As the parched earth needs the rain
So the soul longs for pain
The pain that only love can bring
The one that makes the heart sing
...
My mum has a friend
I can feel the trend
Even as she unbends
It is in every message she sends
...
The only truth I never rue
I learned a lot when I turned to you
And when you did look back that day
I knew I'll never lack love today
...
As I lie on my back
My life flashes before me
Will this be what it is like
When I am a few score years old?
...
My favourite medicine man came in today
He offered me remedies to keep the pain at bay
He gave me a lot of TLC
...
What an exhilarating feeling
That the poets one foretold
This ethereal healing
My head is all but reeling
...
I get a double dose every day
But not a drop more lest I sway
It cures my ills
And my heart with joy fills
...
The solitary butterfly flitted from bloom to bloom
He sipped tender nectar and then lost his gloom
But every morn he would fret again
He kept fluttering to soothe the hidden pain
...
Adam and Eve wandered alone in the garden unique
All they saw was theirs
Theirs was all they saw
No one else had a peek
...
