Everyman’s Rose
Everyman has a rose
on a thorny bush,
a rose whose prickles
keeps us alive.
We are tempted
but we cannot touch
this rose that eludes
our heart so much.

Memories
Memories are something
We all hold so dear
The good and the bad ones
When they reappear
The good ones hold a smile
The bad ones a tear
Whichever one comes
We still hold it dear

Sunset
The sun is perched
on the edge of the world,
its crimson colour aglow,
beckoning clouds of the night
to wake their sleepy heads,
as it wants to rest
itself for another day.

Two Hearts
Two hearts that beat as one,
which is what love is all about.
Two lives that intertwine,
never wanting to let one another go.
This is the genesis of love,
an everlasting one.

Colour My World
Many colours
colour my world.
Blue,
when I’m feeling sad.
Yellow,
when I’m happy.
Grey,
on those days
when I am lonely.
Black,
when I am depressed.

Early Works - Words Of Wisdom
Never laugh at others heartaches
even though they may seem silly and funny
because one day their heartaches may be your own
and they will not seem as funny then.

Old And New
Sometimes the old
have to step aside
for the new,
but also the new
have to realise
the old have feelings too.
Their approach must be gentle
or tempers will flair.

Challenges
Life is full of challenges
with every step we take.
Each day we wake up
to new challenges
for us to get through
and each day we face them
to win our way through.

Early Works - A Spy
A man with loneliness as a friend
who lives under a shadow
by his wits and his ears.
A man with a secret kind of courage
who blends into any scenery,
this is a spy.
