in a sculptured

caterpillar, a
camouflaging
hiatus of muse
midst karmic rainstorms.

chasing subconscious 
liberty in...

What lurks inside a single tear?
Look closely and you shall find
Polluted waters of yesteryear
Daunting dreams that remind

Look closely and you shall find

A desert flower shrouded in black,
she exudes the sweetness of a rose.
And sidles away from my approach,
her emotions hidden by a veil.

In Monolithic monuments are the bringers of the derelict dawn

Your Spying Eyes

Human satellite camouflaging black cloud,
always in passing tear bursts,
secretly scans through a...

I'M Back
Last year you beat me up
And poured vinegar in my cup
Last year you humiliate me
And hire criminals to torment me.
