For Abby Hurst
A beautiful girl is what you are.
You have your demons, but so full of love
We have yet to meet, but that does not bar
Our friendship because when push becomes shove
I trust I will be able to rely on you,
And hope you feel the same for me
Because my feelings for you are true.
I’m writing so you

For Chan Hurst - a Life Too Brief
With these twelve words...
art has no restrains
there is nothing that can chain it down
no fabric that can not be broken from.

In Memory of Chan Hurst-The Archaic Poet
Brother,you were a human torch
in a melanchonic orbit
of undefined wars
Now you are a pentagram star
mystical and magical
Pouring light and love
from a happier place
from behind heaven doors
Not so distant though worlds afar.
Through each verse and every stanza
you are.
Like Tolkien,your middle earth
was always the unknown,
Your soul has found its home.
A sculptor of word
A weaved tapestry

Chan Hurst Is My Voice, I Hand You My Torch
I hand you my torch, while I play the guitar
Tolkien am I, in my euphoric voice
Artistry, artistic, dramatic and poetic are my strings
My musical notes, will touch the sky and alive shall be the clouds
I will give many stars away, starting with brother, sister and you
Listen, accept and catch thus tasteful, and stylish write
Rhymer, rhymester

The Poets I Hope To Meet In Heaven - a Tribute To Chan Hurst 1979-2014
A few poems written by Chan Hurst, (Just That Archaic Poet)
I hope that we can find some comfort in them at this sad time.
"A Rational Explanation"
What must I do to see this through-
Unlock the world I never knew?
For all I've seen hath been untrue,
As all I've felt hath plagued me, too!
I am no more, past

Ethel Hurst 1889-1918
Ethel Hurst
1889 – 1918
I saw the town rise up
Like a single blade of grass after a spring rain.
I played a multitude of hop-scotch games
With my best friend Hannah on Penn Street.
And sipped a hundred ice cream sodas in the Mercantile at sunset.
My mother took me to Jacob’s Grocery every Monday
And it was I who
