That other voice in my head

and cold winter winds will chaff.
The first tells me fall is nearing,
The second flies my flag half staff

I’m pleased that my memory
has two sides,
I always try to accept what

often with regret.
The other, when convenient,
allows me to forget.

CampaignMavis be demonstrated;
Further illustrated.
Flourish well-painted;
Cash crop words to play with.
You can come and say this:
Why I was created;
Specify the fact that,
I should just brave it;
As a stonemason,

To break the barriers,
Of political persuasion...

To ease this pain, bring on the rain;
wash clean the scenes
of violence and abuse.
Nightmares and flares...

Guiltless CheaterGuiltless cheater
restrain your pleasures,
give some and be selfless;
don't walk on water
to show confidence
and hide your pretense!
What was yours
will be taken away,
from you eventually;
you live for the moment!
You leave hearts
bleeding and shivering...
giving no thought
if they get...

Can Absence Rekindle My FlameIt's a puzzle with one missing piece,
it won't let me complete this game;
