Platinum locks reflecting the rays of the mighty Sun, An army of unfortunates kneels down just to admire. There she stands after all the burning has been done, A new-born Mother of three winged-sons fresh out of the pyre.

Roulette
Does your heart get heavy when you crawl out of her bed? Tiptoeing to the front door before the tears are shed, Little whispers and whimpers are heard, A little after breaking the walls around the heart that once barred. One fine day I had spent in your company from dusk to dawn, Unaware [...]
Sandcastle
Leisure let me build my fragile grainy home, Standing timidly, defying its own fate, A faintly gate, and a well-shaped dome. Centuries gone, lovers have cried, Over the loss of bonds that they nurtured. To have captured, time, oh! Yes, they tried. The waves hit the walls and melted the land, But the [...]
The Royal Chant
Brick by brick, Pane by pane, Built a castle, In my name. Drops in Mud, Cut in halves, Filled the river, With their Blood. Men who reason, Put to advise. Men for treason, Head on spike. Reign and roam, On the Throne. Ripped their home, The usurper's crone. One strike, fail. [...]
Reprise
Just when I thought my memory served me right, The strange essence of adultery in the middle of the night, Passed out on the floor, stench of cheap wine, Avenged, destructed, painted in red for being out of line. After many years, I came around the same place, Accompanied by the crass and the [...]
A King’s Tale
The Fat King's a funny man; whines, dines and snores, Queen's in distress, as he goes hunting for boars. Princes' charming and a little miss, Poor Old King, none of them is his. Fat King's a silly man for keeping lions in closed doors.
The Rose
The cuckoo's last song Brought in warmth of summer breeze I stand my ground Reluctantly as time goes Showers brought in smell of rose.
Refrain
Such a cold lover you are, Your lips taste like snow. You have dropped your jar of hearts, The one you keep with yourself to show. I’ve searched for mine, it’s been bleeding out, I had to put gauze around it. ..And now my Wedding dress is drenched in blood, But I will carry my [...]
Midnight Pangs
Only minutes left for the clock to strike one, I've searched the whole day but could find none. I'm becoming restless. Is there more time to earn or, Tonight will be my turn? I've been doing this for a while now, Serving his meals as I had taken a vow. He prefers them raw [...]
Broken Frames
Broken pieces left here and there, Brittle mind of yours without a care. The paper stating our fate is now torn, You might be glad but I'm the one to mourn. Flashbacks, I keep getting them day and night, Printed, now forgotten memories in Black and White, I hold them near to my heart, Moments [...]
