William J Donovan

I die in little bits of me.
Day to day I never see.
Disappearing cells
never ringing bells.
Decades in a mirror
cracks will appear.

which she wove as a girl, are --

decaying with her.

Beautifully Simply You

Why would you want
        To be a flower
      When you’re already
   Beautiful

A lot of times we forget to stop
and pause and be thankful for
what’s on front of the mirror.

Be yourself
Be beautiful

Face crucified by time.
Mind stabbed by reality.
Life marooned by desires.

The more you chase love, the more it evades you.
