Diffused Sham
When you came I kissed the thunder under the over-bridge of Tiger passing plaza The tea smoked the pains of mumbling slogans of the passersby On the neck of the naked sky the toxic lips of white clouds dappled the bloodshed napkins No room for memory to reap the chain in the yellow book to recall the stolen verses of trunks By the cadence...

It's a Sham
Oh, what a Sham, a fragile charade.. A hollow masquerade we choose to parade. Truth submerged in the depths of deceit.. Masks of deception, veiling hearts deplete. In the shadows we dance, oblivious to the game.. But within the Sham, souls suffer in shame. Dare we unmask, reveal our truest self? Or forever be lost... beyond reach... beyond help?...

Perchance
Glorious world with sacrilegious act. Untamed people with staled facts. Courageous ones are dismantled for instance, Fictional ones are too fiction to rant. Vigorous thoughts following with stance. Humorous ones are hard to track. Smart ones are too much for a glance. Cynical ones, they never last. Forecasting weather with a chance. Hoping for a future with an incapability to adapt. Drafting dreams while breaking...

Premium Member The Sham of My Humanity
Evergreen flavored mantras did nothing to purge bitter bile from my lips nor slake the smoldering thirst for a Rosary remedy. Tick-tock petals unfurled one by one as your poppy shed its last sepal releasing a scarlet sigh across sunset skies whilst I placed a tender kiss upon your twilight. If but for your gossamer bloom in persimmon perfection, I would...

Premium Member My Shadow
This shadow that I see with my back turned to the sun. He represents me without fault and does not show my thinning hair or blemish on my skin that's there, or any hidden thing, or any other secret thing that's hiding deep within. My shadow is the perfect mimic, knowing what it means to show the...
