Village In the Valley

Village in the Valley left behind, and then it's a fine find
Mountain in the making...in the dark alleys of my mind

You're a flashlight
In the night
You are a friend 
Till the end
Bite the bullet
You're the village...

An Adverse World Uncurled

“I am NOT like my father!!!
You say that again, I’m going to kill you!”

Tozzath

Pellucid pachyderms wade across
the purpling River Manjees
and Tozzath watches from the bank, 
the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,
his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,
whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

Scared of the Dark

I have been scared of the darkness below
The sun glows bright and the wind will blow

In his well he called The Prison of...

What If - New Update

What if…

If fear did not guard and watch over me?
My seeds of shame and doubt
Would timidly venture out
And finally sprout,
But as they reached the light,
Like a vampire, would wither and die
Without the protection of night.

A Paradox of Time Reborn


The sun, resplendent in its blazing might,
Burns fiercely o'er a barren, lifeless waste,
A desert dry and vast where earth is scorched
By searing radiation, deathly bright.
No sign of life but one lone phoenix flies,
Soaring precarious, close...

that LeftElite will always remain conservatively On...

The Little You Can Know

Lack of luminous light love bought,
Darkness did give her a chase. 
Open to no one was her, 
Water beneath and air above.

Human Vs Society

Sometimes I feel so

Insignificant.



I have yet to understand why I’m here.

What’s my purpose?

Will I be forgotten easily when it’s time for me to go?
