Echoes of LondonPlease enter,
What is with your 'box of toys' (noise)?
Accusations and slander,
'Get on with it, lad.' In the streets of London,
Spreading your propaganda, 'Days a-dawning' (morning).
One's been saying one has nothing to offer,
'Dustbin lids,' 'early hours.'...

O'Yes, Braver Still Are Well-Hidden ScribesO'Yes, Braver Still Are Well-Hidden Scribes

Tears flowing from the eyes causing a flood

Brewed by our interpersonal tensions
Lightning lances lively, and we're losing
Because reality is what we keep refusing
When...

AutonomicAntelope graze the savanna,
Without a care in the world,
For literal lack of imagination.
Languishing in a morning moment,
The herd simply enjoys its munching.
Something else wafts on air,
Some chemosignal delectably taboo.
Sweat beads trickle down his temples.

The sword raised above him, a tune of horror

The Marauder RageA marauder’s rage and heroic might.
Castle enchanted by savior’s shield,
The peasant looks upon her light.

Standing tall...

Unnoticed EleganceDelicate flower of thine,
How could one shun thy beauty,
With so much ease from sunset to sunrise,
Escaping ignorant eyes.
Blinding yet fulfilling needs without fail,
