My vantage point is clear and true, The scene below…….. it gives me pause. I watch the waves roll to and fro, Constant and Ephemeral.

Through warm and cold front sensations, We've weathered many storms. But the cessation of the sole connection Left us bleak, laden with human forms. The reverberating of chimes is so loud, Reminds us of what we once had. But now that we're lost in a sea of doubt, I wondered if it was all just a fad. We used to share everything. Our thoughts,...

I close my eyes feel the sun on my face hear the sounds of the sea smell the cooking of Greek food I lick my lips all around the sounds of Greece a language that is familiar to me a smile on my face But, it is only a dream and I open my eyes I see green fields feel the sun on my face hear the...

Having been on my own for the past ten years I suppose I am set in my ways If I’ve no planned routine at the start of each day I just come and I go as I may Awaking each morn just before dawn I can go where my mood may take me Disliking routine I meander free to come and...

Sameness I can avoid I know what your skin smells like in the morning And I can avoid that I know how your eyes look when you get excited And I can avoid that Familiarity I can’t avoid I know how your spirit feels And I can’t avoid that I am drawn to a familiarity that moves like the wind around your soul It’s...
