I could not retain the memory,could not but let it go.To toil was a suffering, to strive too hard to know.To stumble (once) against the wall,to stand and try again.Like one piece of the puzzle, lost,to find, but who knows when.It may seem like just a moment,a lifetime it has been.To lose, and yet, to […]

Cherry blossom
Hours past since he had written words as sweet as sunshine – a cherry blossom shared between two lovers safe in bed – opening the wonder of a world distraught with pain That pain had stayed away from their ‘Juliet’ – the balcony beside the doorway by the window in the sun – a sense […]
