Unique Matters of Love

We see
Phenomenal matters of love
With our heart

Duplicity of the Wind
...The wind seems a song of placidity
As it passes through the meadow near
But I know it’s a harbinger of treachery
Soon, from sudden blasts of Arctic air.
They say a snowstorm is immi...

Where ghosts of past intrude,
Overwhelming of soul,
A comprehension felt and noted
It never goes away,
Mostly stays in background
And in inappropriate times ...

Seated here all day, I've been thinking,
And feeling a stifling sensation of pain and suspense,
Life becoming more meani...
