Home is where the heart is.
I’ve heard it once said.
So my home is lying next to you,
Right there on your bed.
For you stole my heart away,
Over seven years now.
Yet I’m more alive than I’ve ever been.
Someway! Somehow!
As Seasonal rains restores,
The damage caused by a drought.
So my lease on life is replenished,
When your lips press against my mouth!
For to me you are,
The perfect specimen of the feminine gender.
I’m constantly amazed by,
Your humility, eloquence and splendor!
You fill my thoughts.
You haunt my dreams.
Reflecting on the past years,
The more obvious to me it seems.
From the day we met and our destinies crossed.
The intertwining of our souls,
Was to be the ultimate cost.
Though the seasons change,
Some friends are gained,
And others to time are lost!
I will need you still, and this I will.
Till death do us part!
Yesterday I saw you past me.
What devilish tricks you play!
For as I reach out to touch you,
Like smoke you fade away!
So on my knees I fell,
Asking my god for guidance.
For living without you feels to me,
Like torture invented by medieval tyrants!
So low my spirit is taken,
It seems a deep dark dungeon.
Till you speak those words that pick me up
And heal me like a surgeon.
And so I will take your essence captive,
And call you my beau.
As I tell you those same words.
I love you too!

New World
Was I wrong to dream? Of a world of peace. Where love forever abounds. And hatred? But cease! A world in which, We all belong, Of grassy fields, And birdy songs. The extinction of orphans, How great it seemed. That never again, an orphan On this world, is to be seen! Still in this dream, I also saw, No whale oil lamps. No dead macaws! No bloody stream, Leading to dead elephants! For the rich had all, Taken heed! That all are poor! Once children bleed! Then who am I, But a brother’s keeper? Yet am I thus? That makes him weaker! Am I the scourge of yesterday? Which consumes life’s essence. And dear souls take away! Doth not my hands make? Great machines of war? Yet I preach peace! One might ask, what for? Oh how I long for the day, When none shall remember, The glories of conquest, And it’s narcissistic splendor! Still in this dream, I saw the past. A time long gone, too long to grasp! There, wealth existed unlike today. In our interactions, our words, And the very games that we play. A time when gold was naught, But a conductor. And diamonds a useless rock! But for mere luster!

Beginning of the Fall
Chapter 7: The Beginning of the Fall The higher you go, the harder you fall. The fall never begins with a crash. It begins with a wobble — a subtle, almost imperceptible shift in the internal atmosphere. A moment where the altitude that once felt like freedom suddenly feels unstable. The air thins just a little too much. The light sharpens just a little too far. The speed becomes just a little too fast to sustain.
