Eyes with a hateful gaze Like a vile wind, you can’t escape it. Through the glass doors of victory mansion They stood like a coloured poster Too large for indoor display Yet manning the walls like a spy. It depicted an enormous face Of a man in his forties. Heavy black mustache And rugged handsome […]

Her voice was a wild tonic in the rain. Her hair was glistening. Her hands were cold and dripping. I leaned back momentarily into my lane. Daisy’s face looked at me dangerously. “My dearest one”. With a bright ecstatic smile. Increasing the loud beating of my heart. A damp streak of hair Lay like a […]
