It made me twist and turn in bed
My mind could well from a million alts choose: Marvel at beauty of that moonless sky, Re-live that meandering slow boat cruise, Recall fragrance from her love wafting by, Re-enjoy bluebell blossoms of late springs, I could have dwelt at her demurring dimple Which, seems to show deeper dent when she sings, And whilst at...

Speech transforms...

Premium Member In the twilight of her mind, where shadows play and memories twist
In the twilight of her mind, where shadows play and memories twist, She stood before the mirror, that ancient oracle of truth and deceit. A reflection, elusive as the morning mist, Dancing on the glass, a ghost of what she sought to meet. Through the corridors of time, she wandered, Echoes of voices, like whispers in a cavern, shaping her...

Difficult Roads
Difficult roads twist and turn, Like a river wandering through valleys, Each bend is a challenge, each obstacle is a test. But in the struggle, beauty awaits, Hidden like a gem in the rough, Patiently waiting to be found. Through the darkness, there is light, Through the storm, there is calm, And through the pain, there is growth. For every uphill battle leads to...
