Footprints
I look back at my footprints, Which showed my progression. A better one indeed, Learning how a life proceeds.   Know that yesterday isn't tomorrow. The past chapter is closed, A new one might start soon. Put on a smile and go.   True colours comes out When a problem arises. A sudden courage appeared to solve Those one by one, it brought peace.   Heart untangled from the ties Which...

Dust To Dust
If your heart was a diamond, perfect and clear, glittering gleaming like a broken heart's tear, if lust was coal, dusty and black, would it make you realize you want to come back? If music was woven with golden thread soft... like the locks lay upon your head I would listen all day... and through the night I would play it once...

One Regret
I wanted to fly and be a fighter pilot From my youngest age Shooting enemy Soviet planes down Before they could nuke us The sky called to me A lofty cavern of air and clouds But my dream was just a dream For when I was 14 my eyesight went bad I couldn't see the blackboard And had to copy my mates work I had...

High For Life
You're not satisfied Eyes lacking passion A burning sensation replaced with ice Our intensity reduced to a mere glance sitting in silence where the chatter used to live I am an afterthought. Letters you sent her While I laid in wait I am patiently going mad Waiting for you to think of me first You’re wanted more than I The attention I crave is trapped by your...

Every Single Day
Every day I walk with people. Maybe not side by side, Maybe not in the same stride, But we are walking step by step. Together. To reach To find Our own stars In our own time. We all speak to each other Every single day. Either through a glance Or through not giving one. Every single day We all say “I am finding my place.” Every day I dwell in a...
