Neither a fable, 
Nor a tale, 
This is a fact,
A story to tell,
To everyone, female and male.
To generations, younger and frail.

About a threat, a monster from the East,
That struck the world like a beast,
Attacked Europe...

God’s Fire!

Most accidents are avoidable,

All my relatives believed in, 
God, Jesus and the holy trinity, 
But since there is...

“Hello, my name is bisexual”. “What’s your name”?
Annoying name tags! 
Who do I wear this name tag for?
When throughout the day can I just snatch it off?

Never because it’s tattooed to the right side of...

When he was four and in Tunisia, 
Which left him in a 6 month coma, 
And paralysed from waist down. 

He left hospital when he was six,

Romeo

'When truth can't help someone,we have to lie'
Until the moment our chance is denied

The volume key to his life low,
Romeo seems to be like a sheep, polled

Which abound in stores and on cards,
That we hear on Christmas Eve,
From churches sounding for their services,
Reminding us that there's a story behind it. 

A bell can be rung to...

Then the outcome will be undefined. 

You can’t divide something by zero, 
The divisor should...

You became human through breakfast and poem
As if desired to be a transfused memory
Next to where I discarded you,  

Unnoticed, a incomplete short story, 
Some lack of narrative.

I remember the nurse,...
