Painful memories of shattered dreams Unreciprocated loves, baffled screams All that wasn’t but should have been And all that was that I wish I hadn’t seen.

Choking tears that I never cried Burning me inside before they died The lump in the throat, the suffocation Life is cruel, the blunt realisation.

Not everything is what it seems Bright darkness and lightless beams Thus are the scars on our h...

Someone has to do the job. In a world where governments fail to protect their citizens, I believe I’m heaven-sent. All my victims deserved it and none of them is missed. How do you kill your own children to hurt your ex? How do you open fire on your own people to protect your position and title? How do you enjoy the luxury you buy from the money you don’t pay your employees while their children cr...

His molten gold eyes locked mine. Something was sweltering within as if a prelude to the unavoidable crisis. I knew now that I had made him furious even if I had had no intention. Perhaps I should have known better. His kind is different and anything can ignite them. As he stepped toward me, I stepped away from him. I wanted to run, but it was as if his incandescent eyes had somehow paralysed me. ...

Little snail, I am sorry I stepped on you. I was not careful, I was clumsy And now I don't know what to do.

Little snail, I really hope you survive I've given you shelter And I am trying to keep you alive.

Little snail, please don't die I hope your shell grows Stay alive, please don't make me cry.

Based on true facts... :( Hope the little one makes it.

I am not a toy to be used An object to be abused I'm alive and I can feel Don't play me at your will.

You loved me as a baby I was so cute and furry But I have my needs too And I also go to the loo.

You pull my tail and ears Ignore my pleas and fears Then you're angry if I bite Leave me sleeping outside at night

I don't understand your rules Humans to me seem fools If only you listened to what ...

Paul stopped his blue VW Polo in front of the wrought iron gate. As he took his arm out to press the button, he scrutinised the intricate leaves chiselled to the smallest detail in the massive gate. It was as if he was trying to extract answers from them.

He was visiting the local vineyard, whose wine everybody claimed to be the best the world had ever tasted. Cape wine and Porto wine were mere ...

You deny it, you can't accept It hurts too much to be true Maybe it's just a nightmare How could it have happened to you?

'Please, tell me it didn't happen Tell me this is all a bad dream.' You beg from the depths of despair Hoping it's just fate's scheme

But there is no denying Angry tears roll down your face Why you, what have you done? 'I did not deserve this disgrace!'

You recoil in bed, q...

A tiny boat That's how I feel Powerless Fragile Vulnerable In the ocean of life Sometimes calm Flat as a mirror Other times not Trying to survive In the turmoil of waves Drowning Surfacing Tumbling Unable to breathe It can't be controlled It has a will of its own. That's the mighty ocean. That's life.

It was your favourite flower Until your dying hour Light pink with crimson spots Like your freckles, sweetest dots And petals as soft as your skin. I always remember your grin When you held them in your hands Gifts from your family and friends. The joy in your sky-blue eyes A heart that knew no lies, Like the innocent child you were Believing evil could never occur.

You never lost your glee It ...

My name is Justice. I stand for the helpless. For those who can’t speak The vulnerable and weak In the hands of the heartless Victims of greed and malice.

You may say that I don't exist Or that I take too long to occur But understand it if you can When I'm in the hands of Men They turn me into a big blur And I'm unable to assist.

I am always nearby I am not out of reach Just a bit of goodwill D...
