A Poetic Narrative Part 1

I took a long walk one Sunday night. Down an alleyway illuminated only by the fog reflecting the Moon. The buildings were old and my heart was broken. My hands were shaking and my scarf was strangling. I didn't want to tear, out of fear that the cold streams would freeze and turn to daggers [...]

Until then.

This one is for you For whoever you may or may not be Our hearts beat along to the same rhythm Perpetually swinging, flinging to and fro Sing to me a sweet new song Whisper to me so that we may delight In each others innocent touch That first day that our hands meet. I [...]
