The Fog of The AltarTo Jules Verne
A man feeling drowse at the top of the mountain, fell asleep.
He dreamed dreams
emanating from floods of seas.
In remote droughts,
he gave his fruit of smoke
on a simple altar.

There is an owl perched on the gum tree
Its pitch dark outside
Its silent as a grave yard
She clings unto herself
Her mind wonders away
she reminisces her husband
pulling her into his chest
Fitting into his...

By The RiverRoman General Julius Caesar
Gazed across the narrow river.
He must decide, now or never,
To leave Cisalpine and endeavour
To ensure his fame forever:
"Alea Iacta Est!" (declared with fervour).

Moonlit XanaduLast night, I dreamed a dream I'd never forget
When my tired eyes sealed shut at the tail-end of dawn
Morpheus spirited me away to a moonlit Xanadu; a sanctuary
Of beauty and peace. What a dream!...

Fearfear to uncover a mysterious pain
reach a depth of darkness hell
she blocked me out, and
heaped hills within hills
masked her ravaged heart
with forceful smile

spoken without a sound
crumbling body ruins,

Love Has Found A HouseShe is more than beauty,
More than words upon the page.
She means so much to me;
I've been given saving grace.
She is more than curves,
Not just a pretty face,
Someone I don't deserve;
I've been given saving grace.
I could...

About Headphones and MelodyOnce there was a song,
That reminded me of you,
While I felt so strong,
Under sky,
Of midnight blue.
Once there was a time,
While I played a favorite tune,
A pen and written lines,
Cried,
A thought of you....

The Rising Sun of DawnWhich words may lay at rest,
While my heart still beats for her,
'Til my dying breath,
Lays a faint whisper?
All that has begun,
Is a love in modest bloom,
Like the rising sun,
Meant to light a sky...

Concerning this reality;
She's with her man and he is,
Maybe a better man than me.

I wish to be the one.
How may I know truthfully,
That our time has come?...

If The Loving Words Fell Upon My HeartI'd write her a letter,
I'd write her a song;
I'd write her whatever,
Is on my heart.
If I had the passion,
If I had the tune,
Inspired, in fashion,
I'd write it for you....

We're not cool
We’re not cool
We’re in love.
We’re not looking for where we belong
We are free
We’re everything there is
To each other
There isn’t another
I’d want as my lover
You’re totally great
And my best mate
Still let’s be clear
And reiterate
We’re not cool
We’re...
