Flossy had teeth like a barr......

Or maybe 10 of them
Was fine one minute then out......

Diabetes I Hate You...Dishearten me if that is your will
I have seen countless others dance in your shadows
Abandoned, alone within your grasp
Bested through your touch
Exhausted they fell
Too tired to two-step to th......

In the Silver Glow of Moonlight...In the silver glow of moonlight you are all I want to see,
You are every dark red rosebud, every line of poetry.

Widows' Walk...She waits, and Oh so patiently!
every day she looks, ("Oh, might I gloat?")
for sight of that one trawler, 'The Forever,'
cresting waves, he, wildly cursing,

Noblesse Oblige?...The old King took to the battle
and leapt into the fencers fray.
“Noblesse oblige” his cronies cry.

Minecraft Pvp...I respawn,
Just to see another dawn,
I train,
Not knowing if something I will gain,
I fight,
Only to be bested by others' might,

I'm walki......

A Questing Eulogy...It is nearing 09/11

And what I wish was just a dream
Consumes me with the coldest fact.
