kids breaking hard bricks

wind spreads gentle seeds

The essence of musk engulfs me;
Replacing the aroma of sea salt that once filled the misty air
I am...

Panther and snow leopard duelling with chess
Under a scintillating firmament
A dome of diamonds floating on infinity
Moonlight softly slicing the shadows
Illuminating their world of concentration
Alternating attrition
Pawn takes pawn
Bishop takes pawn
Rook takes...

To vt
How sweet is this divine duo..!
Let me complete the verse due
Ethnicity emitted elegantly
As they pose magnificently
Majestic bevy with hair cascadic

Royal and regal aura

As i'm up on the cliffs,
i get a sight of the town.

A calm day,
not even a sound

I sit there & ponder the profound

Who put 2 rounds
Into blue clowns

Do you dance with lies, where darkness hides?
Oh, you, the keeper of deceit,
Does my honesty make your heart beat?

Do you clutch the shroud of ignorance tight,
As my words pierce through...

Their Blood Cries
Jealous Cain killed Abel his brother,
piercing the heart of Eve, their mother.
When Cain to hide his deed had tried,
Abel’s blood from earth’s bowels cried.

Cruel tyrants, deranged despots,

full of sights somewhat scary to spook a soul wary.
