Domeniko Theotokopolous found fame
El Greco was a taken name
He loved lettering
thinking thy made.his paintings sing...

my
love
aborted
what of this
mind contortion
mental abortion
slide a little closer
tell me of your closuer
sculpt me another poser
pedaling all my words
lettering into herds
fabricating sound
chains unbound
through
the galaxy
shove me
into
my love

Writing organizes my endless thought.
Worth disappears when considered unclear.
The writing lettering is a threat brought.
Writing organizes our endless thought.
I deem that human form is all I've got.
Understand every coin has two sides here.
Writing organizes my endless thought.
Worth disappears when considered unclear.

The headline read: “Low deposits and fair repayments!”
The offer of a lifetime, the promise of a lifeline for you and those you love.
But “deposits” aren’t just in money when we’re low in depositing care,
“repayments” still reek of capitalism when many don’t see their “fair” share.
The advertisement seared in bold font and burning lettering,
reminding us to always want more – there’s nothing worse than settling....

It was there
In the pinnacle of that darkly moment
From within all sectors that comprised the universe
That years and years on I had yet to know…

Its secrets were embellished in fancy lettering
Skyjacked by great shock I was
Before the effects consumed my well being

I scrutinized the shape of which I had taken
Finding myself that fully clothed within trench coat of riddles
To neither of the questions had I obtained the answer
Only a wink of desire...

An obvious thing is what you decide, 
but a pious cling is what you reside. 
Why should we abide?
 
Yea, I have heard the lot of your wail in near cot, 
but why then you shall vote? 

I have waited for your writing, 
Love, but then I found myself sad, 
as you were just mad lettering, 
I have no more reason for glad.

I am still trying to reveal 
everything that hidden to this vision. 
Starting by knowing you, 
but ended up in meeting God....

By reason of
Yours truly, mumble
Via you're stunning
That is wherefore
Yours truly, is lettering to you
Your red sweet lip
Have yours truly drool
The minute yours truly
Gaze at the strawberry
Yours truly, will need a bib
You are quite charming.
Your smile was made 
To keep yours truly pleased
And yours truly cheerfulness
Was made to keep you smiling.
From the sun day to the moon night yours truly, always with you
In view of the fact that yours truly is a spotlight...

Mossy vines camouflage decaying headstone
Thus hidden and fallen into disrepair
Foliage ever swallow so it cowers
Deeply weatherworn lettering embraced there

Threads of piercing light filtering through windblown 
Limbs surrounded by trees, ferns, and wildflowers
Strewn mounds of decomposed fallen trees below
Cool nature's spirit aspirating showers
