We traverse the annuals since our youth, from a trek out the door and home to some floor, ere twilight dethrones from its crown, and bequeath it to the dominating dawn, my will-o-the-wisp does admit me into its innovative prime time,
Wherein, we sever out our preceding year of its difficulties and distress, and gift this current sequence amidst healthier days and to a greater contented life, admittedly, with our ablest foot foremost, we scale our calendrical passage amongst prosperity and efficiency,
These appropriate purposes remain considerably beneficial and welcomed by us, furthermore, we pray for the safety and security of our country and the world as a whole, and allow the flags of freedom rise high, and the flags of darkness disperse forever.

To die midstream
moonbeam of rosette
bloom
Unseen to down-pour
whites of greyness grown
Be poisoned spears to
soldiers gone too soon
From country-cuddling
hold and seeds unsown.
Through wintery cold of
dewy-morning scorn
Where lies comfort in
dreams of homeward
force
The soldier's toil be made
the clarion-horn
To cheering crowds of
clouds to rain-remorse.
And dust o'er dust, the
soldiers buried, reign
A waste of years before
the waste behind
As mourning silence o'er
medallions feign
Dethrones the rest and
battle-days remind.
THE EPITAPH
"A soldier shall ne'er
grow to death unblest
Unless uþon regrets, be
laid to rest".

Form: Sonnet
I remember nights when up alone
You sceptered my arms
And I monarch marbled my throne
With your eyes cute charms.
Out of my love came the songs
That changed your high pitched yells
To gentle snores, what throngs
Of dreams I had! Love make spells
And time breaks them
Like a heart. I remember nothing
Where the broken stem
Of our relationship dethrones the king.
