    About this ebook

    I wrote this for the lovers, and the thinkers. For the mad, the brave idiots. For the urban philosophers. For you and especially for me.
    These poems made me explore and embrace my light and my darkness. There's so much beauty in melancholy and so much sadness in happiness. If you think about it, there are just two sides of the same coin.

      The end of autumn lowers its leaves in the wealthy residential neighborhoods. Paintings in galleries and private foundations hold some short-lived way of seeing into misery or love. Those artists believed in power. I should, too. Strangers unman me i

      A woman, a bird, a Pterodactyl? The thing came fast from the shadows, wings fluttered under the glow of one solitary lamp above the docks. I should never have had that last drink with Deny. I was drunk—maybe… sure, that was it—hallucinations. Her win
