Opposed to art used for proporganda
preferring social scenes comme ci comme ca*

Summer Love

The summer’s heat invades
Stains of soft petals
As love gather’s certain poppy breeds
As slow unheeded love sense’s
Paralysis endings

Windows Of The Soul


The desire shall dance upon the black soul
Beneath the stare of leaping eyes
Opportunity dances to memerized feelings
From depth of eternal lifes whirlpool

Masquerade Ball

Dress up ghouls
Death's Masquerade Ball.
Each ghastly dance
Creates the queue.
A death head prize
For willing waltz.
A looming grave
The victory taunts
A dying knave,
A pyrrhic flaunt.

Three Little Coffins

Three little coffins
End to end.
Placed in the graveyard
Of my soul.
Death reigns.
My story told.

Just yesterday I lived.
Drew water from the well.
Laughed, cooked,
Cleaned dirty ears.
Alive, waiting for
My warrior's roar.
The victory cheer

Today I leave
The shards of my heart
Broken with my pots.
Numb my pain. Only
The dead remain.
