- Poetry > Free Versethe rain kissed my eyelids, and stumbled down across my cheeks, only to be caught by the softness of your lips I trembled lightly as the sun's feet walked upon my skin, and your fingertips slid elegantly down my chin I traced your scars with a smile, counted the rare times yo...
- Poetry > Free Versethe edges of your lips were always aimed towards the sky, your eyes danced at the words coming from your mouth, and there never was a cloud able to put a shadow over that light drawn in black, I was in the picture, too, always there to catch you before your tongue tasted dirt But my e...
- Poetry > Free Verse?The clouds stayed still, unmoving,? watching as he moved his lips,? and tears rolled down their cheeks ?with the combined sounds of? quickened heart beats and drowning eyes??

- Poetry > Free VerseShush, can you hear the silence? Can you hear its cries from thousands of immemorial times?

- Poetry > Free VerseThe night is cold and foggy, the wind is playing a beautiful symphony, Innocent snowflakes dance in circles, They all look like players from a circus.
