The pages of a book, the leaves of a life. Pictures of a love overcoming strife Moments in time, captured for posterity Reminders of a past filled with love and hilarity
Memories are all that the pages now hold Dreams of a life now lost and cold The warmth we felt from a beating heart The cruel reality of a soul torn apart
We walked long roads lined with beech and oak In warm woodland pools we would swim and soak As the sun set neath distant horizons And stars came to life so high in the heavens
I know that one day we will dance once more In our hearts we’ll feel the eternal score And all around will be smiles of glee All that I ask, will you wait for me?
In my heart and my head there is an inky blackness that roars with a deafening silence As I stand so still in the tunnel of darkness, so still, like a boat between the swells of a tumultuous mountain I
To conquer my desire, I chose to battle alone. Armed with hope, Strength and courage Holding weapons of determination and perseverance Struggled, fought till the last blood sheds But.. Lost!!!!Defeated!!! People say “Life is like licking honey off a thorn”….Yes
The sun is now hiding its light And hope is fading in the darkness of the night Tears fell from your weary eyes Holding back the hardships in your heart I can tell it with your sigh. Teardrops glitter in
You heard what you wanted to hear You felt what you wanted to feel You ignored all the evidence to the contrary And resigned yourself to the fates But what you did not see Was the turmoil that started it
I’m a prisoner -A prisoner of my mind. I can’t be free. I can’t be me. Locked in by anxiety, interrogated by insecurity, and depression is barricading the door. With no room to breathe, I can feel my lungs collapse

Darren another lovely read. This one is so tender lovely
to read on a Sunday morn
Thanks Johanna. Every now and then a happy, positive one sneaks out.

All I can say I will wait — for another as you have a wonderful fun mind truly
but seem to adapt to other avenues with ease too.
I have a very fertile imagination which I enjoy exploring to see where it will lead. Glad you’re along for the ride!
