Sin you are so sinister,evil is your game.Hiding behind false pretenses,you never act the same.The poison on your arrows,makes sick this world today.Luring away all innocence,victims on display.Stop laughing, lives in ruin rest.Mankind we know you detest.I hope soon you'll be put to death.Then humanity will succeed.

My LoveMorning brings the scent of lilacs.You kiss my neck.My eyes linger on your full lips.Your body is a masterpiece in its pose.I'm embarrassed by this raging desire.I do not turn away.Your hands tune my response.Like a stringed instrument, my body sings.Aglow in love.Embers flare within your embrace.You cast a spell of en...

RunawayLittle Lolitaeloquently descendsa rickety staircase.Dressed all in black,vodka's on her breathe.Somewhere in this cityof evil, innocence lives.Not here though, no not here.She makes her waythrough the maze of filth,while the minute hand on her clockechoes the clicks of her stilettos.Leaving the shelter of the doorway,s...
