A tattooed body of roses

A taste of honey in a cherry pie

An alibi

A path to no man's land

A world of dark passion

A world of great deception

It is not a caution

It stands in a narrow format

A hollow tree

A bleeding sparrow

A raging storm

Never the server

It is now a pick

To dress that tick

Shadows of past loves

Sink into the stale air

The air is fresh

The Pursuit of Happiness
Humanity is just a blip in the cosmos in the grand scheme of time
According to the Cosmic Calendar, the average years of human life is equivalent to only zero point one sixth of a second

Great Art? 

What makes the art great? 

Is it interpretation

Or my intention?
