I've always 
wandered in 
venus' orbs, 
searching for
the star-seed 
of my spirit that
has forsaken
it spiritual 
sanguinary and 
caged every 
fluorescent flicker 
in a sculptured
sanctuary of 
materialistic
metamorphosis. 

Wondering - 
what am I, 
in the camouflaging
shades of...

Antiestablishmentarian inherent malevolent violence
wracks human species, a most brutish and nasty beast

Lays out mind restriction 
But will only bring friction

With the utmost diction
Elaborating the reasons for stitching a heart that needs fixing
The slightest concern never...

Words For Those With No Voice

For every pair of shoes
All the burnt bones and woes
In the millions, in the mud

Our god abandoned us so
Mother father
Sister brother

A simple god so slender and symbolic
having a one way onslaught in his approach
and toiling with the master-class of the game
to revolutionize an entire country away from his.
He bastardized his inheritance of stiffness and a...

Depression hitting it's hardest, who know that it would

Wreck a family, it stabbed like a knife so...

Before I got flu!
I made an appointment and was due,
To be seen at two o’clock.
I sat...

Nature smiles in Spring
Pulls at our heart string
as greenery's hued in greener tinge
Having had an everlasting effect

Almost seems to sigh...

For the longest time, I could not speak your name.
I could not write it; I could not bear to think it.

What is? 
Fortitude. 
Let that sink in for a while. 
Missed the mark. Damn names,

Even in your un-savable limbo, Oh lady of the lake
My soul unfurls, lingering
To reach you in the “medieval”

Because of the meaning interpretation and intention of your word choice

The sound out-hauls the band
The beat of corruption much allowed

White in the day but black at...
