Her cognition is sporadic
Longing for her to relax
And display calm tactics
Lay on my chest like it’s a hammock
When she isn't calm
I can't stand it
Cause behaviors like these in women
Can easily become habits
It won't happen to...

Let Live, Forgive

Live life to the fullest...surely I will. 
Some people would say take a chill pill.
I'm leaving my temporary home...
I need a friend with me to roam...

By my side...

Getting me all perked up, but at the same time, a bit of jealousy
I am deserving of no one and I know you'd disagree
Getting me...

A dogged stance had made the beast retire
as disappointment filled the devil’s veins.

His raging storm had faltered in the face 
of fierce resistance,...

Trompe L'oeil
I use to be so sure of my colors
But now my vision is jaded
Perhaps it is obscured
from the THOUSANDS of tears I've shed

I taught you
the primary colors, RED, YELLOW, and BLUE
The shades of red...

Same-O
Same-O
At work
Usual crew
Let me just do some mind numbing task
so the hours could hopefully not be felt 
scratching at my back
parading in front of my face
reminding me how much of a bore my life is

Her hair was red, frizz with frost
Crisped, solidity, warmth was lost

Porcelain skin, eyes of deep blue
Hair falling in wisps, reminds you of someone, 
you likely once knew

how her voice danced, twirled dangerously in a box

As armies continue to march their sanguinary war
lifeless lay those as sinewy gore,
pinnacled soldiers atop a land possessed
making themselves feel they've been blest
	
Bittersweet is the toil of progress
especially for those unacceptable to less

Who has the ability to make me catch my breath, 
Increase my steady heartbeat, 
Send a wave of warmth deep into my core.

For my Dear Friend Robby, though you may never read this...it's for you. 

When you have been cold for so long 
You sweat under blankets for hours
And still feel the chill ache between the bones...

Each single morning on my way to work
I fantasize what happens in New York
If I were to spend a long weekend there.
I'd ask you out of the blue, not despair.

Once passionate lovers, can we be...

A fortnight back, an evening drove me to Sernabatim shores,
To calm my mind’s fury that was churning galore.
There, I listened silently to what the ocean waters were...

"The Haunting"

What happened 
was a crime
in more ways 
than one

who can understand 
the mind of a recidivist
twisted, calculating

of a thousand 
cutting knives
the turn of the...

Falling towards the bottom, my...
