when the first rays of dawn
meet the glimmer in his eyes,
and the glowing beauty of the sun
decorates the charisma of his smiles,
...

Several years ago, I walked with a girl hand in hand...
Hand in hand we ran through the streets
And raced up the hills...
We danced in the rain
...

In the name of forsaken humanity,
my grievous fingers pen down and paginate.
for the sake of a twisted progeny,
i will scar and dent and lacerate.
...

Maybe I just love you too much and that's not too good...
maybe you don't love me as much as I love u...
maybe your going to leave me someday for another...
maybe you've already found another...
...

Roses are borne on thorns.
Flowers are plucked by those who plant them.
some beasts feed on their young.
they're just hungry you can't blame them.
...

Down on his bed with sorrow again.
A fleeting memory and he screams in pain.
He bites his lip, his heart is pillaged,
and the words spill out: 'am in love, i am caged'.
...

The silent soft wind now hums a song.
The trees dance and sing along,
As leaves drop to the ground
And raise voices to a mournful sound.
...

She strolled out of the house looking bright and happy.
she stopped by and bent to smell and pluck every lilly
she looked towards the west and watched th sun welcom the night
she loved the twinkles in the sky that decorated twilight.
...

days have come. days have passed.
glowing all along were candles in the dark.
the tides have stirred and the wind has blown.
but the memories we made will forever burn.
...

staring outta my sun filled window...
as i behold the lovely misty morning of a seventh day...
and faces of indifference, happiness and sorrow..
all the paraphernalia of an unholy morning on a holy day.
...

I look back at a hurting path of history...
Just to catch a view from the window of time...
And all I hear are distinct and distant cries of pain and agony.
Slowly streaming into my eyes are the red rays of the east...
...
