sipping showing off manicured nails;

A story based on fact – well, perhaps

My life journey thus farFinally my blood began to coagulate,
signalling that wounds inflicted by fate had healed,
paving way for my presence, to pass through heaven’s gate.

Faith Moves Mountains - and Hearts
Faith fans the flames of ever peace, endless grace
It burns up all doubt, ensuring the way out,

My mother is sadly now just a faint memory
As her passing was a number of decades ago

In the Eyes of Love
Breaking my heart with quiet smiles, sensations
Akin to dewlike joys, blended with chances,

One day, the idea came to me, just like that
And my own, not inspired by some deity
A bit like pulling a rabbit from a hat
So could it now be time for some gaiety
And wave goodbye...

All Seasons Come to an EndWinter's breath makes the willow weep with grief
for leaving her branches bare as frigid winds blow.
She cries for her leaves demise. Life was far too brief.

Before my decision’s made, a prize to award

Drunk from desires to once again feel your touch.

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” —Maya Angelou

A Fuss
Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life.

We’re like black and white, forever disparate.
While I look to the right, you search the left side.
