Lasts shorter than a wink

Nothing is immortal akin to love


Hatred is versa of love’s existence See the poverty of the wicked hand
Each has juxtaposition A funeral ceremony in the week end
In GOD’s cosmic Calamities around your own head
Love’s a medication of motional pains Tired of living only in bad
Seeping when hurts locate Transparent sensation, injected in mind
After bleeding hearts Like poison through the veins, easily spread
**so have a bash all your life** Pleasure to satisfy, a sin to justify don’t be mad
Adoration is the seventh layer of sky Harvester of pain will never be glad
It takes one to angel’s rank Remorse’s crying, tearing in blood
Where love is the cherub A shield of passion to veil the sorrow inside
In the chest of its anonymity The arrogant smile deceiving the blind
**so have a bash all your days** Dignity’s crown never to fit his head
Under the shade and breezing lays my aura. Like resistance and tolerance never to stand
Whom my heart pulsates of her golden Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

Keep up loving me Bleed the blind and hide the blade
