Nothing! In short I’ve just lived like a piece of furniture for some days. (Come to think of it... Continue Reading →
Let’s fall in love all over again…
We’ve had unspoken utterances And we’ve said those 3 words too Silent fights and lonely nights And I’ve read your eyes like a book My possession still bears the ambigram where two names read just the same.

I AM…
I'm a wanderer in a highlandI'm the farthest star at nightI'm the deepest rock in the riverI'm the golden ray of sunlightI'm a pastel shade of crayonI'm the second hand of the clockI'm the blade of grass so greenI'm a moment of silence in havocI'm a dew drop on a carnationI'm a gulp of water...
