It is those moments that we may savour

If we ought to wed.
Five times she rejected me,
Said she’d rather be dead.
A little harsh I reckoned
And so I propositioned Dawn.
She answered no as well.
As did A...

The vaporised self

we set out to make void-centric soul’s stance,
assured that with God within, all is well,
so melding head with heart, we took a chance,
