Raven and WrenRAVEN AND WREN
As the world wakes up
To the sun’s gentle rays of light
Frozen memories melt and flow
Penetrate but do not satiate
Moments of insipid sight
A scenery of incessant delight
As the raven chases the wren
Back to...

Strained with tears of plight

Misty Blues Oh, trees of once so forest green
now shrouded to me in pale hues

for the sky is of mist alone

If Only You Knew
I must have rehearsed a thousand times,
but the words just floated away;

Each moment we shared is a memory,
to cherish...

If Only You Knew
Withered meadows of yesteryears ache, recalling memories forlorn,
As discords of then mourn, assailing vibes of now, emotions torn;
Yet I believe, love would have still vouched~ together we belong,

But you never knew.

Bathing you in an iridescent glow.
You knew nothing of my heart
Pounding whenever...

One RedeemerIn life's relentless gale, I stand frail,
Each strike kindles a storm of wail.
Through sleepless nights, I roam in grief,
As love's illusion fades, like a withering leaf.
The peace of heaven, a distant dream,
In the clutches of...

An Amazon BoxWe expected an Amazon box,
Which had toothpaste and sandals and socks,
Plus a few odds and ends
Which, when Amazon sends,
Rarely ends up with stumbling blocks.
Yet the package, this time, never came
And we’re not really...
