Navigating Infinity in Futility
My frantic quest to grasp infinity Leaves me floundering in darkness, Never melting into the dawn. Caught amidst the infinitely chaotic Planetary dichotomy of truth and falsehood, Good and evil, Virtue and vice, Light and darkness, Joy and sorrow, That perpetually engage in a game of hide-and-seek, My thoughts and gazes flutter, Gaining momentum, yet […]

I Wish to Fly( A Rondeau )
I wish to fly where the doves cry,Soothe their sick souls, wipe their tears dry.Where green has turned red, Nature creeps,Tattered children, hollow eyes, none sleeps,Where Pride and Ego, all sense defy.
