Only Echoes

Another recap on an old subject. Back to the rules of conduct, surely, life could be more fun without those rules?

Explaining My Absence

  • by

It’s true, working on a short story in the time I would normally be writing poems, so bear with me, almost done though 🙂

A Riddle

  • by

Riddles that consume me Questions that plague me Answers that defy me Explainations that fail Sitting quiet Putting down the notes Deciding to let go of the puzzle for now Then I become the riddle? Why is it your turn to Haphazardly, confusedly Openly desperately Open up the riddle? Why does my heart beat different?… Read More »A Riddle

Achievement

27, not old, not young Not just right either! I frown. And what have I gained? Where do I stand? What joys have i brought? What greatness have I achieved?

A rhymer? MY GOSH! But it works, I like this one – did you ever look at yourself in the morning, not quite sure of where you are in life? Staring into your eyes and not really knowing if you see whats really there… Wondering if other people see the same, or even close? Do your shoulders sag? No not in the mirror. Do your eyes look dull and lifeless, never in the mirror… the mirror is a great liar. Oh dear, distrust issues again!!! 😉
