Goodnight world.
The sun has moved to the west,
The bird has gone to his nest,
The body has done its best,
...

It was hanging on the hooks,
Like my old man’s grey coat,

Who buries his head in books.
...

Silence welcomes me as I make my entrance,

So much to see in an instance,
...

He first saw her when she was in the seventh grade.
He was seventeen, she was fourteen,
A year older than the average kid in grade seven.
He looked at her young eyes, she looked at him,
...

The water is boiling, slowly turning to vapor.
Everyone's up, ready to chase the paper.
He goes to dribble a football, the player,
She has to go for practice, the pro skater,
...

I saw him again,
This time in my dream,
Tall, all smiley, and dressed in white,
Like an angel.
...

Quiet as a dark night,

Ravishing flowers I sight,
...

Under the cover of darkness,

When the sky is bare, starless,
...

Since your very first hi,

My spirits been so high,
...

So cold I feel,

A little warmth I need,
...

I'll wake up at mid-night,
And clutch her dress tight,
She doesn't know I'm awake,
I need me her entire attention,
...

I would


If I could, I would.
...

She laughed hard, and laughed and laughed,
And laughed again…
Spare a thought for her.
She isn’t retarded, she is not smart either.
...

Her miniature eyes stared at the setting sun,
Her small hand seen holding a round bun,
All she chewed all day was a tasteless gum,
The feeling of dejection in her, she’s glum
...

Arisen at dawn, New day, new tale,
My misery starts, poor son of fate,
A norm for me, despaired soul,
As I draft this, put me in your intercession,
...

Allow me write, inscribe peachy words under your sublime name,

Made it my vocation, to preserve a special seat for you, in the hall of fame,
...
