Wistfully, she vanished.
"Yes" losing lover,
he stood astonished.
Her fragrance hover
everywhere inside home.
Solely to recover ~
He must roam,
search, else banished
she'll stay. Alone!

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

NIGHT WINDDistressful notes of pain
Strained with tears of plight
Echo through the silent night
Filling the empty spaces in my heart.

Pray hide from me sunbursts of glow
for the sky is of mist alone
and where...

As discords of then mourn, assailing vibes of now, emotions torn;
Yet I believe, love would have still vouched~ together we belong,
If only you knew, how to strum, sensuous...

But you never knew.
You didn’t see the love shining from my eyes
Bathing you in an iridescent glow.
You knew nothing of my heart
Pounding whenever...

If Only You KnewLove came and went like a lost Autumn leaf
tumbling from a naked limb of death
though beauty was found her kisses turned brief
tender, gentle, then a Winter's breath
in my heart's landscape, my eyes are crying
darkness falls...
