But
That’s all you are
I scratch the surface
To find something I can indulge myself in
Something more
Deeper, something meaningful
I scratch
I scratch
I scratch
That beautiful face
It’s beautiful no more

The sun is out
but the butterflies have all died
The blooming, the blossoming
the rustling greens have dried
The cold, humid, passionate
nights have all gone
Where once there was love
new love has been born
I do not despise you
I never could
I respect, and adore you
Wish you the best, I always would

Butterflies
In my stomach
Would go berserk
Each time
You said something
Each time
You did something
As also
Each time
You didn't

Cow dung
She hung
Between her legs
Dry leaves
She'd weave
Into disposable wear
Even second hand sanitization
Was considered better condition
So she ducked into the safety of unknown risks
Absorb, if it could
Wear it she would
No space for concerns, no choice
On one hand they say
Empowered today, we women, stay
On the other, stands she, in rural patches of ignorance

Thunder [x10]
I was caught
In the middle of my dream
(thunder)
I looked round
Hit with fear and excitement, I did scream
(thunder)
My mind raced
As I sat up in my room
(thunder)
And I knew
Tonight, our egoes come to a doom
(thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beating in the clouds
Oh thunder, what fun
It gave me a start
I've been
Thunderstruck
Building buildings and highways
Tainting jungles, moulding towns
We think, urbanisation'll fix us, yeah fix us,
and it would be fun
We set big goals
"Re"claimed land to build architectural marvels so fine
Broke all the rules
But weren't we the fools?
No no we, we, we didn't use our minds
And they were shaking all the trees
Witnessing this, I was pleased
Irate nature is feisty, not kind
I've been
Thunderstruck
And they were shaking all the trees
Witnessing this, I was pleased
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
It's alright, we're doin' fine
It's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, may we be, may we be
Thunderstruck, I've been Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
I've been Thunderstruck

It wasn't
important
that he was
doing
the waltz
and I,
bachata
All that
mattered
in the
moment
was that
our hearts
followed
...
each other's rhythm

Not every tree
has the deepest of roots
Not every leaf
belongs on the shoots
Not every petal
unfurls to reveal the truth
Not every flowering plant
will bear the same fruit
Not every bud
will necessarily bloom
And that's the harsh truth of life

Sometimes
In healing ourselves
We end up
Making ourselves stronger
Than before

My bubble gum
Little plum
Fountain of joy
She's down
With flu and a frown
And a hesitant smile
It's really hard
Breaks my heart
To see a little cub cry
To endure suffering
Crying, not lying but tossing
In sheets of discomfort
But her fervent eyes show
She'll regain her glow
Such a tiger, she is, at heart
I adore souls like hers
Loving, innocent, but terse
Every hindrance she'd outsmart
