Just another battle

Love is

Love is patient, love is kind until you mix it with the complexity of the human mind. Loves does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth yet it may not be enough to keep those human tongues from becoming loose.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres but human are rivalled…

Receipt #35

Hundreds of rum fuelled memories in these bars: from the stupid times downing whatever pint while my sports team egged me on, the civillised cocktails dressed up to the nines with the girls as if we were on Sex and the City, the late night deep talks that went in to the early hours with…

Streets in the Sky

The old building stands tall but gloomy instead of majestic like it once promised. An architect’s vision turned in to a reality granting him success.
