Dedicated ti my dog Einstein:
If I could spread as much love as my dog does daily,
it would be the biggest achievement in life!
My dog is overflowing with unconditional love,
bringing smiles to everyone everywhere!
He is very smart and always teaching lessons
This lesson is the most important one
- and it is what the world needs nost -

A cry in the night
Two full years of broken sleep
- Happier than ever
Needy newborn
Is it milk you want
Gotta stop that crying
Can't have you guant
Tiresome toddler
Does your diaper need tending
Gotta stop that crying
Can't have you mending
Chatty child
Is it an answer you desire
Gotta stop that asking
Can't have your mind in the fire
Testing teen
Does your ideas need adjusting
Gotta stop that rebellion
Can't have you giving in to all that lusting
Aware adult
What is your heart's passion
Gotta ask for what you want
Can't complain when you expect a ration
...of care

But, what if the sun, too, needs a savior?
Like an eternal gem that beams
upon dreary dawns set upon her,
draining every heavy lampshade
of stars within spheres.
A savior eternal, dawns on heavy stars…

You know what the Football World Cup really needs?
Goal! Goal! Goal!
with Bigger Goals!
Another yard — another meter—
on either side of the posts.
Bigger goals mean more goals!
More goals mean better football!
Goal! Goal! Goal!
Screamers from thirty metres!
Curlers into the top corner!
Thunderbolts from halfway out.
Goal! Goal! Goal!
That's what fans want to see.
Not defensive fantasy!
Not blockers lined up at the back.
Bring on attacking football!
More goals means fairer results.
Goal! Goal! Goal!
Imagine the score in Heaven?
5–7!
8–6!
10–8!
That's what fans play mega bucks to see.
Last-minute winners!
Goal! Goal! Goal!
More skills!
More thrills
More daring!
More drama!
More football!
Goal! Goal! Goal!
It's so ridiculously easy.
Just widen the goalposts.
when nobody's looking—
out a yard... out a meter... on either side
Go for goal!
Blight the nil-all draw!
Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!
Everyone needs a little hope....
let there be light
let it be bright
even through the night
even in great heights
a star is in our sight
I watch in delight
As i make my wish i say...
give me strength and hope
to broaden my scope
and help people cope
show them how to survive
without being deprived
give them the drive
to be revived
all they need is a guide
so they can stand with pride
it just takes a nudge
to get people to budge
Let it rain, the flowers need it ~

I've got my favourite music.
Let it rain all day all night.
I'll never be alone again.

I am not a mason though I might as well be
The walls I build are strong and secure
Behind them I live my life safe from my fears
I never tattered until I met you, then the wall seemed weaker
Like a snail coming out of its shell I tried to breathe
The air seems different now, it seems full of life
My walls kept me from breathing that life
Desperately trying to grow, like a weed through sidewalk cracks searching to feel
My heart beats for the very first time
When your near, I try to close the gap between us
Shy, like child, I hide in myself
I don't want to be this way, help me, stay with me....
Afraid to touch, afraid to feel, my heart bleeds
In the darkness there is a light that wishes to shine, to grow brighter
It wants to grow into something beautiful, but my heart is locked from years of scorn
The key is there for you, just grab it and it shall turn
I'm so scared for the lock to open, but if you turn the key I shall not run
A light begins to shimmer in my solitude, skies of bright blue in its rays
Never let the clouds obscure this feeling, a feeling I never felt before you.......
