Enter the domain,
of unknown beauty.

Where endless possibilities
are and can be.

Climb aboard,
the boat of mystery.

Dormant your worries,
and enjoy the soft breeze.

The breeze, The breeze,
of endless possibilities.

i once had a father who was,

draconian

he felt no love

and no pain

he thought by making people work like

his little puppets it would be okay

but, its not

i would lay on the wooden floor muscles aching

he wouldn't care

he would laugh as i worked in the fields on hot days

teasing me as he drank cool water when i couldn't have any

the only place i felt safe was in the domain of my room

my sheets are a cold blanket snuggled around me as i slowly drift to sleep

awaiting another horrible day

All through the night

After every draconian fight

The city of light

Turned into a city of fright

The people were right

Inviting this strange man was not very bright

So they caught the man tonight

And put him under duress in a manner that wasn’t polite

They accused him for turning their city into a bloody sight

The man disagreed and said he was a knight

They did not believe him and still held him tight

So the man solved the problem by giving them a drink called Sprite

The city once again turned white

As the townspeople celebrated with the man in delight

My dirty domain
Like a stinky pig pen
Oh what to do? How to clean it?
My closet is dormant
With clothes strewn on the floor
My toys are in doldrums
My dromedary camel and the funny humps on their backs
My draconian villains fighting my egalitarian heroes
Since moving out of our house in the big edifice
My room has just been a mess!

There once was a child who was watching TV,
So quietly dormant and bored as can be,
He walked into the hall,
Glanced at the fourth wall,
And said "God, I hate poetry."

I have effaced my love for you, like sand washed away by the sea.

i listened to the dulcet sounds fill the room,
was it safe for me to assume?
had all my worries been effaced?
or somehow had they been replaced?
nevertheless they're not here now,
posing as if my worries are "all pau"

All strive for an egalitarian society like “back then” but can we revert,
If only our world was peaceful and dulcet like “Ave Maria” by Schubert.
May we efface life’s duress?
Or will we go CRAZY like Bak-Hee when she couldn’t confess.
Whatever the answer may be,
We should all be grateful were not a dromedary

The elegant and dulcet soprano acted very silly,
but was that her fault she just really had to use the restroom.
