Fall

Posted on:

Like a leaf    that falls    so are the works of man They start    they grow    they blossom and mature Then they fall… Everything        we do        comes to an end Someday        it will all    fade away         Sometimes        it seems    nothing really matters            Only […]

Beautiful Killer

Posted on:

Life with God

God, or I?

Posted on:

Emptiness

Posted on:
