Life often gets things in the wrong order. Sunrise and sunset - our source of wonder. The rays of the sun diffusing across the skies, a night's memories erased at the exact moment of sunrise. Love never dies but goes on forever. Time flies yet we met not then but later. The world rounds the …
The Ocean Spell
Mysterious and dangerous Your unfathomable blue has captivated my curious heart When I fall into your deepness sinking, struggling I stop to doubt my emotions and begin to feel the tension Formless and endless I have no clue for why I am breathing hard When I dive into your darkness flowing, gliding I …
