LOVE

The morn is giving birth
To the dawn- yet to reign, still budding, undone.
Shall you play the earth, 
And me the sun? -
Why not? -
Let us go, let us go 
Where the blue currents run, 
Now hither, now there, now high, now low, 
Upon the lot...

A GYPSY'S LIFE

A gypsy am I, as I rove on the downy dale; 
Aside from the taverns, the fields are my only vale.
I drink from my carafe a fairy-fermented brew, 
And I dream of fair love, beneath a radiant sky of blue.

I carry within my...

OUR LOVE

Our love was an ivory boon, 
Which reigned with the angels in the night.
We would kiss beneath the moon, 
Among the statues in the light.
But your death arrived too soon, 
And so soared our felicity out of sight, 
Which was once so gold, which...

THE MUSE

I shall leave the city, the bustling town.
I shall walk to the outskirts of the wild plains, 
And drink from heaven mystic rains, 
Lying in the reeds, drunk upon the down.

My shoes are worn, of coats I have one.
I am a martyr of the...

A GARDEN IN PARADISE

I took her hand beneath the quivering diamond trees
Which shook their hymns upon us in the warm, October sun.
We found paradise in the glades beneath our knees
As flute and horn, wistful and fantastic
Swept through the redolent, scarlet breeze,
Near azure brooks which forever...

AN ECSTASY

Her long, dark locks wavered in the breeze.
As my soul ascended above the trees, 
All became a diamond light -
Brighter than any earthly sun.

I beheld her hair through a brilliant fountain, 
As her pitch-black tresses were overcome
By the shine of flaming, silver pearls, 
Until...

THE GHOST

Alone in my castle, a plaything of the breeze,
Indolent and tepid, my leisure filled hours
Lead my soul astray from the good, narrow path.
In the black tiers above me demons mock and laugh,
As more of them assemble below in the leafless bowers:
Those ghastly dark gardens...

SCARLET BREEZES

Scarlet breezes swirl through the square, 
Beckoning us to come
In bright, elysian fare.
A cello and a drum, 
Clarinets and trumpets
Arise and stir and glitter in the fountain, 
Around your sable ringlets, 
In the cloister on the mountain.

There are diamond drops of rain
In your long...

A LADY FAIR

I ventured out one pristine night
Beneath blue stars to a furrow on a hill.
I was one with the rose and the daffodil, 
And my steps stirred the grasses in the moonlight.

I came to a garden at the top of the down.
There leafy boughs...

MANIC DEPRESSION

There is a well of blackened brine, 
That knows no dell of air or sunshine, 
A volatile fire, it consumes the heart, 
The mind, the spirit, it rends apart.
And when the hell spawn is loosened in the night, 
Beneath the mad moon, bereft of...

TO ONE IN HEAVEN

Must I live in loneliness at such a price? 
I have seen her there again
In paradise.
Amid glorious streams, 
She consumes my dreams
As I behold her walking beneath diamond beams, 
In radiant gardens of silver and gold
Where all is new, where naught is...

IF YOU GIVE YOUR HEART AWAY

If you give your heart away
Then consecrate with certainty.
Make your union for eternity, 
For more than just a passing day.

For if her hair is of the skies, 
And her tresses are of the blissful sun, 
And her kisses unite you...

He was known by his nickname 'Shifty' Lars

   Who specialized in stealing brand-new cars

      He'd never get caught

         (Or, that's what he thought)
