The Storm
I captured the beauty of destruction In Saskatchewan, then I redrew it, scanned in my computer, added more effects using a program with highlighting and burning, then added my poem. if you look closely behind the last section of words I focused in a ghost-like figure. Trying to get over my fear of storms... didn't work though...

Scars
Every day it's the same routine
put on a smile that you don't mean
you don't want them to know...
you hear the hurtful things they say
when your back is turned the other way
and you start to feel cold...
you've got demons swarming in your mind
that you're struggling to keep inside
and you're losing sleep...
their voices haunt you in the dark
with hurtful words and sharp remarks
never fail to cut you deep...
cuz you could break a million bones
or spend your entire life alone
and they could stab you with a knife...
but none of these could compare
to a broken heart you can't repair
and the things that scar you for life...
cuz some things scar you for life
put on a smile that you don't mean
you don't want them to know...
you hear the hurtful things they say
when your back is turned the other way
and you start to feel cold...
you've got demons swarming in your mind
that you're struggling to keep inside
and you're losing sleep...
their voices haunt you in the dark
with hurtful words and sharp remarks
never fail to cut you deep...
cuz you could break a million bones
or spend your entire life alone
and they could stab you with a knife...
but none of these could compare
to a broken heart you can't repair
and the things that scar you for life...
cuz some things scar you for life

The Paradox of Love
My mind plays tricks
On this love i have kept
A susurous wimper
came along with its fears
Like a withered leaf
Falling from a tree
Our love died down
As i yearn to be free.
My heart beats
in a cleaŕ interlude
As our meandering journey
Have come to its close
Growth receeds
Whilst it reckons a hope
This flame died down
And emptiness became our very prologue
Your serpentine embrace
I will surely hold
Unto this mind where i kept you most
I shall love you within this reel
Till all feelings subside
And i became free
From the shackles of your love
That burried me.
