Hello Ma’am

Hello ma’am, I have for you A query I need answers to You see, I was across the bar Seated, writing, mind afar But then a shimmer caught my eye It was your gaze as you walked by And so I was compelled to think Would this girl join me for a drink? Now here … More Hello Ma’am

Your Words

What is it that you’re thinking while you’re looking at me blinking as you’re struggling with every thought and word?

Hard to Get

A damsel in distress she’s not, though nights are all besot with her Affection widely chased more than even gold, frankincense and myrrh Aged better than Venetian wine, smoother than a fine liqueur Treat her as the Queen she is: this maiden we call Literature   Sought by many, caught by few, to court her … More Hard to Get

Love & Loss

Unforgiving, relentless, cruel More sour than lemon or lime Yielded by Life, this emotionless tool Deals pain that’s inevitable: Time No matter the love or the laughter it sees It strikes without warning or sign Its flame turns to smolder the most peaceful of trees All beginnings, it ends by design Why, all too often, … More Love & Loss

Winds of Change

Softly cup my hand to ear As wind blows whispers that I hear Sadness, loss, regret they bring All shadows from my yesteryear Words escape me, ones I’ve lost I never knew how much it’d cost When I thought not to buy a ring The path I should, I never crossed Now I’m forced to … More Winds of Change
