Sometimes the stuff of legend
Visiting Earth to arrange all
But tomorrow I shall be...

That’s what I mean when I say ‘My heart

Jealousy was restlessness when a guy asked
you to dance with him, I watched you two fliting;
do I look so sincere in spite of my crazy cheating?
I can...

SeeingMany question life's existence of being
Is it the heart to which we live
Or a soul breathing both light and dark
Kindness, hate; emotions to believe
Mind alter illusion, heaven or hell
Our spirit's living between two...

Sozinho no mar alheioSozinho no mar alheio,
Numa modesta canoa a remar,
A dar volta ao mundo inteiro
À procura de uma terra para ficar,
No meio de tempestades,

Porém não cai por meros trovões,
Mas no fim...

Death Is BeautifulOur bodies are designed for birth and death;

without being told; we're born to our role.
Our bodies release endorphins at birth

Hidden TalentHidden talent
Creative mind
Scared to talk
But tucked away
So much to invent
But how do I vent?
Unmotivated, uninspired all it went

Don't believe in me

Beautiful scenery and in flannels
All spruced up to put on the show
How wealthy they are we don't need to know

As Cruelly As People ReactAlways control your temper,

and there are lots of bad ones
with different moods and tones:
there are those who worry less,
all they do is...

Highly entertaining
Charlatan; painting
Manipulating, brewed
Tasty food so others can
Swallow, digest and process.
Deals and wheels
With their golden tongue
Of sweet sugar and honey,
A thief.
A confidence trickster
In order to obtain and kidnap your mind,
Money, power, fame,
Through pretense or...

When Silence SpeaksToday, the doorbell of my mental hideout rang.
It rang with a sound like twinkling waterfalls without the moisture,
And tweeted like a soft pillow from my 5-year-old camping nest.
The scorching glare of darkness crawled up the...
