Footprints
I look back at my footprints, Which showed my progression. A better one indeed, Learning how a life proceeds.   Know that yesterday isn't tomorrow.

A sudden courage appeared to solve Those one by one, it brought peace.   Heart untangled from the ties Which...

Sad Boys In Class
We sat in class, Doing nothing new, As time passed, Teacher is late! Finish the work due! Waited there, waited for long, And someone started tapping his desk, We all started singing a song, Our music, it was the best! Oh wait, soon 15 minutes will pass, And as the teacher is not here, Boys BY LAW we can leave this class! Boys stand up from...

Dust To Dust
If your heart was a diamond, perfect and clear, glittering gleaming like a broken heart's tear, if lust was coal, dusty and black, would it make you realize you want to come back? If music was woven with golden thread soft... like the locks lay upon your head I would listen all day... and through the night I would play it once...

Premium Member Don'T Know, Don'T Care
I swear, my parents act like they were never teens in a pandemic growing up. I was watching “Perry Mason,” an HBO show set in the 1930s. Perry gets mail out of his mailbox and I think “no GLOVES??” This pandemic has a hold of me. 6:30am I’m finishing my shower - wrapping my hair in...

Premium Member I Am
Born dependent. Wide-eyed and hungry. Looking and learning. So much colour. Bigger bed. Sounds ringing. Talking and smiling. Homes and pets. Kitchen smells. School bells. Bigger clothes. Friends rotate. Library books. Bigger shoes. New building. Glasses on. Late nights. Certificate. Bigger world. Crowded transport. Watch the clock. Need more sleep. Bigger pressures. Reunion time. See old friends. Comparing lives. Bigger roles. Kids and Grandkids. Born dependent. Wide-eyed and hungry. Looking and learning......
