Grasping the night would be rather restless.
Your sight crams me, my love and fiery foe.
If ardor was aimed to be creepily hotness.

Fallen
...I write of a love that's two cigars short in a box
With a chest of smoke and loves to lay on a bed of Roses

Dumps for homeless migrants,
Debased and inferior.
Was beauty ever part of you?
This throng, that...

The very thought fills me with such fear

not crackle his crocodile skin.
Crazy kids combine their fares

that shoot sincerity one second, hate the next

Holy Me
...Unrest in me
made me so and not that,
in whatever doings and whoever is me:
