Peace and quiet
Fishing marlin was his thing – unruly – unkempt – tragic And a pen that stroked a thousand words – a drink devoid of magic How can you write and drink as well indulgences are few and far Friends were where romance blossomed like a smile from the bar Seen across the sozzled sort – […]
Freckles
I’m sorry; said the stooped man to the other (who was weeping) Don’t be; said the weeping man my predicament is mine They came across each other on the pathway – enticing Companionship and friendship – humanity’s design They sat on the bench that day – that day with sunshine gleaming As the one he […]
