Dalapuri public kiss...

While bleeding nectar from its golden heart… and the...

While drinking coffee alone,
feel lover on the next chair.
Or in an afternoon alone,
looking at the sky.

Crying through a flock of birds and spreading personal memories. Or miss someone's hand while walking alone.




?Focult ?
I am painful, sadistic sad times!
I am the ...

Which people thought was weird.

'He's plotting! ' people feared.

Then at the tender age of one,...

Psycho 
The seat of the earth trembles in the sky;
The goddess was shaking
Afraid of me.
I want to go - to the sixth part of heaven, in front of God.
I have an emergency meeting with him.
I do not want to allow the gods to let me...

I see my twin brother
One thin screen in us
I pulled my brother with my hand
He's not coming
The tanks are not coming
I cry
I'm my blood
Do not let others spread anywhere

Yet he is not coming.
Asked me; What is mother
Whether the...

Make me one day
All the insults
I will return the whole!
Kick on my stomach
Not Holding your hands
Make me small
Quarrel with me
Hold down the tie
And every slap

Just double it
Will explain everything!
You're in the woods
There will be defendants
That day I got shake
I am godly;
You...
