Tangled up in youTangled up in blue Bob Dylan song contest
Tangled up in you
I remember the day I saw her,
running down the avenue...
Chestnut hair flowing in the air,
I was taken by the view
She was running late, ran by my gate,
saying how do you do....
I said, don't run away, come make my day,
turn...

Tea Time
Loved all those times we met for tea;
My friends from our old garden club.
Now, many cannot come to share;
Our group is dwindling every year.
Pray those above, still carry on.

Never PostedI wrote
then paused,
ball pen hovering—
the words too bare.
They sat
on yellow sheets,
unsealed and unsent
in little brown envelopes.
A line
meant for truth,
one for letting go,
another for quiet peace.
I wrote
“I miss you,”
maybe even “I love you,”
then crossed half the page.
Sometimes
I read through
the unsaid in my heart,
and almost sent a word.
Your name—
blue, unfading
crawl the old sheets,
but my voice never...

Now what?Now I have to remember you longer than I've known you
Now I have to live with just your memories than the time I've spent loving you
Now my hands will miss you more than they caressed your hair
Now my heart shall ache harder than the time it used to race everytime I heard your name...

STAR IN HEAVEN
There is a star up in Heaven
Deeply nested in my lonely heart
I talk to it every night
Its beauty is ethereal
I still love you the same
The eternal bond is so unreal
It gives me the wings of a crane

Raak jy aan my - English translation includedRaak jy aan my
Die more son is ‘n kus op my wang
So sag soos ‘n veer, raak jy aan my
met die son en maak my verlang,
Die straal in die maan lig, streel my oë
So sag en teer, raak jy aan my
dat ek jou sien met ander oë.
Die wind waai en my omhels
So hou jy my...

About This Place
searching empty rooms ~
what do my tender hopes seek
now that I am all moved out
~ ~ mattered - not oblique ~ ~
sadly - whole house seems aloof
even walls just feel the roof...

Real Pain[Verse 1]
Everything you did, I kicked to the dust
Told me that you loved me, but that wasnt enough
Tired of bein’ second when you put them first
You let me down so much, now I got nothin’ to trust
You’d lie, say you comin', I’d sit and wait
But when I’m bleedin’ inside,...

RainI sit here thinking alone in the rain,
thinking of my sorrow, misery, and pain.
I sit here listening to the thunder crashing down,
knowing my life is better when you’re around.
As I sit here watching the storm roll on,
all I think about is you, and how you are gone.
As I look at the dark clouds above,
I sit...

A fence and an unforgettable memory2024.5.26
Sunday, My house was broke in.
The next day, you messaged me "Good morning".
Two hours later, I explained about the robbery.
"Invaded?? i went past and saw
The police van this morning.
I was a bit worried that
Something might have happened."
From that day, every evening,
You came to my place and stay till quite late.
You made sure I was protected,
Until...

Cemetery Holds The Livinghairline chasm threads
cobweb white through obsidian—
wrapped around carved names
once warm on living tongues.
those who lived visit
with heads down,
pretending it’s superstition—
not guilt.
not memory.
not fear of love ending abruptly
in a plot...

Missing YouIt's a funny
strange thing
When you're not around
Like the lack
of a smile
On a circus clown
Or a ferris wheel,
With all empty seats
a candied apple, More tart than sweet
Like a merry-go-round
That looks kind of scary
Or that huge prize teddy
You're not here to carry
An amusement park, On a winters day
And as...

Missing YouMissing you is like missing a shot,
It's so very painful because everyone puts the blame of you,
It's been a little over 2 years since,
July 3, 2021,
You were able to see my mom get married again,
Though you weren't sitting in a chair down with us,
And you didn’t know how to use technology,
But I don't think you...
