Eyes answer all
look deeply
the smile does not reach them
try fool the world around
but turmoil lies beneath
the soul mourns
the heart is sad
Be gentle
towards her needs
you are not her ONE

a forever lie
the crying will pass
dare to do what
she is unable to do
the moments hell will end
let her find her man

Small hand explores my face
Tiny finger brushes my lashes
Soft child’s breath on my cheek

dulls the part of the head screaming – … Continue reading the story "Hope"
What colour is love?
is it pink and red and pretty?
or is it kaleidoscope of light and dark, multifaceted, sometimes just a translucent glow
What does love sound like?
is it beautiful words, a sigh, a low passionate moan?
or is it the sound of a quickening heart
What does love taste like?
is it sweet and sensual like ripe … Continue reading the story "Love"
In silent depths
At the edge of a promise
my soul must rest
learning the art of solitude
let the sadness be,
walk, lie, rise with it.
The fragile whisper of tomorrow.
