Like planting a bullet on the skull
Drifted from life's wonders

intoxicating blank canvases
with toxic scribbles,
releasing twisted tales
of suppressed troubles.

in satan's grasp,
kneeling on ungod...

trade crystal colours
in the stalls of nimble

I blossom as an

Love's Allure
...I always weep for you in the hush of eventide hills.
In their mystical muteness I can hear your heartbeats.
As tears indulge in indigo dusky deepening horizons,

walk through life, bearing unfaithful filters.

When it was time to leave I noticed, I was missing my gold band
I started digging the sand frantically, my wife she helped too

no morning melody.

preparing me for the storm,
which drowned my heart.

in a shallow stream
rain flows with raging winds
