breeze gently by
visit me scattered memories

The Game
...THE GAME
We would gather slowly

There is no end to this lovely game

If You Were Here

The sheets would rustle now
Like whispers in the night
The wind would come
With jasmine breath
And your eyes would be
The candle of delight
If you were here
Your veins would murmur ...

Here in my heart I know the motion wasn’t sand less dune.
Now I still hear the chiming of that distant brass bell.
