Galaxy, heart erase, gaze tender, cold How do I love thee -- I cannot count the ways, for there are none. Not because the sun doesn't grace thy face with its brilliance, leaving the rays reflected back in a trance and even the shadows dancing as they trace thy golden reflection, guiding thoughts through galaxies tenderly gloved within thy gallant gaze no imagination can erase. Nor because the...

Against a browning hill oak trees' bleeding limbs are stretched; some drops release to softly fall some cling to dry encrusted scars. A few short months and we will walk beneath the springing trees marking their swords of thinnest green stabbing at the stars. And so, life seasons make their rounds in nature and in men the flower wilts,...

Thoughts From Home Or Not the Browning Version
Oh, to be in England Now that April's showers have gone And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, aware, Deep division or apalling apathy almost everywhere, Most do not applaud at funerals or turn their back, Do we not now have a premier posthumously promoted as semi-monarch after she was sacked Giving politicos too much credit...
