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

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

to revolutionize an entire country away from his.
He bastardized his inheritance of stiffness and a...

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

To be seen at two o’clock.
I sat...

Pulls at our heart string
as greenery's hued in greener tinge

Even in your un-savable limbo, Oh lady of the lake
My soul unfurls, lingering
To reach you in the “medieval”
My spirit wilts and my heart withers forever
Because of the meaning interpretation and intention of your word choice
