Long Ferociousness Poems

Nothing moves in that heat.

It is the end of the school holidays
Nothing to do;...

I am truly concerned
as i leave my Laskrizon
but,it is a three day's journey
my next black moon destination

I trust all will be well
in my absense

Ahpla and pack more than capable

A dreary journey thus far

The moon has eclipsed my face
Expressions lost upon the relevancy
Of each personal strife that I encounter

I reach out
The intensities of my suffering I shelve...

before speech swallowed your thoughts,
before a million rules and regulations
strangled your spirit and stripped your flesh.

where the uncontrollable laughter lies,
where mirth hides behind each corner and
where spontaneity springs...

I am comical with the nature of being fickle
I am delicate and dainty, my spine sometimes jells
My bravado wobbles and wibbles
Life being me sometimes tickle

A birthday wish for a very special
birthday girl. I hope it comes true 
because you're the best girl in the 
world.

Beauty and brains flickering like a
seductive flame, the beast in me is 
tamed. My ferociousness...

I do not pine 

till I glance upon thee in mind

They went in the lap of dreams
Blood! Blood! everywhere..
Cries are so loud; mourn itself is grieving 
Mothers are quiet; longing and holding their bellies 
 Blood! Blood! everywhere..
Humanity is dead; humans are dead
Flowers are dull;...
