Could have, should have, would have

Travel theme: Doorways
Linking to : http://wheresmybackpack.com/2015/01/30/travel-theme-doorways/ The doorways to my mind Are clever books of any kind, Are destinations far and near That take me to new frontiers, Are conversations that stimulate Creative juices, to innovate; Are music notes softly played Their essence lasting after they fade I hope these doorways will eventually Enlighten me spiritually and intellectually.
Tangled web of ambition
Tangled web that I wove When to the extremes I drove To make the world dance to my tune- That web is going to chain me soon… Fueled by unbridled ambition Trying to get every dream to fruition Never stopping to look or care Those around me could not dare To show me a mirror ofContinue reading “Tangled web of ambition”
