Absence- does it make the heart grow fonder?

Lots of thought and little action, brings tears. Moments of happiness, are stolen. Time an immortal enemy, Distance the battlefield. Yearning for the one fated glimmer of hope, Absence, does it make the heart grow fonder? Copyright © 2020 Gourmet for the Soul – All rights reserved

You are blood

Blood is thicker than water, The words of an abandoned daughter. You will fight for each other, You will protect each other, You are blood. Never take one another for granted, Never let love make you enchanted. Fight for each other, Protect each other, You are blood. Watch over sister and brother, You will notContinue reading “You are blood”

In the cold, I waited for you. An impatient parent, guarding my place in the queue of life. I waited for the glimmer, as you emerge from the darkness and are born again at my stop. RA Copyright © 2020 Gourmet for the Soul – All rights reserved

Tears, as the heart’s rhythm races with the music, Moonlight tinkling reality’s piano. In my mind lovers dance, he held her,Continue reading “Adagio for Lovers”

Languages

RA Looking down I realise how far away I am, how disconnected I am, how unconnected I am. Even when I speak in a language I understand, I need an interpreter to tell them what I mean. I roar and shout inside, my mouth utters no sound, I’m deaf and dumb, though I speak. SometimesContinue reading “Languages”
