may you see the light
of which your dreams shine from the night before
as golden as the blissful sun
wrapping you in its warmth and glory
may you feel the rush of love
you expect from others, from your self
like the glistening river
that flows into the unknown
may you feel the hand of grace
touching you like the summer’s breeze
as surreal as the colours of the sky
breaking you down to make you feel whole again
may you someday find your heart
even when everything feels like it is falling apart
with the soft summer’s breeze
to pink your cheeks and warm your soul

her eyes danced to the rhythm of the flickering flames
trying to stay lit despite the crack in the windowpane
wallowing in the sound of fire and this luminous portrait
across the room of her fears and her faith

we’re told we are round pegs in square holes
with minds and dreams beyond our years
so we grow to be into the world
as wary right-brained wanderers
oblivious misfits looking for romantic nooks
versions of our own leather-bound fears
seeking tales of the past and fantasies of the future
isn’t imagination real beneath all its layers?
soon you grow up and find your truth
this life is yours and not theirs to choose
maybe we are round pegs in square holes
with minds and dreams beyond our years
so breathe you, breathe to the rhythm of your soul
live not to be liked, live to remember
we’re only travellers after all
with borrowed time and experiences to treasure
then why live to be liked
when we can live for ourselves in golden measure?

i see your eyes dancing
to the flickering lights
as the shadows shimmer
on our balcony tiles
rocking on your heels to
the rhythm of the night
simply radiant with
no sorrows or lies
you make sacrifices
seem like your prize
breathing love and gratitude
into our days and nights
but oh baby girl
you can’t always disguise
all those dreams you have
for the sake of our lives

to the eyes that feel,
and the romantic hearts that see,
there’s a silver lining

What is it about
fleeting emotions captured
to have and to hold?

Waves come crashing on
moonlit shores and sandy tides,
songful yet divine

Amidst the chaos
and confusion thrives magic
and dark illusions

All those days we talked about our endless dreams
Where worlds lit up and rainbows never die
We'd talk for hours, cause that's what best friends do
We love, live and grow together as one
We fight each other, challenge each other
Never as much as we would fight for each other
We'd talk for hours, cause that's what best friends do
Come rain or sunshine, we'll stand together as one
Through high school dramas and mid-life crises
We found that balance to beat the odds
We'd talk for hours, cause that's what best friends do
Even on our darkest days, we got through it as one
I'm lucky I found my best friend in my mum
I'm truly the luckiest one!

She wanted to watch the sun rise, he escaped as it set
He held her close on her darkest days
He gave her hope that she could find love again
She laughed again, out loud, for the first time in years
For he held her close on her darkest days
He held her close on her darkest days
He gave her time, he paid attention
He broke the walls and calmed the storm within her soul
For he held her close on her darkest days
He held her close on her darkest days
Only to free his hand from hers when she finally learnt to dance in the rain again
She was his project and the end was near
For he only held her close on her darkest days
He held her close on her darkest days
The flowers bloomed but in her soul deep darkness loomed
He promised her sunshine but left her cold rain
For he only held her close on her darkest days
