Feat

With deceiving harsh mystique
Where nothing shall ever be sane
And love is our greatest feat

Loose End

Jan 2, 2018

Hanging on a loose end rope is utterly in vain
You feel like you have a hope
 but in the end is only pain

My Rainbow

At the end of my rainbow,
I see a vacant space
That makes me realise 
The colours were illusion
And dreams were in vain.

Ticking Away

A clock ticks away all its life
Unknown to the world outside
Does it like its refrain?
Our does it think it's all in vain?

A Vain Request

Pain is much too personal for verse,
Don’t curse
The reader with your anger-anguished words.
Rhyme flowers, sun and birds.

I have no roof to shelter under
When the sky begins to rain
For an umbrella through the thunder
I will always hope in vain.

The thunder, lightning and the pouring rain
Are signs I bought my summer clothes in vain.

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

And the Word Was Made Flesh

God is unquestioned,
therefore he has no answers

All questions for man
—looking outward in vain

(Dreamsleep: August, 2021)

Mirror

Un sweet reflections fueled by
modest outside perceptions.

Sights made up vain.
Questioning who you see
on the wall, 
in a frame.

Toad

At the river's edge

Dive into the sea to see
How wonderful our earth!
Dive into university to make
Sure how man is vain!!
How little is our earth!?

    alone
    we blame ourselves
    and we hold
    to concepts
    so vain...

“Hey, when is my turn?”
asks the horse.
“Hold your horses,” 
says the plastic surgeon,
“while I give the duck
a quick nip and tuck.”
