In a sea of time, where the waves of memories crash against forgotten cliffs,
There exist those rare beings, lost between the niches of destiny and the shadows of dreaming,
Never fully rooted in the fabric of society, never bound by the dreams of the night.
Souls that seem to have been born before the first accusation of time,
Before the heavens drew the curtain of indifference over their curious eyes,
These beings move like shadows of an unknown, unseen hope.
Their open acts, like the leaves of an eternal tree, anterior to time itself,
Seem to dance on the strings of an unheard melody, a song of eternity.
No one thinks to employ them, to catch them in the net of daily utility.
Their gaze melts the future, transforming it into a flowing river,
A reflection that cannot be caught, only felt in the depths of the heart.
They are the noblest, the most disquieting, echoes of an unknown universe.
Through their eyes, we see a time that does not obey the rules,
A world where hope and loss intertwine,
And in that labyrinth of thoughts, we discover the magical melancholy of existence.
Black me, colored world
I crave your affection
I am tough as rocks
I still have a soft anterior
I want to cry
Fill a pond with my shed tears
My molecules are vibrating
I am still frozen
My smiles are leaves
The world autumn
They all have a goal
Why is my compass broken
Lonely me, they all have a companion
Dear reader, when you read this
I hope you find company.
I am an artist,
I cry in letters
The pain I know
Its sealed vacuum
The worded tears the world sees
Are just stringed letters.

He’s a natural actor of mental shortening,
reasoning is covered in shame when viewing the mirror.
Insanity, his behaviour’s ancestor
with imagination more abhorred to logic.
In his world,
every accurate procedure seems to be an annoying error,
a corridor is placed at the roof top of every building,
film casts are censored in a movie’s end;
Italian made blazers are worn and tightly tucked in
and a nation borrows armory from its own enemy of war.
The posterior side of his thoughts is the anterior side of foolishness,
he may bring amusement,
but his doings are capable of springing up human disasters
All in the Name of Style
By Elton Camp
No male would ever endure submission
To his foot in a plantar-flexed position
Wearing shoes with four-inch heels
Willingly enduring how bad it feels
So that his gastrocnemius has grown short
Meaning normal walking it does thwart
The tibialis anterior and soleus activated
With results that will come to be hated
It’s stiff the Achilles’ tendon has become
Because to style he unwisely did succumb
Female folly shoe choice does betray
So she always falls when she runs away
Writing a sexist poem I have tried
One whose truth cannot be denied
For doing it, I may get some heat
But I don’t have corns on my feet
Hola habibi como estas?
anoche te soñe una vez más
te miraba como eras antes
llena de gozo y con esa luz radiante
luego pensé en el día anterior
cuando una vez más te declaré mi amor
pero te miraba mientras trabajabas
y solo queria escucharte decir que me amabas
pero tu indiferencia era grande
como si mi amor fuera llegado tarde
solo quiero volverte a decirte
que te amaba y nunca iba a mentirte
Habibi tu eres la mujer de mi vida
por ti haria todo lo que me pidas
estaria dispuesto a cualquier cosa
solo por volver a besarte mi hermosa
recuerda que puedes contar conmigo
que en mi siempre tendras un amigo
ninguna mujer podra sacarte de mi
pues tu eras parte de mi existir
siempre te llevo en mi corazon
y solo tu tienes la llave mi amor
no me olvides solo eso te pido
siempre recuarda a tu niño
todos esos momentos de alegría
y todas esos lindos momentos de harmonia
cuando me decias que tu me querias
y lo que en tu corazon sentias
The particular stride of which the ways of the wicked are standard; I have seen in many;
I have seen the baneful step by step choreography of the ways of the World. As an anterior
position is taken, the impetuous pedestrian makes his way, leaving only a path of
devastating ruin. Noting the posterior role of the urgent courier, the worst is yet to be seen.
The neutral function of the ambassador, promises to be one of the most encouraging
positions that one can delight in. The Almighty saunter is that of which only the meek can
comprehend. God Almighty, voluntarily humbled Himself to be that of our divine, equal. His
precious steps never leave you nor forcefully thrust you into a hasty pace. His thunderous
but soothing steps are always parallel to that of your very own. Therefore, I
Know the Lord Will always walk with me and I with Thee.
