with no slippers and shoes on their cold feet;
people of...

she anxiously asked me to sit down
and listen to the wisest words

Fate's Prophecy
His young heart departed from
that adored town adorned by the September's frost,
wisked away by an uncaring father
whose extramarital affair
marred the family's harmony;
and his pretty mother drying away
his tears so innocent and warm,
to console him...

My Friend This Is the End
Many intimates might collapse, we realize,
And direct us to strive solely in this place,
There's nearly a ray of hope in the eagle's eyes,
To shed the ode's tear without further grace.
We say he imparted when we...

The Eel
Slithering in the depthless waters
We find the eel—never blinking
Rarely has he seen the sun
Encompassed with mistrust
He’s a soloist of the deep
Calm burning in his soul,
We find his home
Serenely built on the quietude of his...

A thousand ‘All over’ with them even in jokes…

The women bending and pounding in rhythm
was a vibrant bucolic sight. The long wooden

Friends are worthier than gold,
remembering their kindness as days unfold;
