The Fragile HeartThe tenderness of the fragile heart,
Resembles a historic yet dramatic,
Work of art as seen through the ages.
The portrait never shows broken hearts,
Devastation of death or the,
Heartbreak of losing a child.
The heart cries in silence,
As you...

The Seasons of Our LoveOn summer nights
Nostalgia's muse revives
Scent of jasmine
Fig tree fragrance fuses
Memories meander
Minty ice cream flavours
Add sweetness to hungry kisses
Star gazing to cricket symphony
Roof top whispers of love's infinity
Days drenched with salty waves
Sun flared skin...

Your words I once cherished, now haunt my choice.

No comfort is found, as darkness brings its...

You're a cannibal, baby,
consuming pieces of my heart,
chewing on my frailty,
and tearing me apart,

overhead with your eyes honed,
peeling layers of my flesh,
until I'm bare to...

It all happened so fast, just as my eyes can blink from green to blue

Be Mine Or Nobody'sEvery thought, every vision you will dream
must evolve around me:
be mine or nobody's!

Somewhere in a dusty cupboard.
Somewhere behind old paper, older words, and wounds older still.
Somewhere no one can find it.
I think about it, sometimes.
Sometimes, when I breathe.
Sometimes, when I exhale puffs of...

HimIn the quiet of the night, she waits alone,
Her heart aching, longing for his tone.

You make me think, oh babe,
Is...

These Silly And Shameful FaultsBeing so awfully insecure
among confident people
seems ridiculous and brittle;
I'm very humble by nature,
it will not take me anywhere:
I'll end up gathering crumbs!
I'm too stubborn, still refusing to pay
for these silly and shameful...
