I much enjoy the starry shore, And the pines of yore, But if you wished it love, I would follow thee near or far. Forsake I would the hills of youth, And follow your western pursuit, To the ends of the earth, And to the sunset sea. If thee would go southward, Then I too forward, Hand in hand with thee, My first and only love. If thee settled in the dell and glen, » Continue Reading
Long ago when time was young, Before the singers sadly sung, When there were not yet heroes of great renown, And the trees were not tall and grown, A man roved out from the eastern town, Canoe heavy laden with pearl and gown, And long did he paddle tiresome, The lack of land sight wearisome, 'Til came into his view a lonely island, Rising up from the mist as a giant hand, Overjoyed he was at the ... » Continue Reading
Atop the solemn tower, She is there, The wilderness around does shrink and cower, And the pain of the world is hers to bear, Hers and hers alone, From her vantage where she rests, Withered as to a crone, In the crumbling realm no longer blessed, What now of her wisdom? It has not kept prosperity, Nor persevered her queendom, Or brought parity, Nay only dust, And broken stones, Swords long » Continue Reading
Hammer of god on anvil striketh, Sparks doth rain down, Within the fiery climate, Of the forge that lieth underground. Blue steel of alchemy, That glitters as starlight, Above the tower balcony, Ever glowing bright. No mere folly of man could compare, To the blade here forged, No finer have been know the wares, But in this castle gorge. Jewels doth glitter in the » Continue Reading
'Tis my last journey I begin, Death has sat down beside me, And I shall not win, Soon my soul shall wing free, Back to my creator, From whence I came, Take this, my succour, That on my lips I perish with your name, My dearest friend, And my only companion, Now is the end, And this realm I abandon, All my earthly travels, Have been made hand in hand, We have beheld many marvels, And be » Continue Reading
I will never forget the day I first saw you Through the glass And when you first saw me Or did you see me first? And the way you smiled After I smiled And when I touched the glass You touched it back Since then Every day I rushed to see you To catch a glimpse of you And there you always are Waiting for me With your smile With you » Continue Reading
In the beginning there wert innumerable, But then there were two, One kind and honorable, And the other dark and cruel, Brother and sister were they, Alike and unlike, She had scales of deep blue and gray, But he was the black of night, In olden days, in times unrecorded, Man and dragon had agreement, That they would lay not a hand, Upon, or lest in wrath descent, And by this word they kept bound, » Continue Reading
🪺🌷🪷🌹✝️🪻🌻🌼⛰️ I shall cling to the cross, And let it bear me, Through the valley of the shadow of death, To light of heaven's victory. Heavy though is the burden, Of my mind and earthly toil, I shall tread ever onward, 'Til I leave mortal soil. Having forsooth my sinful bonds, And giving over all, Clinging to the robe of Christ, I shall endure, and not fall. » Continue Reading
What of the sweet william in the field, With violet blooms most shapely, And rooted deep to never yield, Beauty and survival yet innately, Choked by ratty thistle and thorn, Amidst the damp of moss and stone, Here yesterday was just born, And tomorrow will be long gone, What then of the sweet william flower, What respite shall it find, When the wilted pile does cower, And the weary wheel of time d... » Continue Reading
No roses o'er thy grave, Nor polished mossy stones, But memory to save, The water depths cradle thy bones, No isle for thee, No cairn, nor stately mound, But the corals of the sea, And unreached by sound, Solemn rest ye, In thy sleep, Living shade in my memory, That time has not it's harvest reaped, Requiem for my daughter, Still hast fallen thy silver tress, To the black blade, and sensele » Continue Reading
