soaring in exceedingly high altitude,
then it turns into a fight for survival.
Worst nightmare come true!

Great, legendary Harry Houdini

Ruled the roost during his hey day. 

Enthralling the world with magic tricks

Shackled in chains, or tied up with ropes

Cap-a-pie, and...Read More

Placing faces

Of bizarre cases 

She Mastered the lines
As she dance the puppets 
Taking crunchy chunks 
From each suspenseful moments

Would you still love me
If i was a tree
And instead of my leaves being yellow or orange
It was black and lifeless
With leaves that fail to plummet
During the fall

Would you still love me
If instead of being full of sparkling flakes
With white...Read More

Love is indeed a strange realm....
from the perspective of the inexperienced-
terrorizing, hypnotizing and suspenseful-

that many claim to live by...

yet...Read More

Profound insight climbing the mountain

Opens up wide spread in front of you
You see the world under your feet
Overwhelmingly liberating experience 
Shocking overpowering, and scary
You play walking on the sling blade

I see a shiny castle
On a high mountain top
Surrounded by a starry hassle
Of bright dancing stars
With moon hanging on its pillars
In the bed of puffy clouds
I see the candle light 
Shining through narrow windows 
Of the top floor arched pillars

From suspenseful January, to darkened December
That pain etched deeply in my...Read More

The fog comes rolling in
To the added horror of it
My situation with my car
Being broke down and all
And stuck on the side of
An abandoned road

Just then...Read More

SOFT SENSUALITY

While the waiting is nearing
The longing doubly suspenseful
Mechanically or tender make it eager of welcome

And eking doors shut up and...Read More
