If I could change the world,
A question, in solitude must I reflect upon.

Cherished is the night-20 titles

Cherished is the night,
Whenever I see you smile,
that's when I know
The reason God created love

We looked into each others eyes with love

Our future was a lovely rose unfolding
We had many wonderful dreams
Our life's had...

My cherished tomcat went missing
I sat at home in floods of tears
He’d been my devoted companion
I’d had him for so many long years

So I put up some missing cat posters
Around the village and in the...

Rise Above It


The world exists in constant flux,
a yin and yang affair;
at times, the sun shines warm and bright
and sometimes rain brings dark.
And like the weather comes and goes
in forms, some good some bad,

We talk in a world where no one will hear. 
Made so deaf by what we all feel and fear. 
We're dark smoking, popped bulbs at night.
Burned out, shattered, spreading no light.

But no one stopped by, no one ever...

Keep no expectations from others,
be like a tree that even supports the branches
that do not bear any fruit.

Those who envy and criticise, 
maybe they are unsuccessful, with unpleasant past 
and that...
