Sleep's gesture caresses cells
Taken to nearby bewilderment
Where stagnancy busily dwells

Liquid lambent shooting star forms fragment
Vapid vexations vanquished in fantasy's fire
Mist masked span transcends measurement

held in category's secure structure 
Dispelled...Read More

Pickles’ glow
pot luck flow
plates follow…

pressing
passing…

picks!

A wall of shame showing past regrets you cover and hide
A waterfall of sadness and sorrow that never dries it's a...Read More

we say we're not a couple,
but we had been living together 
since I don't know when.

by the way she breaks wind.
Now I'll say good morning, 
no matter...Read More

There're good deeds Heaven only knows,
Read by angels on wings blessed flows,
Scrawled midst thereto the Book Of Life,
Amen to cease one's public strife.

Where the guest in me takes a twist,
There evil...Read More

But he remembers the vile vomit coloured in pink


Blood and acid flushed away from churning bile

Give a security neither felt
Removing all our need to roam

Eyes meet as their passion soars..
Of the greatest heights..

While lovers embrace..
Sun kissed by the sun rays.
Heated lovers soak up the sun..
