She’s Always A Woman to Me

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me

A Barren Land

The ground is cracked out of dryness… lifeless and barren. The scorching heat of the sun burns my skin… and as the days goes by, this barren land grows wider and wider…

 It hasn't always been like this before…  I remember, like it was just yesterday, great beauty have once flourished here… the land was covered with greeneries and the air was fresh and full of life… Joy and laughter was everywhere…

But alas! I have allowed time and circumstances control my actions. Instead of taking care of the beauty before me, I looked elsewhere, thinking it would be fine and this beauty shall last forever. I was wrong!

Now all l see is a barren land…  I looked at the emptiness before me… stared at for far too long that I lost track of time… As I stared, I  wondered if I could ever bring life to it once more… bring it back to how it was…

I started to do something… but alas the barren wasteland keeps getting bigger and bigger… all my attempts seemed futile…

 But then again, a spark of hope have ignited… perhaps it is not as barren and lifeless as it  seemed, for when night falls, under the light of the moon, I saw figures wandering across the dunes. Perhaps, there is still hope. Perhaps there is life still beyond the horizon. 

Perhaps if could till this soil hard enough, life would return into this barren land once again…

Indeed it would, perhaps..
