Tangled up in you
Tangled 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...

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 Posted
I 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 included
Raak 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...

I 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 memory
2024.5.26 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 Living
hairline 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...

Premium Member Missing You
It'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 You
Missing 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...
