Premium Member A Time To Reflect
"we are All pawns in the chessboard of an Unknown skilled magician..." (By Poet) On a calm tranquil afternoon, When playful chirping and cooing Of birds lavishly entertain my throbbing senses, I drown myself in reverie and retrospection, Of times past, times spent well, And times my mind was occupied with - The unique mysteries of a universe I will Never be able...

Young Once More. . Beyond furrow and story filled line Haggard and lived in drooping sallow skin Weathered and tired by the scourge of time Disguises a youthful heart that resides within Cheeky clear smiling eyes Light up as beacons on a dark velvet night Reviling the beauty beyond facade disguise On reminisces of her happy childhood take flight For a few brief moments...

Pace increases, prospects vast, golden sun, then shadows cast. Tunnel vision, fortunes passed, speed illusion, double fast. Transport systems side by side, railways clatter, waters glide.

Retrospection
On you, it was my heart that was set. And I knew, I was in love with you, Before the first time, we had ever met. But to you, no more, could I possibly, See a way, to give. Once I began to die from a broken heart, When for me, in return, you couldn’t live. So I was left with...
