Surrounded by lifeless walls
All seasons stand still
I am no longer human
Society pays the price...

I reside in a black cloud
That brings me closer
To death descending into

a darkened tomb His prison cell,

Shiny water of sea-green
Your smile shines bright in the rain
A wandering soul
Write treasures in your dungeon
The edges of doubt are sharp...

Make me a prisoner of your blistering love

So

In the dungeon of your arms, my freedom
To find!

The world latest vampire;
tackle him in all fronts,
treat him as a leper,
tag him a murderer,
take him to hell's dungeon,
till the world's peace returns
to me, to you, to all....

Trapped in a dungeon, his help she sought --

Dragon-fly! 
Dragon-fly; 
Why are you chained
To the dungeon walls
And why you wail
In monstrous bays.

See my charm

trapped at the bottom of a dungeon 
around 301 AD, bringing Christianity to Armenia.
What madness then drove him to save the king and his men?
What boundless love!...

My mind is a slippery slope
Once in, it’s hard to get out,
Set in layers of intricate meshes
You’ll get entangled in my evil ways…

Out in the open
That’s where real things happen
Not in a digital dungeon 
But where birds sing
Then inevitable evening
Canister and carronades
The flag is lowered
The candle fades  
A wisp, an ember
If not August
Pray September...

Two 
Blue 
Velvets 
In the sun 
That shine so brightly 
Under the shade of ocean blue 
That caught my charmed heart into the depth of her dungeon 
Like a child longing for mother's tender touch, that does not care about what lays in store...

ASCNYC fortifies me
It regulates words glowing from my head
It translates itself as great help
Helping one and all
To climb from dungeon of fear, to
Mount floors with open doors
Like arms giving warmth
ASCNYC rents center stage for you and me.

In one piece hopes collecting tears 
In lost of dreams  as all  face  inner limits
All  become a piece tides in  nonsense war

As all in one piece gathered broken pieces
In tears lost of  love  our precious lives
Made us one piece against dungeon of darkness...

Trapped in a dungeon
With chains drunken
Tipping a glass of wine
Thought’s intriguing
then wondering
If time will ever pass by
Hanging over a cliff
Balancing my time
With handcuffs on
And bars now closed
Drunken am I
Trapped in this dungeon
from drinking wine...
