Amaze your mind and stimulate your horizon.
Tonight we forget the real.
We’ll slither through the unknown.
We’ll bite death in the ass.
Then trick our way through the path to hell.
No turning back, we are stuck now.

killer
I wonder why it hasn't 
yet made its way
Into a horror movie

locked doors
Through the tiniest of 
holes...

It connotes one's right,

Joyful rainy night, rhythmic outside of the solo mind,
Drunkard glass on the table of grey-eyed stars and
I’m looking for the rising poetry to row moonlight

I'm ensnared in cobwebs crocheted with time,
Prostrate on wild moss,lies my woman sublime;
Stupored with cannabis and some weed looks like slime:
Life seems in darkness,unfit for the swine;
Her eyes prismatic hues,are the enchanting clues;

being a person that i never recognized...

Hour after hour
Day after day
Month after month
Year after year
The time rolls by
Leaving its footprints
On the screen of the universe
And we all

Can’t stop this scroll
Often we look back
Memorizing our 
Happy and sad...

A meeting of the quorum
We’re takin’ this place by storm
Got to get back to the farm
By hook or by crook

And it goes on forever.
Can’t get over or, by
Hook or by crook,
Around it.

My fevered forehead,
Pressed to the cool surface,
Can almost feel the dead
Hopes and dreams I left
On the other side.

This life...

And anti-corruption commission a hoax
They forgive the criminals on political grounds

We 
gather 
in towns
we congregate
in famous squares.
We are the new menace 
and we have chosen now 
to gather in this crumbling place.
For this is the year of the rabbit, a glorious season, 
a marvelous kingdom...

Coming by with that look
My inner mind in a shelf
That horrid stare I took
