Time’s overreaching as life murmurs to a close, A dialogue left incomplete before the season’s changed, Forced shut before the year drew out. Stripped of age and run dry of an era, An element of emptiness dripping down On those left behind. And the firmament sends ...Read More
Try and slow down before the end – Try and move backward towards clearer memories, away from the black holes. Before the sky opens up and swallows you whole, Before time sprints forward and damages your soul. Lightening strikes softly, before the whispers get louder, overshadowing the sound of thunder – only in your ...Read More

Dear engaging vines Of love, How softly you’ve drawn Me in. Your tangled web of spaces, The only silence Amongst the chaotic sounds.
