul while I went back in time to the first moment when I watched this movie in its premiere in the local theater of the city where I live in named Charlot, feeling myself in and out of my inner dreamy state, observing it while Patricia Arquette's Alice character was displaying a fabulous sex moment in the desert.

 This blonde woman told me that her name was Janina, that she had Romanian roots and that she could navigate from mind to mind, from one piece of memory to another and from heart to heart while her physical aspect couldn't be seen in a mirror. 

 Instantly she gave me her hand, told me that she loved me and we went to a cave near a magical cube in Porto when suddenly the song "Face To Face" by Siouxsie And The Banshees, blessed by the Ice Queen's voice started to play inside it in a continuous loop both to me and her.

 Felt us walking in clouds when her feet touched mine while we both embraced sun and moon, mimicking Batman and Catwoman's characters in Tim Burton's masterpiece movie Batman Returns. 

 Janina grabbed her Crowley's tarot cards deck designed by Frieda Harris and displayed all the cards in line while showing each one of them to me.

During our early morning hour's conversation, she reminded me of Aleister's suicide, his written love letter to her scarlet woman Leah Hirsig in Boca do Inferno at Lisbon while visiting there Fernando Pessoa and a song by Fields of The Nephilim reciting a poem by him to her.  

I remember that by the cave's floor were seven books, being the first one "The book of Disquiet" by Fernando Pessoa, the second one a book compiling all poems by Edgar Allan Poe, translated by Fernando Pessoa (while inside my heart Annabel Lee's words were pumping blood into my brain), the third book being "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley, the fourth book being "Notes From The Underground" by Dostoievsky, the fifth book being "A Season In Hell" by Rimbaud, the sixth book being "Listen, Little Man" by Wilhelm Reich and the seventh book being a huge one with graphic tales depicting beautiful women and showcasing Valentina's character by Italian artist Guido Crepax.

Clearly remember I also that during that night I mentioned to Janina that she would always be my Valentina deep inside our love's inner circle. 

 Instantly went I to the cave's kitchen for a minute while Janina was chanting some Maldoror's Chants by Lautreamont while depicting imagery of The Seven Circles of Hell by Dante Alighieri.

 While peeling a simple orange to me and to her with lots of sugar, visions of Count Cagliostro's narrated by Portuguese writer Camilo Castelo Branco depicting freemansory during Catherine,The Great reign at Saint Petersburg popped outside a dream into a simple blurry vision of reality to both of us. 

 Prepared a coffee for me and her in a single cup

without sugar and with a piece of chocolate and cherry near it for us to share, being the coffee black as coal and soft as the night as we both like it. 

 Grabbed a pen while staring at Janina several times and started writing to her lots of poems out of the blue about everything and nothing at all while mentioning what we both are to one another and what we both consume in arts.

 In the TV set inside the cave's bathroom the movie "Only Lovers Left Alive" by Jim Jarmusch was in display deep inside a continuous loop while we were bathing our bodies together.

 Janina suddenly told me that she felt herself like Lilith and that she also loved Eve, telling me that I possessed Adam's apple from the garden of delight while feeling myself as The Count Saint Germain,  mentioning to me that we both had in our possession The book of The Mad Arab, the 30 coins of Judas Iscariot and The Spear of Destiny. 

 We danced from room to room just like Mina Harker and Dracula's character inside Bram Stoker's movie adaptation by Francis Ford Coppola of the book written by him with the same name with a love that never dies, caring us not about imaginary tales of lore and I knew that I couldn't care less if she was going to bite me with her fangs or not while her clothes were constantly shapeshifting inside her body just like a sort of heart and soul metamorphosis. 

 Janina's walkman was playing Christian Death's song "this glass house" being it narrated by Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone, while we me and her were creating a handcrafted art cover for it inside a catastrophe ballet, she told me then that she felt the tape inside her walkman jumping outside.

 Inside our total recall there was the moment when inside our memories, there was the freezing tale of a Crow that flew from hell named Vincent, that helped me and her along a girl named Shelly and a boy named Eric to spread our eternal everlasting love. 

 Suddenly we both fell ourselves into our bed while the TV set was displaying "8 and an half" movie by Fellini.

 Continued I to mention to her randomly that I would love her to eternity while she was whispering me the exact same words while biting my neck. 

 Clearly knew that from that day till today we are both vampires that are eternally in love inside our own burning emotional flames.

 Below is an interview conducted by me to her with 12 questions about how she sees herself in arts and life as an artist while also being a simple female human being because we both love to share our love in all its various forms.
