Dial My Number
If one day you’re feeling sad, Dial My number. I can’t say I will turn your sadness into laughter, But I can sit with you all day. If one day you’re crying, Dial my number. I can’t say I can stop your tears from flowing, But I can give you my shoulder to cry on.…

When You Hear
When you hear that I have gone, Don’t look for me too far away, For I’m nearer to you than before. Look for me in the laughter of the children. Look for me in the bleating, Of the grazing sheep at pasture. Oh, don’t look too far away; I’m nearer to you than yesterday! Look…

Waiting For Your Call
While waiting for your call, I sat by the window pane, Near was a narrow lane, Where was a cat meowing It’s way to the wall, and then to the roof Of a lousy building Where lived an old woman. The cat tried and failed Again and again, Till it reached its ninth attempt. I…

Wings Of Spring
Today, I woke up, To the melodious sane, Twittering on the Hawthorn tree, Just by my windowpane… Reflecting the Sun’s warm hug, With a warmth so pure, Embraced my wretched soul To find solace in nature’s cure… For the tears have now dried, And my heart bears weight no more, So, I gently propped my…

Take Care As You Fall In Love
The trees have ears. The hills have eyes. The wind can speak. Just incline your ears and listen, You will hear that the beast tells lies. Lovebird, take note of the rain; And don’t forget the snow, But be careful of that lover, That you think you know. This was written by our contributing writer,…

My Clarity
In this insane world You’re my sanity, One I thought I’d never regain On this path You’re my destination. In this darkness You’re my light, A light I’ll gladly follow My words are not just words They become reality through you On my heart, you wrote your name A name forever stamped within me. In…

Making Myself Proud
Little me would have loved who I’ve become, and in the end, that is all that matters. This was written by our contributing writer, Luna Baic.
