My heart does not have legs and hands,
To come running to you,
To hold you tight.
It's every beat cries out for you,
Reflects only your images at every angle,
And if you shatter it to million pieces,
Only your visage will be seen,
On every piece.

Big shot,
Well! Your opinions matter no more,
Yeah!
I'm gonna do what I feel is right,
I'm gonna eat and dress what I like,
You oughta go your way,
I gonna go my way.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
You are you,
I'm me,
Me loves me,
Me matters most.

Lovers become best poets,
Shattered dreams,
Grief,
Painful tears that fall from the heart,
And seep into the soul,
They let it pour onto paper,
As poetry.

Was enough for the two of us.

Is sea,
With its depth, storms and tides,
Also it's treasures of pearls of love, kindness and compassion,
Constant joy and vitality.

Mum
After nagging us,
Making us clean our messy rooms,
Grounding us with no T.V and mobile for that day,
Mum sat with a cup of tea at the kitchen table,
Sunlight streaming on her tired face.
My brother took a candid shot of her with his instant camera
Seeing her photo,
We realised the true worth of our mum.
There was regret on her face,
Her eyes blurry with tears,
Here was a woman with unconditional love for us,
Who hated being harsh on us.

My owner is a good man,
He loves to take me for long walks.
Although he keeps me on a leash for my safety,
He lets me be free,
To snoop around bushes and flower beds,
For two things I have learned,
Not to be curious,
And stay clear of people who are afraid or not like dogs.
I let a loving hand scratch my ears and ruff,
Especially young pretty ladies,
So my owner can make friends with them,
I love to lick their faces and hands to show my appreciation.
At the beach I love to run along the golden sand,
Chase seagulls to the water's edge,
Or up to the sky.
Some children throw sticks,
And I play fetch with them,
Outrunning the wind.
I understand my owner's feelings,
When his affairs don't go well,
Instead of pestering him to take me for a walk,
I look up at him and sympathise,
I cuddle up to him,
Rest my head on his lap to say,
"Don't worry I'm here for you.'
