Imagine brutal rainbows
Irises defy...

The light of delight
Strenuously seizes
The dusk of sorrow....

As moth to the flame,
As rare jewel seizes light--
Captivating wife!...

Devoured to nothingness
The heroism feeds upon my future,
All seizes and decomposers commence....

One autumn night,
Years in the future,
They’ll come to a place where moonlight seizes,
And change is among the stars...

tender of the bow…
variegated waft of heart
slowly beats faster…
   precipice of violin
      seizes upon the valley...

Animals just know
The praying mantis looks above
The clam closes down
The turtle’s head hides inside
The spider seizes the fly...

I stand alone					
not as you think you see me			
I am not that strong				
as fear seizes me, looking			
over my shoulder at you....

Midnight blue eyes gaze
Cerulean water streams
Yearning for descry
Of the amative sight that 
Seizes his heartbeat

I loved you once,
I love you still.
Always have,
Always will.

You took my heart,
And broke it to pieces.
Now all I have left,
Is pain that never seizes....

Summer parched my dried lips turning fastly into rocked salt
Grasping for the water I kept for a moment like this one here
My mouth seizes the droplets that remain in my canteen...

Flames sifts and seizes all, mankind’s desires burns through all 
All is exchanged for fire, for fire is the highest priced gold 
With a pearl within the flickering flames, still and wailing...

Darkness falls across the land
As terror seizes the great old clan-
Monsters awake under the night
And doom falls with evil might.

Percieve the screams!
Behold the evolution!
Humans taking evil shapes
Beneath the pale moon....

scales slither and slide
stealthily seizes poor sap~
sleeps with shared sights shed

Storms are raging on a placid and sunny day
The bloodshot eyes scream the clouded grey
In the heads we hang on the necks we sway
A crowd of hurricanes smile n seizes the day
The streets are flooded by streams of dreams
The rivers flow into the ocean of silent screams...

Anxious worry seizes my heart
Now my pulse quickens and wavers
X-ray my chest and find my heart's compression
I try to calm down but it's simply no use
The stress builds and the world spins
Every thought pushes me deeper into panic
Yesterday it was paying for my groceries...

What is coincidence but the recognition of a unique presence in action? A presence that doesn't suddenly exist, but never had a beginning or end. A feeling of warmth seizes us; this feeling we claim is rarely experienced, yet we forget that warmth hasn't left us since we took our very first breath....

A monster in our midst
it knows no borders,
flouts the strictest checkpoint,
shows no pithy,
its tentacles of horror seizes headlines,
sends shivers down the spine of those cocooned.
Despite all this there lurks an inner zeal,
emboldened human mettle on the march
that bullies such ?as these can never match or ever bargain for....

Into a frail boyhood,
The moment seizes us
More than we grasp
Its shady edges.
Little by little,
We undress the bruised knees
And the warm wounds
To the grown-up day
That winks at the kites.
Take one handful of bitterness
And some silver frowns
Throw them into the face 
Of the undimmed wheel
And the splashes of summer laughter....

a creative muse seizes me
before I am fully awake
before I can seize the day

she has brilliant grandiose ideas for us
ideas I could have never thought up myself
I am grateful I am a Gemini

my the other muses get involved
arguing and slapping, finally stomping each other
I close my eyes and try to regain my sleeping position

the muses laugh...

Forever seizes
a distorted fate,
as love is hidden.

Past and present 
are thrown out,
lost in solitude.

Hearts are deceived
mis-used, and teased.

Is this the way it's going to be?
Strangers that know eachother very well....

With skeletons creeping,
as my eye's are weeping.

I start to wonder,
is this what I want?

An unconclusive decison....

she wakes as a cello
in the morning not
high strung but
mellowly tuned

i run one of
my fingers
feeling her
f hole as

the air makes
her shapely
boxed body
quiver in

sound and
breath as
she breathes
vibrating strings

just plucked
slightly an open
g seizes the beat
of my heart as 

it ceases to be
modulating to c
as i tightly wrap
her for a trip...

I'm engulfed by the pitch and the feeling of dread

Unprepared for the rage that stalks like the dead

It seizes my dreams, leaving nightmares of rot

It is only my fear,  that consumes me instead

of the things that are real, and things that are not

The chiselled talons of soulless sane,

With crooked claw of judgement bane,

That in the glare of beaded tell,

Seizes the cries where innocents dwell.

Whose shadows are dust in plumage stained,

The ashes of merciless reign.

Where crowned in glory of thorned rose,

They’ll seat the throne of headless woes,

The guardians of the fallen ten,

The service of shadow less men....

Jesus, sees us
Frees us,  Jesus', 
Please us, seize us,
breezes,  shows us 
Jesus, Jesus...
 Creases, demons,
 diecious, eases;
 Evil fetus,
 freedom, freezes; 
 Grievous,  leases, 
 never leave us;
 Jesus, Jesus
people,  pleases,  
 seizes, treason; 
Human ceases
righteous, seize us;
reasons Jesus
Jesus, Jesus
