Fair Game
I am The All-Mighty, The Ever-Exalted, The Supremely-Eternal.
To me belongeth the universes, the heavens, the earths, what dwells in-between.
Jinn and Men, I have created, for a sole purpose; duties internal and external.
Worship, glorify, bow,...

Amidst the binge of the champagne, and the glitter on the faces, she heard the 
distant lullaby. Glistening repertoire of appreciation elated her, but her soul had been

Riding the wind, she smiled stealthily
Her hair veiled most of her eyes
But they spoke of words unsaid,
As she vowed to tread
From mystery heights to surging depths
She roamed with pure solitary faith,
Her hands had wept for...

Three. Two. One. Screams of excitement, with a little bit of death in each roar. Disturbing the serenity of the big blue sky, piercing the atmosphere through a rebellious dive. I let gravity take control,...

Lay a horror unexpected to anyone who peered,
A chalice of old silver containing a rotting hand
Surrounded by gold coins and ivory contraband
Stashed purloined treasure of one who steered,
An...

the conversations are rolled into the corners
stretching into a fifth dimension
perpendicular to all points
this is where i love you
curled back upon itself
unavailable to the eye
the physicist’s graven image

I can't take it anymore
She is so lovely in every way
Just by observing I have
No words she's like the sun
Filling me with energy! She's 
So bright too ,when I

Genial to avoid confrontation
Baseborn kind, complaisant character
A spurious recital, a cheap imitation
Apocryphal mind, and comical creations

Divested of the...
