The Confusion of Adolescence.

22nd June 2021 Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com Let’s celebrate the celibate, those who have not cherished, Or lived, or lain in sinful pose, or loved before they perished? Remember those who cannot love, because great pain it causes, Who hesitate at every touch with long and stiffened pauses. Forget not those who live to …

From Another Viewpoint

Your viewpoint or my point of view? Ambling, rambling, almost gambling. Alliterations flow. But still, I do not know. I never have and never will. But then I hear you say, You know the drill.
