Oh glamorous thief
You have stolen all my dreams
And hidden them each
In your obsidian keep
Where I search for them in vain.

therefore he has no answers

All questions for man

Smash the glass vase in
Your rage, but this flower's bloom
Was not in vain; it
Dies—wilting to gift you its
Scent to save your sanity.

Swipe In Vain

Listen to poem:
mozzie squadron fleets
roaring overhead in droves
dive to ear in waves
scream whining hisses so loud
that my swipes beats my brains out

How Are You

The dreaded question
Stains your every peace and bone
For you fear the love's
Gone, how long will you remain
Just to see was it in vain

I Scream

The stars outshine a pale moonbeam
We try in vain to touch our dream
We live each day
To hope and pray
We shall end it all with ice cream!

Since the day I was born,

Is the day my mother won.

A mother who gives birth is born again,

Because she is a mother she lives in vain.

There once was a Greek so to Speak
A weird kind of dominate freak!
He yaps and complains
Then argues in vain  
Til Boring's his middle name!

Vain Glory

In vain,
The entire body had taut veins,
For vain glory,
Brought immense pressures,
To cut them down to size,
One looked for a good thresher.
