A Headlong Plunge
Draped in the darkness of the night
In a weather so dull and blight
Sad thoughts like a deadly shooter
Come out to bombard her outright
Shaking off their fitful slumber
They rise from their inert stupor
From the reservoir deep, spill out
As through newly opened shutter
They come from an unknown hideout
As all trace of life to wipe out
Unable to

Plunge In Headlong
Plunge in headlong, into the void
Trusting in God alone
No longer thus by ego toyed
Fears and desires forgone
Dancing to the bliss beat
Imbibing fragrance sweet
Love does one and all greet
Singing our song
Plunge in headlong

"All commandments hang on this"
But such joy they found in killing,
so each neighbor murdered his.

The sweet dew of sonnets glistened on the shore
Lined with allegory trees
Dripping with fruit of poetic glaze

There was an ode of maidens in a field
Cultivating the finest of

Headlong
Our lives could never be the same
When tasting love that knows no shame
Or self restrain; we both give in
To the strong urge that flows within
As we let go out of control
And fan the flame of burning coal
Knowing full well this is no game
Our lives could never be the same.

Headlong Through a Minefield
My heart is seized in terror
as you flutter through my mind
running headlong through a minefield
to its dangers you seem blind.
I've lost my mother, father, brother,
will I also lose my child?
How can life be so cruel,
why must life be such a trial?
My prayers are always answered,
but the answer's always "no,"
my sanity is fragile,
I can't take another
