Poems of Life and Love

Love lost, love taken, life lost and life evolving

Comments

Hi there j... I'm trying my luck here, and having a bit of cheek... but I've this cool idea for a book, part three in a trilogy, part one being Eish! London, part 2 Haikona! London and part three yet to be named. Anyway, as it's autobiographical, I was wondering if you would mind if I included some of your stuff in it? If not, that's cool, but thought I'd ask, in case you'd be cool with it :-) Please let me know. Hope you are well. On with the Cherries :-) $

 

More than welcome Shannan, my poetry isn't going anywhere else!

 

SCHWEET ... heh heh, only cause you aren't taking it there ;-) THANKS a million, not sure what I'm going to come up with, but I hope to have fun with it this time. Have a great weekend $

Love, Like a Cold Lamb Sandwich

She entered my life like a cold lamb sandwich Looking good but disappointing once tasted, The blonde streaked hair, straight from the bottle Blue contact lenses to hide those grey eyes.
