Outside the city where the pomegranates grow,
Red lanterns hang where green orchards glow.
They swing in the breeze, they dance and then freeze,
Red glistening balls say cheese, play yo yo and tease.

Red lanterns hang where green orchards glow.

I Hear The Call Of The Wild

I hear the call of the wild.
Once again gear on my journey

Exploring the flora and fauna

immersed in bondage she's
    masqueraded by fear-
absorbed in blindness she's
    wrapped up in dismay-

no light to reveal her insight,

Rendezvous 

Shopping in the arcade their eyes met

Their hands became weak as their bags slipped
