Clock ticked one by one,
twos and sixes.
The pattern in the seat, empty,

2.
The pattern of shadows that fell
smeared his face.
Rose petals blew in the wind
and he felt them in a flurry against his face.
The wedding was over,

A shower of rain
tumultuous clouds
a hurricane?
Yesterday,
the sun shone bright.

Heart of Darkness
It was more than a year since his death, more than a year since the news came; she seemed as though she would remember and mourn forever.

The room ( Read more... ) -

"The question is have I learned anything about life. Only that human being are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun. The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter... if it turns out that there IS a God, I don't think that He's evil. I think that the ( Read more... ) -
