Wild Dreams

May 3, 2021 Annabel17 Comments

1 Before me awaits a heap of shapeless days, unseparated atoms capable of endless possibilities, I must seek the best of goodness and live with it. Behind me a distance bridge of leftover days, Separated peaches ripen prematurely without rains, I once traveled in wild dreams and lived with it. When the world turned completely… Continue reading Wild Dreams

The Greatest Love of My Life

April 24, 2021January 4, 2023 Annabel45 Comments

Along with our madness and wild flowers, there comes the strangest kind of silence, spraying every fiber of the beings and non-beings, calling for more.... I’d love to be the voice of a soprano singer, so I can move through all borders and see them vanish with every spell-­binding note. I'd love to be the… Continue reading The Greatest Love of My Life

Hijacked by Fate, she brought me there. I was sired and weaned in a Motherland, where I was not suppose to be, where a new identity was given, and where a wronged story began.....

The Trophy Child

April 18, 2020February 10, 2021 Annabel2 Comments

There was a time I dreamed of walking under the rain, With sweet tenderness by my side; There was a time I dreamed of running through the mountain, With wild strikes catching up behind; I dreamed of a dream, That my smile makes me enough; I dreamed of a dream, That my tears make me… Continue reading The Trophy Child

Lay down your head and I will sing you a lullaby, Back to the years of blissful innocence. I will sing you to sleep and I will sing you tomorrow, Bless you with love for the road you go. . May you sail fare to the far field of fortune, With diamonds and pearls at… Continue reading Let Me Sing You A Lullaby
