a Poetry Blog…
a Collection of Lyrics…
Some are stories and prosy,
Others are songs,
But they’re all poems and music.
This is a collection of Stephen Mullane’s original lyrics, poems, vignettes and other pieces.
Some of these words are accompanied by music.
Others march to the beat of the their own drums. Maybe someday they’ll fall in line and get in tune.
Still, others are destined to dance alone with silence save from what’s behind them.
