A deer thought escapes ... my life nears its end!
And I feel...

Sing that beautiful love song so melodiously
The song that made him promise to love her endlessly
And made her fall in love with him hopelessly
He whispered, so luring, the words uttered so softly...

You say he took you unwillingly,
The lies are chilling me,

Dead Body of a Childhood

Before being allowed to get back up again

Starting at age five you began to tell me I wasn’t good enough

What For Oh This War

One year and more if people should die still,
Bombs keep raining, missiles shower red rage,
All seem routine to hearts hardening nigh,
World feels sad as an after-thought on stage.

But so had people died of Covid scare,
