WHEN SORROW SMILES

Written by Pharphelonus and Hastywords When life has knocked you to your knees Your outlook seared by unrelenting agony And the future seeming devoid of hope Clasp your hands and begin to pray For that’s when sorrow smiles When you’re helpless to help a friend in need Your cries seem like unheard pleas And the…

TORTURED MAJESTY

  Written by Pharphelonus and Hastywords I never realized there were so many romantic hearts out there! Hopefully, Pharphelonus will write more with me!     She was defined by elegance And she dazzled wearing lace But he could not strike from his mind The pain and anguish on her face   She had hidden…

HOLDING ONTO LIGHT

Inspired by a loved one but dedicated to all of those people in the world who don’t give up.  I know depression is a cycle, it is hard to be around, to witness, to be sucked into.  Many times watching someone go through depression makes you exhausted and leaves you feeling helpless.  But words do…
