Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul. Read the rest of this entry »

The Solitary Reaper
BEHOLD her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass! Read the rest of this entry »
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it’s mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own. Read the rest of this entry »

Days

and there she stood with her lips apart
I couldn’t help but hold that stare
and feel the warmth in me all but spare Read the rest of this entry »

Born Free
Inspired by Andy William’s “Born Free” and Dexter

Fate
The fall is here and the leaves stark and fade,
they tumble down branches as the heap escalades
And the skies become clear and an ocean out far,
sends a breeze that catches me while I lay up high Read the rest of this entry »

Acyd
I woke up today feeling all dark blue
and so I helped myself to a pill of hue
Don’t need another day like the one before
or a dark thought killing the one afore
