As The Maiden Yearns

Share

soft enamoured breath, delicate slender fiingers, sunkissed tendrils , that swing around the angelic face, rests by the window, a soul unaccompanied, in her sighs lie concealed, the yearning, of a departed mate, wakeful she stays , in starry nights, and when the moon’s illuminated, serene slumbers , are gone with her beloved, she begs […]

A Sullen Winter

In the creases of the black velvet, As it grows cold, The night spreads the arms, Never really sure , If the rain would come… Thoughts are a riot, They storm and pour, Stepping down the ladders, Of reason and truth, Excuses to go on, Promises of a sunshine… Tell me not to worry, In […]
