Than even his only son,
And to make his preference...

 We Danced  written by Poet John Heck

I penned a couplet for you today.
Rather, a quill manipulated
my hand and scrawled mendacity.
The misanthrope's who read the ode

Why does my skull feel hollow? 
As I wait for the shadows to fall down, to swallow

Emotions exhaust; they yawn, they...

“Darkness does embalm;
All things, getting calm,
Produce an eerie feeling;
Can it serve with a healing?”

To approach its end.”

With the bats’ screeching song,
