Your sorrowsMy friend, how deep can be your sorrows?
Through smoke filled maze of modern days
When time flies by in bleary haze

Nowdays, instead, to my...

Dear Levester, Post-Humorous Letter
Dear Levester.
On last night, while in bed before falling asleep,
my mind became filled with thoughts of you, and
My eyes were filled with tears. The thoughts were
not thoughts of sorrow and the tears were not from
grief.

Elegy to GramsIt's been forever since you went —
To the other side in a heartbeat —
To return the life you've been lent,

Of your name, dear Kasiita, my heart's lament
In my darkest moments, dressed in black
Cold winds howl...

STAMPEDESTAMPEDE
Beneath the moon’s pale, a requited glow,
A hyperbolic crowd begins to grow.
The sphere is aired with fear and haste,
A storm of bodies, my qualms displaced.
A million cry, a sudden shove,
To venerate order, stripped of love.
