For you are to be held up in
Judgement
By they so empowered;
Whose hot genes spilled from
Incumbent towers
Upon a warring continent -
The Sovereign house thus 
Pared and deflowered!
Thinning the blue bloods flowing 
Within the veins of royal...

When I met you at my door,
I was hit in the core...
The way you looked at me,
Made it feel like it was meant to be...

Sitting here musing
Advanced as we are

Your knowledge you wish to grow
Look at your phone it will show
The time of...

Pondering tulips

She pondered a tulip,
its petals a’ gleam,
on a path through the forest,
alongside a stream

When the trees started smiling,
her heart skipped a beat,

their message discreet,

The enemy at close range
Loyalty sold for a piece of meat, a coin or a good dose of gossip

When I was a child 
We had little in means
So all my investments
Were in fantasy dreams.

A favorite of mine
Was told by my pap
Of a Sandman who came
Whenever you'd nap.

He came with a bag
And a mission,...

I've got something wrapped 
around my finger
It's to remember my phones tapped
and to be wary of the stranger wanting only to linger

I've got a penny
for my thoughts
It's for the boatman
when they silence my opposing thoughts

People often ask me about my favorite poet
Let's see if you can guess
He's nothing like the coventional ones
Or even, any of the rest

Everyone who saw him knew his name
For he said it a million times

Sly as a fox you might be
Turning and twisting your words around
Toying with your fate and destiny
Till everything pulls you down

Words of prayers you sent above
Hoping no one see beneath the lie
Tricking and fooling the...

But too cute to give him a lecture all the time 
Sweet and...

How about if time thinks out of the box
  Let it be cunning, as sly as a fox
Instead of forward, shift into reverse

Under my pillow is where my tooth, I must keep
I imagine she's tiny, not...

In order to stay alive,
she had to be as sly as a fox,
as she lived in a cardboard box,
controlled stress,
an old mattress,
dirty old clothes,
a book or two,
as hunger shows,
dirty water for drinking,
while death is floating,...
