Sound of Songs
Amoretti Sonnet
Antilamentation
Bells
Success Amidst Hurdles
Bent, Not Broken
Can't
Threads
Within my mind's eye
When One Door Closes
The Look Of You
Beyond The Naked Eye
Love
Sunrise, Sunset & Rainbows
A Dream within a Dream
The Tail of a Bird

Poem of
The Day

The Tail of a Bird

A nest high up in a tree,
Nothing special, but now it's mine,
Because she was forced away.
Looking at a man, a boy, a dog,
I'm free in my own world,
Flying through somebody else's world.
The inspiration of a poet, a song,
As I pose on a wall, observing life,
I sing a tune, an attempt to put smiles
On a face I've never seen before.

And I watch an old friend of mine,
Encircled in her own metallic world.
No. No space at all to fly.
And then I think of us,
Endless days chasing each other,
Listening to the lovers under our tree
Talking about love, kissing, hugging,
While we sang our song for them.
Goodbye my friend. I must live on,
But I will never forget you.
