In Death Do We Part (Poetry)
If they’re to call our love a sin Then how can any one of us win? If our union is doomed to fail Let’s throw love to the wind and sail In death do we part just the same As angry mobs have us now do Life’s oft a bitter lonely game Unless one and […]
Emerald Eyes (Poetry)
Emerald eyes, you turned my blue skiesTo black, the ground to scarlet redCut my heartstrings, left me for deadTwice fooled by your vile disguise Emerald eyes, you became my viceSqueezing my skull, crushing my mindUsed to say you were such a findWho knew attraction carried this price In a city so far awayYour emerald eyes […]
