Colours of Love: Black
They say life goes on
People mourn, people forget
But that’s not for everyone, is it?
For some, it is too much to bear

the arms hugging from behind, the lips on that neck.
There’s snow outside yet warmth in that home felt infinite
Dancing, yet again, to that flop song
With that twinkle unexplained, those … Continue Reading
Summer Love
The Sun heralds another morning
Beaming all-knowingly with a sly grin
As the summer breeze wafts in
