The Colors of Life's Flowers
The Colors of Life's Flowers Pain ted on a deep blue backdrop, As if this winding life is veiled in mystery's wrap. Some flowers in a clear vase reside, Like our mistakes woven in varied tide. White, simple daisies, a symbol of peace, Beside them, orange's warm release.

TRICKLES OF TIME
1/We are trickles of time that fall off freely together with the ticking seconds leaving behind numbers.

'Always stammering spelling the word love in prayers'. Going from one silence to another (feeling happy). Then the world is like a mirage full of expectations. We humans walk the road in thirst. We are humans travel the distance, on a path built from the desires of others (feeling alienated).

Falling for You… Again and Again
Falling for You… Again and Again Every Time Feels Like the First Time An Endless Cycle of Love Story The first time I saw you, the world slowed. Your laughter was a melody I couldn’t forget, your smile a spark that lit up the room. I fell fast, helplessly, as if gravity had shifted and you were my only center.

Ink Beneath the Skin
I found the book by accident, a thrift store corner, dust and quiet, wedged between a haunted novel and casseroles from 1983.
