Unrequited Unrequited
When a broken heart longs for that which cannot be held, one is overwhelmed by a melancholy which is not easily dispelled, for such a spirit is hopelessly unrequited... Photography courtesy Dave Leiker http://www.flyoverpeople.net/galleries.htm
Blind Alley Blind Alley
I composed Blind Alley at the request of a father who lost his son to drug addiction. Drugs: a tortured life leading to an early grave and endless sorrow for caring friends. (Photo: "Forgotten Songs", Sid Das Travel Photography, www.sidpicky.com)
