I learned what I fear today:
Intimacy. I can’t seem to face
my raw emotions bluntly; in fact
I despise them for being unpoetic
Why be vulgar and direct
when I can hide behind my

Look For Dominance

It's always seems cool to be fair;
If YES isn't going to be a NO,

I don’t do somebody’s actions
Neither the Commons, nor the Lords

Oh my sweetheart ! Your glance pierces my heart.
I read your heart when your eyes go glisten.

Wondering what I am going to say.

She is always asking, "What did you say?"
Embarrassed to take her out anyplace

As a man of half knowledge,...

Into the quiet distances, choking off any possible growth.

Then from the heavens descended
A window on a string...

By soul sucking muntins.
Perhaps it is a prank d...

MY ROSE OF ROSES

Could it be Forever and always a rose?
Aah a rose? Ooh my rose of roses.
Mysteries mystically they be extreme
