“I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Angel’s Game
I was standing there In the heart of crossroads Blindly staring at the unfamiliar road signs Traffic lights must have misheard my wheeze They shifted before I could breathe Inexorable headlights race towards the freezing me As if magnet and metal were meant to be I am here, facing back Tracing the road I wanted to wrack With thought of facing the crack Measuring the weight to repack Memories of morning sun heating away the haze Passion of youth in this town had become blase Fleeting replays of ugly truths in these old days So I stepped out the lies builded with ablaze I will be moving, starting from here By the side of crossroads Slowly walking away from these rusty road signs

Writers' heaven
I love that novel, like an angel loves to smile I said I love that novel like angel loves to smile Love to open it in the midnight love to whisper to it “Let’s read, awhile!”

Love that novel
There was a boy sitting in the bar Planning one day to be a rock star He ordered pink milk And then he started to bilk Running on the road and hit by a car

A "out" boy
Poor Shirley sat quietly blinking These poems have got me to thinking I can’t find a word That isn’t absurd My tries at poems are stinking
