FORTUNES READ the sign displayed
TRINKETS, CHARMS AND SPELLS
The store had not been here yesterday
shades of candles, books and bell
Drapes were hung from side to side
The windows all were dark
Where was this place a day ago?

Ah the lovely seasdie
Ah the lovely seaside

Childhood scents
Salt air, Salty bitter memories

He dreamed to walk along the seashore
He dreamed to see the seagulls sore overhead
He most of all dreamed to leave...

Hours and hours practising 
“Practice makes perfect!”
Others have described Antonio’s playing as perfect.

the next day the Britannia Panaopticon Music Hall,...

I bled shed tears

pale leaves like flames on me
its summer time I...

In an irrevocable warp speed instant, 
my head collided into the likeness of drying tar, 
absorbing each horrid layer of concrete. 
That pitch-black, tacky substance covered my body, 
so that I was trapped, sightless, into...

I had a nightmare, 2 nights ago
After 7 hours of fighting insomnia
This nightmare was hard to bear though
It forced my heart to sink into my gut, and caused me great nausea

In this dream, it was...

A lilac endeavor
of promised importance
came strolling along
on a path in the sun
Its fragrance unfurling
this side of September
when springtime was singing
for winter was done
With meadowlarks chatting
in off color language
while watching the roses
now bloom by the wall
She...

This is the second half, read part one before this

...This life was unlike others, not ripe, not light
We curs't them, 'stood not their mutual blight

The sun receded quietly on a relaxing siesta, as 
Calm clouds of the mid-afternoon smiled henced,
The beat of the drums provideth dancing rhythm
As she moved in pure elegance with harmony, to
A style of danced buoyantly...

Dew drops fell on my eyelids,

as I lay upon dampened ground

I sighed and looked heavens up astound,

wishing for the pain to cease

I wiped my brow of all crease

with dismay my mind wonders

There was an instant connection,

Thru the first bars & lines, as I gained mobile reception,

Eyes glowin in excitement,

Body growin from enticement,

As my fingers moved swiftly thru the keys,

My fingertips tingled,

My soul at ease,

U were a...

became less than perfect and I thought to myself...

in a frustrated sigh that brings upon the demise of May...

The clouds cried tears of frozen glass; 
Slicing at the tender flesh of dreary 
defenseless sky; The world sobbed 
under a veil of grey; While quietly 
humming a tune of hope; From

With the sunlight on my face,
All the walls surrounding me; opaque,
The outside world completely efface, 
I found myself, now awake.
The fortress of my captivity,
Keeping me alive but still,
The fortress of my incompetency,
The last of me...

Some can handle it
A few can understand it
No one can describe it

This thing called love can rearrange you
It messes with your head
It takes over your life
It consumes you
Inwards and outwards
You become someone new

Good feelings glow...

The skillet hung near the old wood-burning kitchen stove.
Aside from her family, Mom considered it a special trove.
With that blackened old pan she prepared delicious repasts,
That in my judicious opinion will ne'er be surpassed!

Ah, just...

Nothing or no one died today
For Death was on a holiday
No fires no floods just peace
Bullets and bombs all ceased
Young and old felt wonder amiss
Calm and tranquility was in full bliss
Happiness and laughter reign dear

It was delicate when it met my nose.
My mouth moistened as it tingled the candied fragrance.
Overcome by its embrace
Stifled by its warmth.
I knew this aroma intimately and I welcomed it with...

Tingle  

Melodies ~ ringing on soft cool winds,
dangling from tiny strings in metallic forms
Swaying in harmony with your smile
reflecting the mid day sun
in glimmering highlights of whipped cream whispers
on wings of stained glass dreams...
