The Fall

He placed her on a pedestal
And fed her milk and honey
Gently clipped her wings
And showered her with money

She was his wife, he was her life
Until the day she fell
It wasn’t long before she found
The waiting arms of Hell

One mistake yet...

An Apology

Seclusion from humanity seems the only justice.
Pulling me from the deviant thought of self-sacrifice.
Provoking feelings better left unseen and locked away.
Never intending to depreciate your humanity.
My soul is incongruous, mastering the art...

By what you say
Then will come the

Rainy Showers are here to

Red Flags

Going to keep my eyes open in the back of my head,
Watchful where we roam.

As our eyes settled on each other the world faded,
Like a stage where we...

A fellow of the Geographic. His Indian jungles.

His Dad gave him
First rudimentary camera.
Took to the lush jungle
Of the sub-continent

A harmless city sidewalk
Free of danger.

But danger.
Eyes alert always for

Nada que contar

Sufro de esta enfermedad,
la de respirar sin propósito,
la que no me deja avanzar,
la que no me deja intentar
y mucho menos vivir.

No es algo en específico,
solo un invento de mi ser.
Un problema solo para mí,
que no tiene caso...

SURE


Nothing surprises me anymore! I listen behind the doors of the world to the wail of teddy boy voices 24 hours a day, but I only store my cherished, cherished rage to erupt again like a volcano. How did we get here?

Is there no other way to...
