Arabesque There are days when I can feel the salt spray of the sea sprinkle upon my lips a taste too joyous for tears Or when wind and spring’s aroma mingle at their own will lifting the air and lifting it some more there is no room for melancholy There are days when my laugh is soft and drawn from...

Empty As we shake the hand or buss the cheek of a stranger quickly a thought passes through our minds Is it the false certainty of friendship that licks our lips or is it in the unknown that intrigues us Do we open mysterious doors with curiosity or longing hoping to fill that empty gap that lies...
