"Keep your eyes closed, love. sometimes all you have to listen is to what the sound of the waves tells you to do."

When I was much younger, beaches were my second favorite places. I still love watching waves as they go by, crashing against each other and the whole process repeating all over again.

the weapon lay at my side
the hand written guide
i do not think

no divide
not mortified

horrified
thoughts, justified
the black crow

slowly shutting the eyes
the light subsides

     the str e e t,           It is dark, yet light.
                  Night, yet day.

         Thought, and emotion....
  
Knowledge,                                        ­                                          and fear.
        

        "Fear." The thing that can destroy any man.
Or bring them from the ashes.
In the End, It will all fit together.

The moon is a question mark,
A door of the night
And I am none of its answers
But I enjoy the conversation
