She's the female reflection of one of my best friends in the whole world. A true beauty, 100%. I could not ask for a more perfect companion to my dear brother, and I love you as my sister always.

Tse, Tse, Tse...
What to say of this lady
who has touched my heart in so many ways?

When I was feeling free and wild,
she danced the dance by my side
and smiled with the abandon of it all...
Whether running the streets
dancing on feets of bronze
below our own,
spinning above the spun
in the warehouse I called home.

When we next saw each other,
life was so very different
and yet, the emotion was true and deep still
even though circumstance
changed the dance
to merely happenstance
while the feeling found new routes to show its spark

In the next meeting of the meat,
my soul was bare, and life was bleak
in the midst of life's reconstruction
and again, she was there, full of love and care
to dry my eyes and share a space I couldn't even call my own.

Now, as our lives grow,
side by side in gardens far apart
at least for the moment we know
this magnificent lady is still dear to my heart...

A truer friend I've never found
and the grace of the muse in her wake
shines the light of her spirit across the lake of life.

Much love, MT

I have so much respect, admiration and love for Tserefina!
We have met one another in three countries,
sometimes halfway around the world,
just to see one another for a week, maybe two...
Just enough to make me miss her all the more when we part.
She is an enchantingly wise woman, and I think her shyness
is a ruse to be allowed to sit back and figure us all out
as we lay ourselves bare before her gentle eyes...
I hope one day to wake from this dream into her arms,
only to drift back to slumber, not knowing which was dream or reality,
so I can wake again and know her touch is real
as I let a sweet sigh of contentment slip from my lips to wake her....

This lady rocks it HARD!
A graceful stilter and talented performer,
she never fails to blow my mind with the sheer passion and love for life she exudes...
