sophisticated prosthetics advancements,
whereat integration of cultured stem cells

CHapter 14 King Ptoleny the 2nd (cont.)

Thus they charted weather systems 
Grey depressions bringing rainclouds,
Towering dark cumulonimbus,
Or the violent storms and cyclones
 
And in turn this processed data,
One or two days’ weather forecast,
Spirited across the...

he would still feel the ache

The one who hungers for flawlessness
even if he's attained mastery
he would still perceive defects

O souls of the Island, 
I have silently 
heard through 
tropical torrents 
and surpassed 
a million miles 
of the milky seas,

coconut-scented 
musings called...

Dear anxiety
Nemesis to my reality,
mental manipulator of tentative trust,
massacring my once sagacious soul -

A Effigy in crystal
abandoned
in time
fixed the twinkle 
shining crysolite eye
gentleness shown

old for his time
Sagacious voice
singing in rhyme
sits in shadow
lamenting 
her plight
serenading willow
A good...
