Forbidden
"Forbidden"
the knowledge
acquired
from the story
I’ve lived
is forbidden
to be written
I listen to
their voices

the rain transports
me as if it is music

lovers and their conspiracies
pulses felt
quills dipped...

Left of our Climate
Enveloped in the essence of twilight's hue,
Where dreams collide and realities seem askew.
Let me take you on a flight,
where words dance and emotions ignite.
In the machinations of current climate,
of decency in sunset's deplete.
Scoffers of...
