Olympic Desires Born, Gods A'playing


Poseidon arose, trident a'gleaming.
Mermaids danced, fallen hair a'streaming.

Olympic desires born, Gods a'playing
Mighty Zeus often on earth a'staying
There below mortals stopped a'praying
Hades play, man's evil a'repaying!

Poseidon arose, trident a'gleaming.
Mermaids danced, fallen hair...

E dopo tutto, tutto questo, amore mio
Ti amo, ti adoro e ti amerò per sempre

Dopo tante false accuse
Dopo tante deboli opposizioni

And thou, De Vere, who scornful stands with hollow, cold disdain—
It’s clear to all, thy mournful cries...

Not with the bleating of lambs or
The tweeting of birds or the
Beating of butterfly wings

Spring comes
Silently--
Celtic through the Neolithic stones,
Unheralded by peering shadow-seekers
Rummaging around on the Second of

Banner on the...

softly or harshly glowing,
growing smaller,
end of cycle 
already written
in the fabric. 

None

to dry in the sun
 'til hard and withered 
we lay down
to feed the...

Quote by Vere X. Campbell

Keola – Rhyme

I know people who exist in darkness,
NO persuasion altering illusions,
Not ONE spark EVER pricking the shadows;

THEIR draperies are ever tightly drawn;
opaque lenses distorting weak...
