I’ve Heard

Certainty, it’s said, is fleeting It may vanish upon meeting Or offer you a warm greeting You hope it will last a lifetime Pray that it will be your lifeline Most lose it, such a rife crime It’s ephemeral, so it’s precious Though it can turn you vicious Believe it, it’s gone, suspicious Belief is […]

A Mirror’s Glass in Darkness

  Always give your heart to those you can Everyone can hear what you might think Every time you open your mouth, speak Brilliant bon mots, also tarnished tropes Spew like vomit when you’re distracted At other times, though you feel focused Creating is your being when ideas dance Water beads sizzling in a searing […]
