Mildew a plenty
Rivers flowing free without any envy...

Pleading for mercy
in the filthy hands of devii
where...

When silence speaks no need of pen,
Veiled, a puppet master pulling strings,
Empathy dangling as the devil sings.

to pen my thoughts on parchment pages.

OblivionIn the depths of her despair, she's confined,
A solitary figure, lost in her mind,
Engulfed by shadows, no end in sight,

A grassy grove and a man shouting mad
I didn't even know what to say
His face dragged down by his eye bags

Father's Memorial dayThe world has indeed been forgetting me
Forgetting me cruelly
As waste that neither grow nor breathe
It is a fermentation of anger and despair
As Despairing as it struggles with anger
At the unknowns in dark...
