Night Rider

the black reaches my brain
not this again
I keep telling myself
don’t you swallow the colours

the only thing i can think of is sex

the shadow moves
without pausing
or even thinking
it does what it’s told

drifting surrogate

here is darkness liquid dreams
nothing there is real, it seems
you touch a velvet form
but eyes see one purple coloured storm

Riddle #1: Robert and Ruby

1) Why was Robert afraid of his cat Ruby?
2) Why was Robert afraid of the sun?
Tell me in the comment section!

There Cometh Me

And then out in the cold
There cometh me
And my shadow
Illuminating the dark walls

Feel the Ghost of Anubis in the Back of Your Mind

Cats are for the living
Dogs are for the dead

The sunbeam awakes you
While the moon shadow just hides

Hidden Pictures

Shadows
In a way
Reveal a picture
How it should be seen

Morning Breaks the Law

Beauty always appears at dawn
When you go up soon
Right before the daylight
