Long Grandfather clock Poems

What is a life to you?

imagine a future with someone?
A wife or a husband,
a child or ten?
An exaggeration,
but love is different to everyone.

The girl looks over her shoulders
And scans through...

Simulations and Symphonies

Discussing life inside a simulation
Amalgamating strife with signs of humiliation
Confronting life with positive configurations
An enchanting wife that doesn’t need invitations

Caring for what others naturally overlook
A watchful parent, a well written book 
Beauty that...

but now incurious thoughts are strung across her mind
and there they hang, a washing line of confusion

	And seeks to convert me
			The werewolves and...
