The clouds,
Elegantly do they stride
In their heavenly chambers
In the sky.
...

What is beauty, but a
Tool.
For itself, or a more sinister,
good, evil, objective subjection?
...

Life's grand, a great big sun,
under which the rain can run,
an amalgamated torrent, a verdant river,
both of green growth and red slimy slither.
...

What's it gotten me?
Studying, praying for high marks
Enduring those insanely jesting jackals
That torment me ever so.
...

An ocean,
Yes,
an ocean of
Expressionless
...

Not a matter of the color
But a matter of the Mind.
Diseased, it seeds
many small rinds.
...

When death stares one in the face
the thing to do is laugh in disgrace,
as the inevitable scythe swings towards the dome,
swiftly fast to take you home.
...

One day down
Another coming.
When I'm down in the dark
I'll get up and running.
...

Those leaves, as they whiten in the breeze,
through ever loftier, higher trees,
they sing aloud for all to hear,
that more they are, oh so dear.
...

A baker in the baker's line,
just like others, right on time.
He turns it one and fires it true,
to only some's woe and rue.
...

The black pit of melifecit delight,
a bog of laughter and glory delight,
a red cloud of depths unknown,
to spike and sink to depths unsown.
...

Unbiased as the wind is knowing,
to determine which way the it is blowing,
death to those who we are not,
but for what are they really the man's blot?
...

An apparition, staring in the mirror
Misses his own reflection
It's soft gaze gently returning his
affection.
...

Somewhere deep in the heart doth lie,
a beautiful, untainted butterfly,
and though shrouded in cobwebs he may be,
Come out as the truth he will eventually.
...

There was once a girl, locked in a tower,
Up so high all she could do was sigh,
As she looked down at her dragon without the power,
To escape from the beast, her horrid captor.
...

Ringing sweetly in the wind,
A soothing sound in the head
Not a noise, but one as well
-Silence.
...

There is a legacy I am required to make
A legacy I dare not break
If anything, I will die
before I cry.
...

When in the clouds there speaks thunder,
liveth though, a raven to sunder,
those bleak tidings rolling in,
and in the daylight breaks the din.
...

He grows, he slows around the bend, his tail showing some fin.
Above the water the people swim, oblivious to the danger within,
it comes, it bleeds for the blood it needs,
wants to gnaw and chew for the heart it sees.
...

The beat, the tick, the endless heart,
Comes quick, fast, like a a nonsense harp,
a percussion drill, so loud but faint,
Unstoppable, inconsolable, inconscionable to a deadly gait.
...
