Pre-puberty years
Playful innocence 
Warm ready embrace
Quarrels, aberrations

In the game of one-upmanship 
Need to win...

Submerged in the flood of the maddening crowd,
I see a verdant valley carved out by covert ingenuity
within my lonesome mind, drifting away entranced,
displaced from the still stratum of suffusing sound

My soul wanders in the dark alley within me,  
plunges in the abyss of discontent.

In the part tonight 
all the eminent guests arrived
with their best apparels on,
full of illimitable mirth.

one moonlit night i was spawned, 
a fallen angel with desecrated wings...
a changeling child, my eyes glistening menace...
and God shuddered when he saw me, 
raised his arms across the heavens, and spoke:
"and then...." he said...
"and...

from the curved cauldron of the seamless sky,
the silver embroidered satin tapestry rolls out 
from the cornucopia of the falling night,
