I had been traveling from Los Angeles, to Salt Lake City;
And the scenery along...

There is NO reason to worry about me leaving you. 
Without you what would I do? 
No one else knows how to be true.

There is a picture of you on my bedroom wall
Drawn by my own simpering hand
Of your divine features and veiled Oriental eyes
Scratched out by the crude tool of a 2B pencil
Alas I had no mosaic...

There is no thing so peaceful
As a winters night in the woods--
A canopy as black as pitch, 
Spangled with the pinpricks of a billion stars--
Shimmering.
The banks of snow and downy flake,
Turned to diamonds by the...

From the car stepped an officer who gazed around looking for door numbers,
His head turned it fixed on a woman's house...

The wind exhales then breathes in deep
It swallows the leaves as the willow weeps
Swimming in all Her earthly sounds
No longer green, leaves touch the ground

There is the strangest light
I have seen it first hand
And it sure gave me a fright

Quoth The Raven

Under frosted blankets lay
On crispy frozen petals,
Sipping hearty beverages
Of dandelion and nettles,
As I gasp on misty chortles 
Reflecting in an icy puddle,
Deathly spirits reminisce
Outside my winter huddle.

Snow, snow, she hath no gold
To pave...

What to my amazed wandering eyes could it be?
A goblin or a ghost or a tiny warlock banshee?
Peeking in the door at me at a...

A red sun pooling like a drop of blood,
coagulates at the edge of darkness.
And the night swallows shadows in a flood
black as pitch, within a seamless starkness.

A gilded moon, a pitted golden coin,
gleams in the...

Blanketing the ground in white
A storm of raging wind and snow
Late one Christmas Eve night

It came to us with little warning
A blizzard of blinding white
While families bowed their heads
Giving thanks...

They Only come out at Night
Like Smoke throught the Forest
Floating in the Air
not a Sound to be heard 

Over Hills They go
Down into Valley's They Flow
Creeping slowly down a Road
Up into Your Driveway

onto Your Porch...
