Donna
Sweetest sound on earth
''Tis the sound of birds singing
Natures gift of love
Everything emptying
Emotions burn still
Life twisted into a Rubicon drill
Things started fading

As a leaves deprived by sun to live
My sojourn end with no laurels
Instead silence stare at me
As ocean turns dry

Sand swallow my body
I saw my spirit traversing
Into a narrow way of glowing incense
Many adore the smoke in a round hut like goddess appeasement

The quest was full of hatred
As my body was stinking
And decaying on termites parvenu
My alluring body gives in to earth deceit

Eudora
The sunset bids goodbye as
the azure sky takes on a tint of pink and apricot,
fading into hues of indigo and violet.*
The birds soaring beneath the clouds of dusk...
embracing the last few moments of today,
welcoming...
*the evening's crepuscular charm.

Eudora
You
You* *are in every pulse of her heartbeat and the
*rhythm of the murmurs in between.
Fading flowers
Earthy beauty
Chaiotic momentum
Ravaging the heart
Missing the fragrance
Heartfelt teardrop
Pouring like a rain

Fading flowers
Waiting on the rain
With a gleeful joy
Playing with the birds
Singing and dancing
Chasing melancholy
Nothing more but happiness
