    Equal Footing

    Maybe you’re right,as these days pass through,into another cold rainy night. It’s not that I am angry, or that I’ve lost my sight, what I can see and what is unseen, is that none of us seem to be living our dreams. When those who came to help me, what those kind, caring, and helpful…

    Take it for what it’s worth

    What we could have done from here. All those moments we could have shared.An epic, an era, a whole new story to be written. Instead, off the rails we continue to go. I never stopped loving you I never stopped praying to all the sacred things.Every time you swore that this would be the moment.…

    Forgive, Regret, Miss Life.

    All Being, All Seeing, and All Knowing

  • When Did You Know?

    When Did You Know?

    When did you knowyou were the one?For me, it was from that very first moment.When I first looked in your eyes,I had this sudden and deep feeling of love.That deep inside me I knew I would never be the same.This love could have stood the test of time. I knew from that very moment that…
