Reminders….
AtoZatPp R Reminders… A coffee mug, An empty chair Or just a song, From another year. The fragrance lingers Of moments lived – Reminders of a life gone by.

Quell Those Voices
AtoZatPp Q Quell the voices That creep in From nooks and corners, Telling you That you can’t . Quell them Before the words They utter, Come rumbling along, Uprooting your hopes. Quell them Before they carve out Little incisions Upon your mind, And watch you fall apart. Quell them, I say, Quell them – So…

Once Upon A Time
AtoZatPp O Once upon a time When sweet flowers filled our world, Music flowed through words. Times have changed a bit. The flowers have wilted too., Cacophony reigns. Let us breathe new life, Into the half dead flowers. Let us weave new songs.

Never Shall I ..

AtoZatPp H Heaven knows A thing or two, About broken souls Who have lost their way. And when the alleys Grow dark and grey, The stars pierce through And show the way. Heaven knows – I say it does. A thing or two And even more.

Greatness Sought
AtoZatPp Sometimes I seek To be a little more Than a mouse sliding past walls Into sheltered corners, Where I am safe. I am no different fron most others. But like others, I sometimes take A swig of inspiration and seek To be like the leaves Hanging from branches, Dancing seductively in the breeze –…

Fears
AtoZatPp F Fears I see them, Like no one else does – Shadows that glide In strange forms And gnaw at a spot Right in the middle. Like bile they rise And seep into my heart. I lie still, staring at the Fan blades that cycle along, Waiting for closure, Till their next journey. Why…
