Of Quixotic Tales
Hello,
Do you remember me?
I am the woman you said you Loved.
If you dont remember that
I am the woman you said
Amazed Frustrated Mystified Confused.
I thought I was done with you
But tonight, just tonight
I think I miss you...
Do you remember me?
I am the woman you said you Loved.
If you dont remember that
I am the woman you said
Amazed Frustrated Mystified Confused.
I thought I was done with you
But tonight, just tonight

Excerpts from a Life Story
Ren walked along the street, the street she had known all her life. The cobbled stones were drenched in rain from the night before and the shops lining the street had not yet opened for business. It was too early in the morning for anyone to be up.
Ren walked steadily on- anyone looking at her would have assumed she knew where she was heading. All she knew was she had to find him. He could be lost and hungry and scared. This was not the way she had planned it. Eli was not the sort to go missing like this.
The first light of day peeped out behind the thatched roofs. Ren’s ears pricked at the sound of rustling leaves, near the riverbed. Her steps quickened towards the edge of the river. She saw an old man sitting hunched on a rock, rocking to and fro. Eli was looking intensely into the running water, humming an incoherent tune.
He looked up at me, confused and a little dazed. “Renni,” his face broke into an earthy, broken smile and said, “Look,” He opened his callused hands and I saw a blue bird, wings broken, lifeless and beautiful in death. “I didn’t mean to, I just didn’t want her to fly away,” A lone tear escaped his eye and fell into his palms, accompanying the lifeless blue body.
As we both looked down into Eli’s palms, he choked “Now she’s gone and I’m all alone again. I should have known better than to force her to stay when all she wanted to do was fly again.”

Conversations
“You said I am an iceberg.”
“No, I said you shuddered like an iceberg.”
“No, I said you shuddered like an iceberg.”
“Sometimes my shudder is all there is.”
