The sole  of my Soul untested and untried

Not trusting the firmament on which its stability stands.

So I must reach.




For a kind hand, a rock to assuage my...

The storm of the decade
The news declared.
Snow fall was heavy and deep.
Schools closed their doors
And the snow beckoned me. 

There is such a beauty

Gentle disguise and decorated smiles
Living pictures
numerous seeking reliefs

Silhouettes on the hall of fame
Red carpets
Royal blood seal of mystery

Shadows of...

Full engines ahead
strap on the boots
Captain Kirk on the microphone 
rudeboy knows how to dress in the fine-(butt) suits

He's got a fine tan shirt

She slept in a mammoth fireball throughout the night-
her enemies thought they had got rid of Kalisi,
