The Craving Scoops of Cream- Based On Strawberry Ice Cream
Fresh and flavourful organic strawberries
Ground with the berries of our hearts,
Do blend with majestic creams
To celebrate this sweat-pouring afternoon
With a nice dish which feasts tongues.

This dessert is both life-giving and life-threatening;
She strengthens our heartbeats
While touching our taste buds;
And kills our precious lives
When she reaches only...

Moneylender (Poem Based On Shylock; a Character From Merchant of Venice)
Moneylender 

You were rejected by your fellow man
A pound of flesh to heal your wounded pride
A just reward for squelching on a loan

Your hatred toward these men-- I understand
Burns deeply in your heart and it resides
You were rejected by your fellow man

They bully you, so...

belief which becomes a 
substance,for what is and 
what is not are based on 
belief.

A Note To Self - Based On India Arie's Song - Get It Together
A Note to Self
You and you alone 
can make the change
in your life to make it
brighter! 


Self
Self you need to try a different angle
Years of trusting the wrong person
Has left you frazzled and depressed

Enough
Enough self-inflicted wounds on your heart
Cease the long waiting to exhale

Unforgettable-Based On Silent One's Poem
One day I decided to go and sit in the park.
I sought fresh inspiration and a new muse!
My decision was the perfect panacea done on a lark.
In no way would my spirit this time me refuse!

I sought fresh inspiration and a new muse.
Out of nowhere...

Limousine Ride (Based On Comfortably Numb Scene From "the Wall")
Slashed lines’ frequency extends 
Neon-freckled wormhole ride 
Unstable tide rocks the set 
Slashed lines’ frequency extends 
Ivory starlight, synthetic decay
Shape distorting abyssal cry
Slashed lines’ frequency extends 
Neon-freckled wormhole ride...

Sympathy For the Devil- Based On William Butler Yeat's the Second Coming
Burning and burning in the widening grave. 
My hero ends cannot hear the hero;
Foes fall and get pulled apart, this card is centered in my fold. 

Named anarchist, as released upon the world. 
This was before blood-dimmed for every vessel, and everywhere.  
Before heaven's...

Just give me a frozen river
So I could skate away
Then give me a minute more

I live here in a verdant land
We never do see snow
So I'll make a lot of money
Then to another place I'll go

I want to see the...
