My Relationships Are Hard guest today is J.C. Hannigan. Love is what we all want and crave. To get love we have to give love. It is a two way street. But if I had to pick something just as important as love it would be communication. This is a wonderful piece and I am…
The guitar strums The rhythm slow Carrying us On musical bubbles Through night’s sky Shaded purple haze Dotted starry life A foreign journey To dreams uncharted I like how you move You step into me Stare into my eyes Do you like them?
