Gifts

You didn't deserve the gift of my heart of my soul of my love of my words I don't deserve the pain that holding them in -for your sake- causes me.

The Ransom of Light

These hours are dangerous, when there is only the light we create to hold back the darkness, and somewhere between passion and madness is found the spark that tames the thunder and captures the wind and with them weaves symphonies, else these hours offer silence and hopes and dreams are allowed to wither and fade,...
