My clock it sits upon the wall Checking constantly Between the long hand and the short In-between the seconds that fall The minutes of each and every day passing of time that holds true Right there upon that clock Is something special I mad...

The Raven In the silence This lucidity of calm Pressing back against the laughter The raven’s dream of our souls We know naught what we are Yet we remain to be seen Caught in the demons eyes The unpleasant demise of our sins These , here, are the r...

i wrote a poem last weekend about relaxing at home. after reading it again just now, i decided to do the same this weekend.

this weekend i stay at home i am grateful that I stay at home to enjoy the peace and relaxation to regain the sanity and energy I have been drained out of by work. Work non-stop over-time work mountains of piles of work that are impossible to finish...

I Understand: Tremble

Nervous? You should be. After all, we never imagined that this place and this position is one you could eventually be. What you confidently told yourself five minutes ago fled in a flash. Now you are up against the real thing, and there is no turni...
