And perhaps if I had answered,
It would have sounded no more.
But foolishly I let it ring
And left the stranger standing
At the door

It came again, the persistent tap
Of someone knocking...

The Folly of Man

Into that great abyss we speak fortunes, wants and frustrations
Seeking that witch can only give us solace to that that never bothers.
A million prayers go out into the night with fear and...

I craft poems by evening time since I can't slumber.
I'm dreary of the one with a springtime splendor.

MONSIEUR L'VAMPYRE - the foggy night
As dark a night that's hidden Paris streets
from prying eyes, fell on the city cold,

I am faceless

Tattered by actuality

Heart thrumming in my ears

Blind to prospects

Voiceless ... soundless


Yet I scream, mute

I will forgive for my Father God shall also forgive me
Forgiveness is my creed


Lo, I am sorrowful, I must forgive
Forgiveness is in mine heart

I. Warning Note

Your heart, I have seen
Your sorrowful heart

He would outwit them
As always, He’d done
Master has power, inestimable
He can’t be o’erpowered
So, good trade this’ll be

Yes, so right you were.
They won’t keep Him...

Love is unconditional,  but promises are not
When love is not requited such are promises, forgot

Vows deferred as if uncertain sounds of rhetoric
Seems times and seasons, rhymes and reasons were only shtick
Yet the desire deferred...

With the sweetness of a cool, delicious melon
On a hot summer day
And quench their thirst 
With the nourishment 
Of my...
