the flower in my desiccated heart blossomed
when your charisma drizzled on me

by the...

Whispers of the ForgottenIn the shadowed alcove of memory, Where forgotten dreams curl like smoke, I wander, a spectral seeker, Tracing the edges of existence.
The moon, a pale witness, Hangs low, its silver gaze unyielding, As if it...

Add sweetness to hungry kisses
Star gazing to cricket symphony
Roof top whispers of love's infinity
Days drenched with salty waves
Sun flared skin...
