i.
in an attempt to encourage selflessness, they say:
"actions speak louder than words."
actions save others but words save ourselves.
we all have an irrational desire to rescue people
but sometimes it’s ourselves that need salvation.

ii.
there are so many ways to be brave
and even more to break a heart.
i don’t know how but you managed
to accomplish them all.

iii.
it takes only a height of 3cm of water to drown
so when our children play in the shallow pool,
we never let them out of sight
but we forget that we are 60 percent water
and more people have drowned in this body
without anyone ever knowing.

iv.
if Man is measured in degrees of light
some would be the greyest of grey
because no one can tell where their
light begins and where their shadow ends.

v.
someone once asked me when did i first realise
that life was short. 10 minutes past midnight
on a March morning, when i found out that
no one could ever possibly love you enough
for you to stay
(yourself included).

A broken heart
a hurtful wish
an ancient art
a deadly kiss
an instant spark
a hit and miss
a day at the park
a beautiful bliss.

Run
Wild, free.
Away from here.
Lost in this world,
Run.

Your dominance shows like a beam of light
I can't contain myself though I try
Your loving just feels so right
Your cool fingers drawing circles on my thighs

Resistance is futile, I must submit
Sighing as we change positions; we're a perfect fit
Let me stay here with you—you're perfect

Fingers combing through your hair
As you whisper ***** secrets in my ear
The sun is coming up as we play our game of truth or dare
You whisper: stay in my arms right here

And I am more than pleased
To follow your instruction
Because I don't desire to leave
I am drawn by your seduction
