#nickels
Frightened stars Look for love, in the term of a fiend *** and difference, we have a tale that frowns Since to ends, a wisdom in the rain, has amends Sanity, spate, arrogancy Lips with no beginning or end, take the time Such is a creed that needs me, in the oracle of speed Wait on me to hate wholeness, of a carnal chime Safety, in the riches of a forest Wink, wood, and the anarchy of a patience Set aflame by the sight I imagine, continues in lest Spare me a tear for an enemy, rage of me never ends Done with my concern, can't a prettiness spite a spirit With the life of another speed, chance and challenge winds Come and go, sunshine, the night has a punk in the hint Of a simple smile, I have never made, and ate for inclined sins... Shade, do we even care? Song, can a ***** of burden sit in a sick's fever? Treacle, as if a war in the milk of heaven had a clever liar? Dance, in the mouth you swallow with, ink is ours for never? Dead, antipathy, lead Spice in the stare, my light has shared, with you Sakes in the blindness I sold to you, for a craving said Season's of a devil, my imagination ***** with your smile to... Love, many, and wishes Succor is mine, for every strength of a terror Simple as that, a ray of hope isn't what religion Meant, if and when a smile is nothing but my charity...

The Other Idea Of A Host's Name For Defiance, Charisma?
blue roses and unzipped jackets, looks like the cold doesn't want to enter your skin again so its painting guesses on the corner of silver st. and goat lane, you thought that saying its all good baby baby would make your crown look bigger but the diamonds fell off instead

round nickels atomic 28
Even were he to explain, he’d much rather show to you his scars. He bears them like medals now, knowing well they are made of clad, like nickels, like cheap bullets. If he could, he’d chuck all of them into the deep, the sparkle, of a wishing well. He knows that these scars have not only unsown himself, but made trenches between him and possibilities of love. If he could, he’d place each scar into the chamber of a rifle, aim the .22 he never owned at a flock of starlings. He might miss every time, but at least the ravens would scatter. He knows what he’d wish for, were each scar dropped, at 5 cents a wish. He has enough of them so that they jangle on him when you embrace. If he could, he’d stop collecting them, and wish them away on you. He’d put away the rifle. His carving of a smile would fade into a grin. You had always been the loveliness of a needle, of thread and steady hands.
