Where life seems perfect

Here’s a piece for Black Saturday. When you’re down and alone And there’s nothing but darkness around When there’s no hope and no home And warmth’s nowhere to be found When you’re afraid and losing strength With all the pains coming through When you’re running out of breath But can’t find the courage to continue (more…)

“He described how, as a boy of 14, his dad had been down the mining pit, his uncle had been down the pit, his brother had been down the pit, and of course he would go down the pit.” – Barbara Castle Dedicated to the most hardworking but also the most misunderstood workers in the world-the miners. The rooster’s sound as my alarm Tick, tock, tick, tock The day starts with a cup to warm In my faded…

Note #14: They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. But I’m afraid I couldn’t satisfy my need for you anymore.

No man can learn so much Of the true meaning of loss Until he begets such And, of such, he comes across. No man can learn so much Of the true meaning of value Until he loses such With worth he barely knew. No man can learn so much Of a little gift’s worth ‘Til he sees value of such When, to him, value comes forth. (more…)

Note #14: Sometimes we become victims of our own emotions instead of being freed by them.

Some are happy to take a life, Some with a knife, some with a lie; Some are murderers of pride, Some are hiding demons inside. Don’t close your eyes from this truth As your demon smiles on you, The death of love, the taste of rue, That’s all that makes you. (more…)

Note #12: Trust me, I’m gonna be different.

No matter how much tears are shed, This barren land will not rise from the dead, Cracks form and ridges deepen, Out of life, every living is beaten. We held tight with thorns in our hands, Dripping tattooed stains on the sands, I can feel our hands badly shaken, And our grip continues to weaken. (more…)

Note #11: It was right after I felt the pain that I knew about love.

We can’t bet on both sides of a coin, Nor can we make both poles join, We can’t bend a piece of stick To meet both ends without breaking it. The earth can’t kiss the sky Unless we dream it that high, But we’re dreamers who knew that lie, Who vainly bid truth goodbye. (more…)

Thousand Miles (Long Version)

We live a thousand miles away And born a few years apart; We have different roles to play In each of our crucial parts. We sail different seas, We live in separate worlds, We trudge our own journeys, Yet we reached this crossroad. (more…)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. When love is true, distance will not matter. After it all, love will always conquer. We live a thousand miles away And born a few years apart; We have different roles to play In each of our crucial parts. We sail different seas, We live in separate worlds, We trudge our own journeys, Yet we reached this crossroad. (more…)

For all couples out there, keep the passion burning strong. Happy Valentine’s Day! Fairy dusts and magic wands, Temples made from desert sands, Gaze at the skies that never end, And to the stars we will ascend. This is the real fairy tale And together we’ll open portals To the world’s supernaturals, Straight to mystic seas and vales, No breaks, no bends, This fairy tale will never end. Like…
