Coconut tropical oil 
Glistening on my skin
The scent intoxicates me
As I bask in the sun
And drink in the beauty
Of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea

It’s only for a short while
That I will lie here
And only because
I want...

under grey skies with perpetual rain,
I became a devotee to your magnificence.

Intoxicated with your romantic reflection,
my ink is seduced in...

I like the smell of leaded petrol,
pure, unadulterated,
the destructive euphoria of which intoxicates me
innocently unaware that it has forsaken me;
before I could realize that
olfaction influences gustation
and addiction is not a hoax,
I had become a car
that...

SMOKERS CAUTIONARY TALE
 
In the haze of smoke, a cautionary tale,
I weave a poem of the cigarette's trail.
A tale of danger lurking in the ember's glow,

Sav[i]our
The white winter mist encases my lungs, 
Like the smoke of my last cigarette did;

I’ve labored,
I’ve sowed, and watered
Now, I wait.

The sun shall rise,
My seed shall grow.
And the heavens shall open up,
To weep.

Bathing in the sun’s rays,
And rain from last night, trickling down the foliage,
That one drop hits the...

I fear to tell you
Why I go to the dark cave every evening.

If you must know
It’s because she whose heart mine is knitted with is a dragon.

She devours my fears.
She invades my mind...

But fair can keep lovers apart.

Normal’s a setting on washing machines,
But love...

Ink carries its own tale,
When moonshine intoxicates your pen
Bottles of ink fill your mind
Composing symphonies on every line
Drops of passion all over the mask you wear
Nothing compares to black stains...

You never ever
Shoulda walked in this bar
It's a million miles away 
From who you think you are

Red shoes with...

Glimpses of the sun dive into the clear horizon.
The moon petrified, from her golden throne, is a spell,
Step, queen, into the night that is just about to ignite.
