The Quiet Tide
Some mornings, even sunlight feels too far; Her thoughts crowd close, a restless, tangled jar.

The Restless Fool
Now evening falls gently on streets that he knows, And time, like a river, continues and flows.

Two Moons, One Love
Beneath the first full moon, I looked up through the night,And wished that you were here to share its silver light.Though we may be apart, and distance bends the tune,My heart still found your heartbeat underneath that moon.

What Happened to Frank?
