Heart and Soul

verse 1
I’ve put my life on the line
In the search to find true happiness
On a dream is where I’d dwell
I had my life on the line
It was all on hold and colourless
The darker spirits had cast a spell

I’ve placed a trust in myself
My life will not be lead in loneliness
The streaming tears must float away
I had a trust in myself
Life can’t remain so passionless
Until that time I am a stray

chorus
One can’t just force the emotion
Force it to a place,
Where it can’t blossom proud and true
It lays low then attacks
Attacks when it finds someone
Connecting strong with you

I put my heart and soul
To find the one who’d show me heaven
There were few who took me high
Heaven never heard my cry
My efforts were for nothing I could tell
And whenever fortune approached
I’d be brought down to serve in hell

Verse 2
I felt so blind to the truth
Naïve and young I wanted it
Because my life was bland and blue
I was so blind to the truth
Seeking all who I connected with
It wasn’t real love I knew

I’ve got a fire in my heart
Warm and raging, still alive
I’m alone, but I’m complete
I had a fire in my heart
It swung around, then learned to live
It’s independent to the heat

chorus

Bridge
The error of my ways was to
Seek compassion from another
My flaw in the day was to
Reciprocate from my lover
Yet all I ever needed was to love myself
With all my heart, from within my soul

Life’s just a series of moments
Mortal, null, and full of stress
A break to being must unfold
Life is a series of moments
Learn not to waste and self confess
So seize yours, don’t be told

Final Chorus
I have my heart and soul
I am the one who’ll show me heaven
With the one’s who took me high
Heaven never heard my cry
My efforts had been for nothing, I could tell
Now whenever fortune approached
I’m not brought down to serve in hell

No One Knows

Nobody knows the pain
you feel...

Nobody knows the way
it hurts...

It leaves no scar
they can see...

Nobody knows how much
you wish it away...

And nobody know how
it just grows and grows...

And nobody knows what it is
that you know...

Cause nobody knows the pain
Inside.

The Paradox of Failure

You have to fail more to succeed more. Our greatest moments of growth often stem directly from our greatest moments of failure.

Don’t fear failure. Learn to fail smart and fast—never fail the same way twice.

A House by a Pool, with a Distant Spire - James Webb

Dedicated to You

I don't like to be sad
   too much joy
       life too short
But now there are so many reasons
   death
     tears
       love
Hidden behind my veil
 my veil of joy
   but the inside
     is an ocean
Emotions pooled
 began as a puddle
   and grew
     and grew and
       grew
Overflowing
 I wish for a drought
   no more rain
     drip...drop
But you...
 you see this ocean
   you swim in it
     Joy.
Lightening the burden
 drying up the ocean
   making me
     Happy.
So-Be Merry, it's Christmas ^_^

The World’s Oldest Pizza Parlour

• Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, established in 1738, is the world’s oldest pizza place.
• Initially being an open-air stand for free-hand pizza making, the place turned into a restaurant in 1830 and was even visited by King Nasone.
• The famous pizza with tomato sauce, oil, oregano and garlic is known as the marinara, a name coined from the fisherman’s wife who prepared the dish for the husband returning from the bay.

Art has the power to transcend boundaries and ignite the imagination. Every brushstroke, every note, and every sculpted form tells a story waiting to be uncovered. Here’s to the creativity that connects us all! 🎨✨ #ArtMagic #CreativityUnleashed

“Whether they understand or not, still I’m making a conversation with them and me. I’m asking audiences to come and see and understand my history, see how everything is connected, and how even my war is also connected with everything” https://t.co/9Uw0cMYAHF

Just Say Goodbye

I can feel it slipping away-
the love we once shared.
Maybe it was just a dream
or an illusion to make myself
       happy
Maybe you really hate me-
maybe you were just being polite.
So much crap-
       no more
       all gone
Intense emotion faded....
into the abyss.
Soul mates,
       gone.
All eyes on me-never end
   walking
     slowly
       away.

A Suicide Bombing

An unimaginably loud explosion,
Is followed by broken glass,
And the screams of women and children,
Who are caught up in the blast.

They are caught up in a conflict,
It is catching up with all their lives,
It hasn’t asked for what it’s taken,
And it won’t apologise.

The people open their eyes,
Or at least all those who can,
They don’t want to see the damage,
Dealt by the bombers hand.

They survey all the bleeding,
They hear the cries of pain,
They struggle to comprehend this,
And they start to feel the strain.

A half a dozen are dead,
Fathers, mothers and sons,
And no one can answer the question:
In all this loss, just who has won?

What would drive a person
To board a bus with this in his head?
The survivors don’t know the reason,
Anyone who does is probably dead.

🎨✨ Celebrating the intricate beauty of art today! Every brushstroke tells a story, and every color evokes emotions. Let’s immerse ourselves in creativity and let our imaginations soar! #ArtInspiration #CreativityUnleashed

Tackling Art Block

Let's first understand what is Art Block.

In simple words, Art block is what you experience when you really want to create art or do something but can't figure out a 'great' way to do it

You can figure out a good way, but you're not looking for that and hence, Art Block.

people do confuse art block with a sudden downgrade in skill or will and it is surely not that.
