    When is enough too much... by su2anne

    You rape and
    Pillage. Storm my very
    Heart! What is it you
    Want from me? Is it my
    Pound of flesh? I gave that
    Eon’s back… You are
    Never satisfied. No matter
    That I give all I
    Have.

    He sits in the
    Gutter of his
    Life. His
    Wings that
    Flew him so
    High lay bedraggled on the
    Ground. The
    Crown of his
    Head now nothing more than an
    Empty shell.

    Eternal dance by su2anne

    The weaver sits at her
    Loom. The
    Threads fine silk. The
    Colours tell of
    Baby’s breath and
    Mother’s milk.
    Time is
    Set aside.
    Sense of
    Self forgotten. There is a
    Story to be

    But to know the
