Criminal at Large Past midnight in Graná,Moonlight flows, weightless and light,Hand in hand with a tireless breeze.Bearing the whisper of the sea,Waltzing to a summer melodyOf sweaty cicadas. But an explosion,Out of nowhere,Are we under attackBy imperial missilesUnable to handle No? No, the peace is intact, But a psychopath From the lineage of A self-claimed…

I’ll Tell You All
I’ll Tell You All What a fresh summer morning!Melodic birdsong,Roar of noisy motors,Not lost butFormed a jarring modern track.Yesterday, very disturbing; but today…I could smell the fresh breadFrom the café beneath,And the loud chatter;I was alive!

That Moment
That Moment At the lowest depth,Neither light nor words,Silent and still,Proud of life’s stability.I neither knew who I was,Nor did I want to know who I was.Until one day, a wondrous nudge,A very tiny tremor,Yet large enough,Severed me from that colossal depth.
