Mixed Emotions
Emotions can be such transient feelings They come, and then they go Like a ship in the night, or a storm at sea Tomorrow, you would never know.

A Different Kind of Love and Hope
For some, February is a month of staking a claim with the one you love and expressing your love for them. (I have never understood why there must be a special day for this.)

A Century on Vocal – What Is Next?
I made a century last week and didn’t realize it until one of my subscribers pointed it out. (Thank you, Sk Parihar). It may not be a notable achievement to some who exceeded this long ago. Great creators like Mike Singleton (aka Mikeydred) have 2,780 stories. He does so much for the Vocal community. Others like Paul Stewart with 1,005 stories, or the lady I call the ‘Mistress of Rhyme’ – Kelli Sheckler-Amsden with over 2,047 poems, far exceed my efforts. But hey! One hundred stories is one hundred stories!

50 Shades of Love
Words are hollow If we don’t know what they mean. Actions can be shallow. Thoughts are just emotions Traveling through our mind,

Kings of Pain – Are You Crazy or What?
Crazy or what? Many scientists have experimented on themselves in the name of science. It's risky business, though, especially when it goes wrong.

More Than Just One Day
I need more than just one single day To tell you how I feel My love is deeper than the deepest ocean Higher than the highest hill

If Only ....
If I told you that I loved you, You’d probably start to cry, If I told you that I needed you, You’d think it was a lie,
