Favorite Quote:
&quot;There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ernest Hemingway (1898-1961)


The vices of life,

shimmering like scarlet rubies,

expose infection.

Evil winks as the light looks down,

and unleashes the monster inside.

Cold, hard skin slithers in warm daylight,

looking astonishing as a rose,

and flickers in the eyes of the innocent.

Deception looks beautiful,

and pupils widen in anticipation.

Soaking in irises,

virtue is swallowed.

Like a thief in the night,

pink hearts turn black,

leaving cold, hard, dark exposure.

Evil lies in the eyes of the innocent,

obscured by the nickname

"Vice".
