satisfied
leaves me nearly...

Gone was any passionate lovemaking.

About those who think they have the right,
To take from a child all that is bright,
And make the sun disappear out of sight.

Clean AirClean air has now become a pipe dream.
The bleak energy speaks loudly,
With a lot of stale and toxic air.
Like Jonah in the belly of the whale,
People stay choking, choking for fresh air!
Sapphire waters, smothered,

The Waitress
In the dim-lit corner of a forsaken cafe,
I dwell alone, as time slips away.
He strides in with an air of indifference,
Yet his gaze betrays no hint of penitence.
Briefly, our eyes entwine in sorrow,
A fleeting moment,...

Imagine a world where darkness reigns supreme, and the sun itself coders behinds clouds of despair.
Within this realm, a lonely soul seeks solace in the arms of another, only to find his path...

There's nothing left of Autumn but the leaves
They swirl and scatter, meet then disengage
The moon puts silver footlights in the sheaves and turns the marble court into a stage
She draws the curtains when she starts...
