Son Say Goodnight To Grandpa
“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”

as well as other politesse

Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy

The Raven and the Bard

The Raven's quill drips shades of blackest night,
Its haunting words, a melody of fright.

Shed history's warm light to chase away all care...

I’m on my way, I’ve got to go

whisked away in winter’s winds, your sleeping sighs remind me.

Three cousins played a “game’ of war
A map of Europe spread across the floor

As each of them wanted more and more

Ledger of Love

In the shadows of the Victorian night,
Where candles flicker with amorous light,
A forbidden love fiercely burns,
In a pounding heart, passion yearns.

Amidst the lace and satin array,
Where masks conceal bygone dismay,
A dance of desire,...

History screams, but its lips are sealed with silence,
A silence...
