Yesteryear’s vision of you makes me beam with pride. I see you valiant, and strong, The epitome of masculinity, Carrying the world on your shoulders. You stumble, yet you carry your load, Then I blink, and centuries past, You morph into this new creature, Value reduced in the view of others, Yet you are worth […]

My mind punched a symphony of serenity but my desire perpetuated delinquency, As I ogled into her glistening deep brown eyes, A blood rush of solicitude begged risk, My heart aesthetically entwined with hers, Reversed into a profound melody of beatitude, Compounded by desire, our scripts merged, Relentless were our hands, to auspices of emotion, […]
