BRAVADO
BRAVADO Braving loosed missiles Reeling from loveless shots After Love's pain-filled exit Vain hope let me down Again I'm rejected, Dejected and forlorn. O stand up, My Heart! First posted:27/11/2015 Just like that Flaming Phoenix, I have picked myself up time and time again from the ashes. Some natural flora areas need wildfires to release seeds that bring new life to devastation. If someone pushes you in...

May I Love You In My Dreams
May I love you in my dreams as I love you as you are, As I loved you from distant past so many miles afar. May I love the hands that touch me, extensions of your being, As I love thy tender care of my life’s constant overseeing. May I love the arms that comfort and consoles me, As they...

Bravado
I used to be brave, But that was just carelessness. Now, I fear death you know, the blackness beyond the light. My child and discovery, Going hand in hand. She’s two now, And is always smiling....

Backwoods Bravado
Misery's my masterpiece I'm a Rembrandt of the blues My bucket list, only consists Of a pair of worn out shoes Nashville spit me out And that's a hard pill, to swallow Much like my Backwoods Bravado My backwoods bravado Helps me write these songs It's also the reason Why I'm still alone I'm hard on myself Because pride don't pay bills And living helped me render These skills I...

No Bravado Or Confidence, Just a Confusing Coindence
How long can I pretend? my facial expression is blank But my thoughts are competing in a race and it always separates into four different worlds There's no bravado or confidence, maybe coincidence but it's only confusion in the state of missing a break from all of this is all I hope to achieve but there's only one instance...

Boardroom Bravado
Trapped in my mind, taking refuge from scurge who annoy me. Mouths move, words understood but sentences simply defeat me. Over my head like live ammunition a garbled blurb shoots out a round. The talk I hear must be important from the nods and expressions I see. I try to engage, say something clever but I'm out...

No Bravado
She had never seen a real torture, picture a gentle breeze entering, the walls were smooth and white, and the old rule was ignored, to terrify you need to look terrifying.
