Silence speaks louder than noise Odour smells faster than scent Clock cannot be referred to as time And liquid is not always water But I know in my heart I am who I am 9 Likes 2 Shares |

TIMES UP; Surely, I felt the pangs of an old mans guilt, My world surely now on its final tilt, My parents weeping, my kids in pain, My thoughts bloody, my fears reign, I peek into the shadows, the reaper lurks, He then whispered to me while hiding a smirk! 12 Likes 1 Share |
