    Stuck in these wily, windy moors

    It’s really fucking stupid that you’reDressed like fucking Cupid.How foolish do you think I am?Those wings must be glued-on! Why are you pointing arrows at me?Go aim at a sparrow!My heart belongs to no oneAnd I do not like the dawn. I’ll just sleep-in foreverIf you don’t mind.You won’t severMy connection to the personI think…

    The Only Limit is Sky

    You can’t defeat the Queen of Hearts If you never follow the rabbit. So even when your party gets spoiled, Try not to make it a habit, To avoid the unease That comes with real growth, For you must go under to rise. For there is no ceiling on this dwelling of ours. As they…

    I Fell Asleep to the Sound of Music Last Night

Stop doing that. That’s your…

  • R.I.P. Allegory

    R.I.P. Allegory

    When I finished this I couldn’t stop giggling. Not because it’s that funny. Because I couldn’t believe I wrote it. I wish that allegory wasn’t lost.That we preserved the art, despite the cost,To those who seek to rule this Make Believe.And not by bending fellow man to knee,By tricking him into thinking he’s sovereignWhile enslaving…
