Writing

Miss This Angel of Mine.

I feel like an endless night waiting for my sunrise / So, this is what it’s like to miss this angel of mine

Surgery of a Soul.

Surgery of a soul In need of repair. / Tiny little instruments used with such care. / A spirit mechanic with a look of despair.

Immerse and Surrender

My eyes without you are forlorn, / I bequeath you with all that I am.

If I Do That?

If I do that, will you feel like a whore? / If I do that, are you going to want more? / If I do that, do I gain higher place? / If I do that, what’s the after taste?

I Am God.

…And soon I’ll be baptised! / I will rise even higher! / No need to associate with the outside! / I am beyond everyone now!

Another Shade of Grey

I’m thinking of her. / I’d break the rules and then recover. / She likes to paint the world grey. / I’ll save her from herself today.
