The Ghost Mirror

GHOST MIRRORS

Ethereal waves rippling against reality’s framed surface
Of the translucent, as phantom hands press, slamming at
The fragile glass of dualities deadened zone of existence!
A sudden shimmering, in...

Well What Did I Expect

So here it is
the passing of a day
this dull Spring day
and the silence pollutes my thoughts
while the depression dips poison into my oxygen

A curses ancient spell, a dark ruins incantation,
From ages long ago,
Beneath the full moons illumination, a single red

Upon the blossoming wolf bang, turning

Resonating through their ship's body

now conviction hammered home startdate
coffin unwittingly nailed airtight

Life As a "poet"

No matter how much

His Heavenly Highness
Yet sold to the Devil for these 
Measely prices our
Souls...

No Luck For The Masses

Reversed into a corner where there is no way out
