Walked Away for Peace
I walked away not free from snags caused by those in authority, but to be free from cruelty to save my spirit against evilness  And injustice in power's grip Tied up by abusive six sprawling  division in command, footsteps no trace, only an echo weeping soul in the dusk! Harsh words dug deeper into my soul— sickening insults to my inner self— a burden carried within the shadowed kingdom. So...

Inner World Of A Tormented Mind
Like a dust that has been blown away If I only had the chance to really say But I can only stand on the dock of a bay Within this soul there is a empty world inside With no one near or anybody far Not even a single wound or a mere scar No love, hate or pride Just a place where...

Premium Member Escape the Topsy-Turvy World
We live in an upside-down world, I am quite dizzy being whirled; topsy-turvy, I won't forgive~ In an upside-down world we live. Just dance with me, it's relative, topsy-turvy I won't forgive~ with you and I we will be free, its relative, just dance with me. We soon shall sail like ships at sea, with you and I we will be free to speak of...

Amid the fire of twilight sun I wish I knew my way horizon’s char and moonlight’s shun has ashed my hope I pray for dark cloud constellation to free a steed for me to flee gunshot streets for primrose to steal my jaundice and burn the itch in roadside stars for me to follow scent and sight and find forsaken...

The Moonlight’s Secret
Within the thick rainforest’s living light, where leaves shimmer with soft emerald light, there lives a creature no one has seen, Luminara, the secret of the night. Its skin is like liquid moonlight, cool and smooth, tracing patterns only the night knows. Its wings unfold like glass petals, translucent, catching every glimmer of the forest’s glow. It moves without a sound, a flicker of...

All i need is an escape
Who knew you were an ammunition, A camouflage with a malice! I'm still numb from the revelation No matter how much I try I'm afraid that I might risk walking the path that killed all my dreams I'd reinforced spellbound by your lies! I'm locked in your cellar For the crime of conviction In the castle you built And...

Premium Member Wallpaper
My magical Chinese garden was small: tiny willows pagodas and mulberry trees emerging serenely from the mist pastelwise like Shangri-La over and over on the far side of an equally diminutive stream under a parchment sky. Slipping unnoticed over the footbridge at the top of the stairs I’d wait alone under the willow overhanging the bank ribbonfluttering silvergreen in the breeze where their wintry silences couldn’t reach me, hoping that maybe I’d meet another...
