If God hears a blasphemous joke
Would He laugh like we do
Or would he sigh and lament
His children's growth?
Once a monster was set upon the world
Immediately he died, traumatized
Yet his neck wouldn't stop
From twisting to look back
At that awful world
Where he's not the only
Sheep that is black.
Imagine you met God after your end
You bowed in reflex 'cause the prophets did
You crawled to His toe like a loyal dog
But, when you look up into His eyes
You can't see any praise
Only twisted face of shame.
I'd like to think that God made us to tell Him a story—the unique story of our life. If that's the case then do you think He would enjoy listening to your stories when all of them are about him?

Satan is tired from all the blames;
You're the one that sinned,
Not the evil lonely him.
Don't say you were tempted—
All he does is howl
Like his tortured crowd.
His whispers are loud,
Far from a soft mistress' moans.
He's not the one to boast
Nor does gold glitter in his eyes—
Only flames and sacrifice.
He's the full wrath of evil,
And he has a God to defeat.
He doesn't care if fools like hell's heat.

Summer nights had lost their luster
As a million fireflies dim their embers;
Only in nostalgia could we glance
Those scenes where they once danced

Lost are their glimmer—
The forests mourn their partners
For they've taken its tiny souls
Mystic glows that made them whole

Their embers were put to rest,
And murk swallowed these blessed;
Their shine that wanes to bloom
Now forever sleeps in gloom.
I saw a post about that we might become the last generation to see the beauty of fireflies, so well... I made this.

A wilting aster
Questioned Death
Whose body surrounded
With field of flowers—
Would they cry?
They answered,
Yes, though
You wouldn't know why.

My life is too quiet
Yet I never met solace
For in this silence
My thoughts propagate
Happiness until hate
They're breaking my mindscape
Yearning to be heard
Out in the landscape
But I have none to share this burden
Flowers wilt and birds fly away
Loneliness is my only company
I'm silenced to misery
Left only with a single wish
A creature that feeds upon
My overwhelming thoughts
