a rose-
symbol of love
and blood
...

Everyone has a dream
A dream for tomorrow
A dream for the future
A dream that makes
...

When I open my eyes,
I see the world as it is.
When I close them,
I see a world as I want it to be.
...

Why waste a lifetime
In contemplating
What has already
Been gone—
...

I can’t wait for the sunrise
I wanna die tonight
I’m afraid to see the dawn
because God! - I wish no more hope
...

To a friend, never show your back;
He’s waiting for the perfect timing,
He’s holding a jealous knife,
To stab you behind your back-
...

Maybe it wasn’t late after all
Taking three steps backward
Or even a half more
Or locking oneself in a room
...

I sat beside you
Blood splattering on the floor
...

When you crashed the cone's bottom
And the ice cream started dripping
You’ll need a long tongue and patience
To wait it dropp freely on your mouth
...

Kitchen dust
Child craving for his mother’s blood
In a long day hard work in the field
Of agony and distress
...
