Your Move Lord

An eternal presence presiding over me.
A creator, watching and observing.
All knowing.

When It Struck 11
When it struck 11, I sighed in relief
When it struck 11, I haven't felt grief
The time kept ticking on and it wasn't brief

Vigorously feeling vital everyday...

she shivers—nude, forlorn.
