Spin slowly, push ...
That's it. That's all.
Nothing more.
But it helps ... relief,
A body sigh ...
But only...

Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships
Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

It was just one of those splendid days, which held no excitement;
Moreover it required none, for in its stillness, I was content.
Lying on the forest green grass, luxurious blue skies in my eyes,
Summer winds brought...

LOVE Of Our Life
Life’s journey swim links 2 defined moments - birth & death.
To survive its stretch we swim different strokes,
Delivered inner strength combats heavy tides & puncture pokes,

Unnatural Selection
Life started out pretty well, of that I won’t complain,
Somehow then I lost it, god knows I can’t explain.

Julie's Grief

Provides without expectation
Contributes and never listens
To the voice of greed – believes
Giving is the way to bring to life
