I descended the wretched trench of lies with willing defeat,
My heart severed too many times to ever even care
Of what horrors lay beneath

I face the unknown with a corrupt thirst
I have seen these familiar twisted...

a weakened shade made idle by the pause of its agile
host, named Nimrod, son of...

Molly suffers from depression
She's had it for ages
It's okay to sit next to her
What she's got isn't contagious

She sees you look at her with pity
But that isn't what she needs
She tries to look after herself

My words may feel so cold,
Yet this feeling of falling and then trying to be so loving
Eventually misleads me to feeling like she or myself 
Is gradually shoving my feelings through an invisible door.

Praise, a chronic disease
Ruins humanity
Increases sugar in blood
Spreads intoxicants in artery
Hangs a curtain before eyes
Hides truth.

Mind dips in self-enchanting
Always seeks false praising words
Credits
Clappings
Honours
Rewards
All treasures of materialistic world !
Mind guides the human
Mind commands the soul
Instigated by...

Wafting in the air,sweet scent of your soul,
Like a garden of lilac shrub and sweet pea;
Exuding my path, deodorant of your whole,
Like the path of African civet cat or hill
Of scent-born-beetles. You are not afar,

My heart is yours
For what its worth
It beautiful and cruel 
and it misleads many with lovers eyes 
to follow what they believe are stars in the night
Like fairys dancing in the dark

All my ardent desires
lie in her protective hands:
life, future, worthiness,

practical in severe judgment,
and understand that
