Favorite Quote:
&quot;A person&#039;s life purpose is nothing more than to rediscover, through the detours of art or love or passionate work, those one or two images in the presence of which his heart first opened.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Albert Camus

Heart beats
one two
one two

Moon's light
uncover the flaws
eyes follow
the boy who
doesn't need to
Pretend

Life's cycle
one two
one two
changes

He doesn't believe
the Sun's bright
Lie

Sun rises
cycle ends

Heart beats
one two
one...

Moon
Falls
taking the truth
along with it.
