Travails with a conscience
It came from far away And nestled nearer home All the while beside me From birth to when I’d grown My travails with a conscience lay Still active – I had known It came from far away – Perched by my very own And every time I saw her She looked peaceful – Like the […]
Loss
Loss Oh, God, What does it mean? Am I alone Yet near, beside The one I thought I’d have forever – Experiences Shared together Now you’ve left For better scenes Still nothing, no-one Comes between The rose and orchard We grew when The garden bloomed – The scent would spend It’s time in what Became […]
