Backgrounds and Roses

All that was left was the love for music...

Was in Alba on Saturday 

And came across an empty church

Chiesa Della Maddalena

No longer used for Masses

All that was left 

Of function that is

Was the music hall...

Other shots of Alba, Italy.

Banners for the Alba Music Festival on display...

Antiques and the not so little green man...

There's still beauty left here...

Against the beautifully lit sky,

With the Alps in the background,

I saw a sight I had never seen before,

It was breath-taking.

A landspout (I think).

I paused my dish-washing to snap shots

By the time I had finished the dishes, it had gone...

Photo taken in Turin, Italy.

My camera does not do this justice.

Pining Away

Five out of five sat at the dinner table,

Four out of five were emotionally stable,

Three out of five had great stories to tell,

Two out of five had life going swell,

But one out of five had nothing to say,

That one out of five was pining away,

For love and acceptance that should have been there,

But the four did not know it, they were unaware...

Could all the hurt felt be unnecessary?

Imaginary demons that haunt the soul?

And yet the effects—cardiopulmonary!

Eyes dilate and fingers turn cold...

Alas for that one, one can only hope,

That that one may keep the boat afloat,

Amidst the storm and the cold dark tempest,

Imaginary or not, when life seems bleakest... 

Passing From Sight...

Slowly she fades away into the light,

Very slowly passing from sight,

Not even a memory will remain,

Will all her tears be in vain?

Perhaps it's best she's forgotten,

That no one remembers she was ever begotten,

And they can go on with their lives,

Free from the guilt that caused her cries,

To go out silently into the night...
