To up and away
When it seems resigned

Awakened Longing
The scene you render, serene and sublime,
Awakens a longing, untouched by time.

My soul aches for the soft touch of you.
Perchance an angel from realms above,
Sent to restore my faith...

ReciprocateI wanna wake up to the tune of your call
before the birds compose the morning anthem
dance to the rhythm of your love songs, at the blink of nightfall
Mesmerise my soul, with the sound of...

On His BehalfThree hours to the rooster's clock
Staring at the pile of blue ticks of yester-hours
Staring so hard, as to discover the colour blue
Wondering if it was him or you?
Three hours after
Still immersed in...

The Earth Stood Still
The Earth stood still
Dirty black shoes
Ripped up jeans
Stopping me on the road
We were so young when I first met you

Dark March nights
Birthdays in July
I was 16 when...

Quiet TimeBluebird, have you flown away
Only to return someday?
If that's so I understand
Yet I'll still be at your right hand
When, and if, you'd like to text
Waiting for what happens next
And here and there I'll think...

Why Not TodayMarry me Bluebird
I love you that much
It's you and me baby
Let our hearts touch
I know I'm a dreamer
I dream about you
And a day in our lifetimes
When we'll say, I do...

Be Free To ChooseDon't listen to bad advice,
you're allowed to make
the same mistake twice;
please, wake up for Heaven's sake:

be free to choose the life
that offers only...

and I had spent...

I miss youMy life, dull
My heart, empty
All alone, with only memories to accompany me
I miss the days we spent together
The fun we had,
The laughter we shared
And the nights we spent under the stars
I miss ur touch,...

Miss UU were the only one who could make my day
The only one who truly understood me,
Or at least tried to
But now everything seems dull without u
And everyday is the same
Old cycle of disappointment.
My heart...
