Are the seat for a well much wide and...

Passion and compassion vibes flow
Let the flowers grow, you know?

"The Familiar"



Softly ever so Softly 
on hardened paws
Nemesis

as if with...

Solitude lies entombed in rolling waves 
Speaking...

Fractured, and torn
Inside I am warn.
Branded and burned
But it’s not your concern.
Splinters sting inside of my heart
Not sure how to pick them apart.
Seen so many lies draped in smiles

A pen may be mighty, and the tongue may be strong

The smile which graces upon the...

living without an organ in its chest.
I am soulless like roadkill.

In the service of ambition
From a man whose God is power,
And his name...

Wanted to have his...

Their dreams may be only words to some
