Dust coats the tongue, a bitter taste, Each breath a fight, a hurried waste. The sun beats down, a fiery gaze, Through endless, scorching, hazy days. A hollow ache where hunger dwells, A whispered prayer the silence quells. The well runs dry, the earth cracks deep, While weary eyes refuse to sleep. ...Read more

A serpent coils within the breast, With scales of green and eyes of frost. It whispers tales of dispossessed, Of joys you lack, of fortunes lost. It feeds upon each bright display, Each laughter shared, each prize held high. It dims the gold of your own day, And paints your world a somber sky. The n...Read more
The message sent, a digital plea, A question mark hung silently. The screen remained, a vacant stare, No little blip, no presence there.

A slow burn first, a simmering unrest, A whispered wrong, a deeply felt contest. It coils within, a serpent in the breast, A gathering storm, denying inner rest.

A hollow hunger, deep inside, Where wanting festers, nowhere to hide. A grasping hand, a covetous gaze, Lost in the labyrinth of the endless maze.

In shadows deep, a notebook lies, A Shinigami's cruel surprise. Ryuk, with grin and eyes so wide, Lets fall the tool where fates collide. Light Yagami, a brilliant mind, With justice skewed, a twisted kind. He picks it up, the words he sees, "Write down a name, set spirits free." Or so he thinks, wi...Read more
A hollow hunger, deep inside, No gentle craving to abide. But something vast, a gaping need, Where the reason plants no fruitful seed. The table groans, a laden sight, With colors bold and tempting light. And still the hand, it will not cease, To pile the plate, to find no peace. Each savory scent, ...Read more
The morning light, a gentle gleam, Reflects the beauty of my dream, A dream that lives and breathes and sighs, Within the haven of your eyes.

Lust The skin remembers what the touch has known, A phantom pressure where a hand has lain. A whispered name, a breath that's overgrown To wildfire racing through each eager vein.
