A Possible Life

September 12, 2020February 10, 2021 Annabel2 Comments

Darling, it was a disaster. That unbearable, dearest secret has always been a disaster. The hazard when we try to escape. Hanging over and over afterward what we should have done instead of what we did. But for those short times we seemed to be alive. Misled, misused, lied to and exploited, condemned. Still, through… Continue reading A Possible Life

Two Eternities

August 3, 2020February 10, 2021 Annabel5 Comments

Seasons come, seasons go, All day long, I can hear that souls’ echo, Calling me home. But to where? My life had been a story of survival, All my years I kept my own counsel, I’ve tasted my tears, covered by nights’ heavy pillow. I’ve tested my fears, hidden behind dawns’ soft meadow. And if… Continue reading Two Eternities

A Love Consummation

July 15, 2020February 10, 2021 Annabel2 Comments

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love, and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed. — Jiddu Krishnamurti . Who has never eaten his bread with tears, Who has never, through night’s wretched hours, Lay on his bed and… Continue reading A Love Consummation

The Portrait of A Woman

July 1, 2020February 10, 2021 AnnabelLeave a comment

She could be any woman at all,  Somedays off-guard, all days on-guard.  With her hands stroking or strangling and maybe  with her intentions half-hidden.  But she is as she is. Her gaze is always  Distant away from its pupil,  And what she's really after  is you to love her.  She reflects who she is. She could… Continue reading The Portrait of A Woman

La Vie En Rose

No, you don’t talk, you listen This summer is uneventful, as many before it This girl is imperfect, as many before her But there is a song keeps her alive, proudly sung Spring casts this magic spell with voice softly wished, be heard For better or worse, she sings a life La Vie En Rose… Continue reading La Vie En Rose

Can A Secret Be Forgiven

May 12, 2020February 10, 2021 Annabel1 Comment

Through the eyes I feel your heart in mine A gentle knock on the closed gate Demands a secret be seen . But sometimes I feel so small I raise my hand, jump high Still can’t touch the sky . I feel so small I try to fight, toss behind Still can’t reach the end… Continue reading Can A Secret Be Forgiven

To The Five Year Old

May 8, 2020February 10, 2021 AnnabelLeave a comment

Five year old I know you are good at laughing, monkeying around, better than anyone else You are made happy even with the shallow offer of a funny joke Yes, you are that easy to be satisfied . Five year old I know you are made of a sentimental heart, full of lively impulses You… Continue reading To The Five Year Old
