When Death Do Us PartPlease follow link to the original piece and do not favourite this copyWhen Death Do Us Part
Weep not, lover, when my lips do part To let slip the tongue of the reaper’s kiss, To press upon my palate his black art That moves my soul unto the deep abyss. Fret not when sweat beads upon my brow And gleams against the pallor of my skin, Let not my death blemish your peaceful soul, Nor the dreams we shared be disavowed, When at last my spirit takes to wing. Weep not, lover, when those bells toll.
Fear not, lover, when my breath is stilled And my voice a hollow memory in

Spent For LovePlease follow link to original and do not favourite this copySpent For Love
O’ fickle earth, I through thy rubble sift Though vain my search, I will comply For who can serve so bold a gift To rouse in man contented sigh Or render peace… my spirit lift So go then, seek, to draw one nigh
I would, if found, a wife to wed To place above mere passions heat A crown of joy to grace my head Blushing children about my feet For feckless whimsy - it is sadly said, Is all that rose to morning greet
In winsome heart do plant this seed… You now reignin

Ode To LoveWhispers lost in gentle sighing, Blown chances hung on shallow walls,Ode To Love
Hearts laid broken and crying,
Tear-drops run in raging falls,
Draw me down to darkened dreaming,
Long for me in silvered night,
Hold me true in tender arms,

When you had broken all my qualms.
Heart-felt trumpets filled with laughter,
Kissing falls on gentle lips,
Lingering honey on tongues ever after,
Drunken down in longing sips.
Your eyes of turquoise sifting skies,
Your hands of softened lig

Ode to the Boar's Bane LoversO heed this story from Calydon’s king, Who sacrificed to all the gods save one, And she, in rage, unleashed a fearsome thing: Then Artemis’ boar did wild run. The people fled, at Oeneus’ entreat, And heroes past rose up to try their hands To slay the beast, and capture honor great. The king’s own son said he would lead the feat. Against this creature few mortals could stand. The warriors left, and bade the country wait.Ode to the Boar's Bane Lovers

Song of PassageTo thrive, be loved, held dear - our song Hearts fondly held by those blood bound From youth… yea, babes do sing along In helpless seasons, caring found Yet toddler years were soon to end - Then trials with tears come drawing near To cloud fair child with sinking doubts Few weeks would pass but sorrows send Grim days which strife had stabbed by fear And nights impaled with combat shoutsSong of Passage
When passing through the cast of days Sweet peace, it’s blissful presence sought Though seeming few they brew bright praise With echoes of dear melodies caught

And so the cold came –
Without warning, without sound.
With tendrils of ice that thickened,
As the tides of Summer unwound.
