WHY DO THEY SAY THAT WE SHOULD LISTEN TO OUR HEARTS...

Why do they say that we should listen to our hearts?

Who did what wrong, can we figure how or when?

Why must our journey reach this very sudden end?

Who did what wrong, is there anyone to blame?

Why do they say that we should listen to our hearts?

When all that it’s brought is unhappiness and pain?

Why don’t we get glorious sunshine, instead of rain?

Who did what wrong, is there anyone to blame?

Why is there gloom where there used to be champagne?

Why is there loss where there used to be much gain?

Why do they say that we should listen to our hearts?

It brought us so near.

It brought us miles apart.

The Rhyming Dictionary...

THE RHYMING DICTIONARY

On a rainy day in February,

The post arrived,

As customary.

Through the letter box, came

A Rhyming dictionary!

The perfect home for many a word.

Truly,

A sanctuary.

My search for words,

No longer arbitrary.

The flow of my pen,

No longer stationary.

Poor of the tongue, no more!

And such possibilities

To enrich my vocabulary!

But who could it be,

The sender of such gift?

Of which, I obviously am,

The beneficiary?

It could only be that Huckleberry Finn,

Whose friendship I can only term,

As legendary.

Thanks Annikki.

Indeed.

For you truly are,

EXTRAORDINARY!

The City Sleeps...

*********

The City sleeps,

Shedding

Unwanted nightmares.

The City sleeps,

Nurturing

Thousands of dreams.

The City sleeps,

Traffic lights

Yawning,

Absent,

Timid.

The City sleeps,

Longing

For a new day,

Dawning.
