Empty room

Empty room Thoughts Bouncing on Four walls In empty room I’m playing Ping pong with my imagination. Heart Full of wishes spinning around Seamless walls I am gambling With my feelings A house full of One person Trying to fill Empty spaces In the corners of my heart. Sign in to see full entry.

forgotten war

Epic hero of the Great War Picture of my dead uncle Proudly hangs on the wall Like some kind of hunting trophy Relating stories of gory battles Fought long ago in the trenches You stare at us all In silence, entrenched In a remote past.
