Poetry: Fear No Evil

You know what I love I love the taste of beer and cigarettes On a cold winter’s night I love the feeling of a soft hoodie And Cards Against Humanity I love the feeling of moonshine On sunkissed skin I love the smell of roses Picked in the dark at New Farm I love the…

Poetry: Blackberries and Brooklyn-99
