smoke ring 1

Sometimes at night I walk to the beach and lie on my back near the sea to dream good things about my life. I’m a vagabond soul filled with Internet folklore and the thought of your kiss shines like the stars amidst dark moments.
During the day, I hunt for food and fight my enemies with [...]

For age is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though in another dress,

How did it get so late so soon?
Its night before its afternoon.
December is here before its June.
My goodness how the time has flown.
How did it get so late so soon?
