Verse 1

Faded jeans and old kicks,...

oh how I romanticize the idea of you,
a happy-ever-after-kind of ending,
a fairytale love story of you and I,
of a prince charming to take my hand,
gently guide my steps to a waltz,
kiss me in the moonlight,

Chained emotion locked in seclusion; 
Down-trodden, feeling defiled, and sunken 
Deep into the bottom of grief and lamentation; 
Life so vain, skin so pale, and broken. 

How have you lived with the might that you...

Defying Aphrodite

I died prior the day I lived
Suffocated even before I breathe
the chants of your heartbeat echoes vanity
stating names, which never meant to be 

He knocks through my window
Chase the odds against time

Ecstatic eye of night
thoughts tangled tangent
tint of orange moon
slivers were just hazy
incipient learned launch
as the querulous quirk
indented ingress idly
still desperate to capture

though never flagged...

I can't imagine myself living high...
until I have little strenght to dive

which I watch from this steel bridge;
living high on a smooth edge...
'till I'm exhausted by fear!

Let the life roll;
uphill or downhill;
never frown;
Let the life roll;
in altruism of a friend;
in blessings of divine;
in caricature of fun;
in divinity of oneness;
in elation of an opulence;
in fathoms of wisdom;
in giggles of an innocent heart;
in...

 Stepping her tender footsteps to earth, a mesmeric 
rendezvous where sun, crystal blue sea and golden sky

Embarrassed, humiliated, disgraced
By the lack of things
I came from

Humble, my family was humble
With meager possessions
No luxuries or waste
No suffocating expense
No extravagance

I longed for brand names
Like Levi’s and Wrangler
Nike and eventually
Under armor

I can’t be sure
But now...

Like the Zephyr of anewly-dawn,
have you seen Her?

Had you seen Her,
a messanger of the horizon
more unpromiscuous!
The honeymooner of Twilght,
like a wingless angel in the morn-light...
Had you seen her coming
In the mirror- In her swing!
"Sweet-Serenade",
to emanate...

Lo! Death resides atop that lofty hill  
Expanse of Donn, the ruling god of death.
With eponymic marble monoliths-
Desideratum prodigality.
Profligacy! A lifeless lavishness
Which doesn’t make a damn difference
To the conquering worm. Your loftiness
In life, that...

Cleanfill and cement
selected pigments of orange and blue
a stiff chilling sky blue hue
to create a scenic spektical
beauty
marks the walls a sight for
people to admire
perfection
and style Phor-Lustoreteaze
the sight of marveled perfection

the lavishness
and her beauty
makes grown men
crumble...
