oh, i don't want to be everything
i just want to be (your) something

fruit tastes better forbidden
i can't stop myself
i'm breaking all these promises
like a ******* animal
i'm writhing
squirming
a seizure of ***** pleasure
torment!
demons dance around my head
like flower girls
splaying the ground with sin
i'm a ******* animal
thoughts pulsing
a constant state of primal ******
controlling me
like a leash
dangling meat in front of my face
somebody purge me
exorcize me from this
and distill the evil
and cast the black water into the sea

i beg
for my
catharsis

Oh Madness is a lonely child,
from whom the many run away,
the odd thing is - when we are wild;
it is the one with whom we play.

They say the sun is the only star in our solar system.

They've obviously never met you.

Break off from the pack,
Away from those who’ll seek to hold you back.
Put it all on the line
A life lived without risks
is not a life of mine.

Sever the ties.
Forget your past.
All the times you tried
but you failed so hard.
Give it all you got,
that’s why you have a heart.

Don’t run with the wolves.
Just be your own man.
Just do better as best you can.
You’ll live, you’ll breathe, you’ll die, you’re ******.
Your sand is running out.
Your ******* time is up.

We’re wasting the only chance that we will ever get.
When death comes, he’ll find me living a life of no regrets.

Two boys
Black and white
Played in a garden
Under the tree
They sat and slept
The breeze fanned them
As the afternoon
Slipped from the field
They collected their things
To go back home
At twilight
The clouds made
A white canopy
And the rain showered
Down their bodies
They sloshed water
In the pools
Walked and ran
And bade adieu
With love in their bosoms
And promises in eyes
To be united again
In the lap of nature
And away from
Kaleidoscope of their elders
