The Passionate Pirate

Memorial wall.

Below jagged white aretes. 
Strong young men hunt among the crags
Pursuing choice chamois and deer.

Valley maids harvest purple grapes.

From how they survived,

Fo'C's'Le Ashes

...Ashes collected into the collated casks and

          Pounding the seed of echoing hope.

Camera Land

...CAMERA LAND

Thank You

 People who are wearing colorful masks
 Hiding poisoned daggers in their casks 

I'm afraid of people 
 Whom over their head
 Carry the banner of benediction
 Then again at nigh...

The Barrel Angels

All praise the Lord
Warriors, messengers,
Ministers all

Others are tasked
With opening casks
And dipping out
Glorious new wine

They splash and toss
But not a drop is lo...
