Once wars were fought with sticks and stones
to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -

It’s kind of burning hot 
like Summer burns

Eternity bred from hell's darkest hole
Combine gruesome aggregates, hydrate the mix
Mould them and dry them, then stack up the bricks.

GRAIL OF TIDES

from the brewing storm’s steeping chalice
the breath of death’s journey awakens in quiet tides

Roaring Twenties

Nostalgia and age like bacon and eggs,
With buttered toast and jam on the side for breakfast;
And coffee, and a glass of orange juice to drink,
And a memory in-between to rethink.

The day begins with boring...

"betwixt the pulse of our heartbeat
simply present, head-heart linking
dwelling in time stretched blissful peace

Will another candle die...
