to flog the flesh and batter bones

Love is Enough!
All the yesterdays,
With their shadows, haunting
Feeding my heart with melancholic
Memories, floating on seas
Of silence, still as the moments
Falling. Like leaves or dandelion seeds,
Alive, dancing, blowing…
All the yesterdays,
In prayers, erasing the darkness,
Silly moments stored...

Turtle Dove I've been down
This road before
Far too many times
With a tiny frown,
But what for?
I've been alone
For many years
Far too many times,
Sheltered by tears
I'm under you now
I love you somehow
Grieve not,...

Why does the voiceless canary stare so bleakly?
Why do the sullen grey clouds desert a sombre sky?
As the ugly black smog blots out the valiant sun’s rays
The honey less flowers kiss the dying bees’ goodbye
