With a soul woven in vicuna and cashmere
I am soft and solaced for you
Rest your heart on the trove of my love
Dulcifying and alleviating
Let us lay reclined here awhile
Debarring the din
And darting our eyes on us
Disregard your yores
And focus on our offing

I have honeycombs inside me
stored for you
Come and drench your love
in the honey of my heart
There you shall know the sweet
taste of love

Come, build a casa in me
Scarecrow our lands
Protect me from the night birds
And l’ll love you day and night
Love you until the end times
Come, build a casa in me
Let us fill it with offsprings
and the season of spring
More than anything
Let us fill it with Christ

When Karma gets angry

Time passes by and happiness seeps awayMy mind remains a vacant playground, allowing pain to come playEmotions come and go, day by dayAll I realise is I’ve intimidated Karma, and its my time to pay
