We cannot lose, what is never ours What does fall from life, stays an hour You love it more than your soul, It does devour. The Garden was lost, As there blooms a flower. What is not life, lives but in measure What was there, is, and there will be Shines a treasure. Ignorance, blindness …

It is all there, but something isn’t If that something is, Something will be lost in time. The darkness viewed with the eyes, Seeps into the heart And the mind wants to give up on measure,I and strings attached. Truth is, Truth is unknown And it is not sorrow or defeat but the Futility of …
Pain

No one is good to no one
A park, an alley, a subway trainRichness, poverty and what wealth cannot measureClose your eyes and roll your eyeballs behind your foreheadInto the abyss of uncertaintyAs no one is good to no one.A frequent bench, a tree, some sparrowsKindness, rudeness and choosingly numbThe dark circles around your eyes kissThe confusion in your eyeballsAs no one …
