O thou lone star,My only glimmer of faint hope,In the menacing darkness of this undying night,I cling onto you fast, for losing you, I wouldn't find myself. Guide me,Through these endless oceans,Waters rolling over, from all sides,When I've lost all my heart to stay afloat. Lead me,When the fleeting illusions,In these dull, dead, dreary deserts,Compel...

We keep wasting colors Maybe we should let this go.......... ..........Never face each other One bed, different covers We don't care anymore Two hearts still beating On with different rhythms Maybe we should let this go ∼All we know...

Here I've penned the thoughts tossing in my head: 'Tis time to wipe my slate clean, And start afresh again, 'Tis time to bury the dead past, Which like the argosies fiercely tossed, On the dreadful ocean, fast. 'Tis time to wipe my slate clean, And start afresh again, 'Tis time to adorn the present,... Continue Reading →
