Mandrake the Magician

now you see him
and now you don't
you will marvel at this magic
while the villains won't

**** he is gone
or changed in an illusion
he can read your mind
and cause constant confusion

the bad guys will lose
crushed by his friend Lothar the King
the strongest man alive
wearing his fez and a golden ring

Mandrake waves his magic wand
to hypnotize the evildoers
while his lady the Princess Narda
applies the skewers

Theron, Hojo and Bradley the chief
keep him protected from harm
with Magnon, Lenore and Karma
at his home Xanadu keeping warm

the villains are many and rotten to the core
Cobra, Brass Monkey and evil Deleter
even the Enchantress Aleena must scurry
Ekardnam his twin in the mirror retreater

so you may try as you might
to remain evil and mean
but Mandrake and his crew
will make you come clean

i think my heart lives in the gap
between her two front teeth

a firefly nestled in sheets
of dark and less than two years
in this world of ours
and she already gleams
my niece owns my soul lol

It was darkness all around me.
And was getting so cold.
I felt all alone.
With no one to hold.
I screamed with no sound
Cried with no tears
Am I isolated in all my fears?
I could barely breathe.
And felt my heart rate getting low.
My eyes slowly loosing it's vision.
And my body getting weaker.
I felt pain.
Severe pain.
As if I was living in vain.
But this time, those pains were like pleasure to me.
With glittering eyes,
And full of smiles.
Because
I knew it was an end.
An end to wend.
