Night Storm
...A storm on the edge of sleep,
a night storm, a night horse,

As We Are To Each Other
...I am the reminiscence of you, since you were once me –

Break Away From Your Perdition Illusion
...Arise from shackles of darkness

Semblantes pretextos clarecen,
Gradaciones progresivas acontecen;

3 - Sonnet On Mind
...When reflecting on the nature of mind
Of what wit or wisdom do we dare speak?
For the wind in the sky is all we find,

Sweet Love, Your Cheek Is Pale
...Sweet love, your cheek is pallid and your crest
Is laid with spleens of winter’s iron rage.
Your lip is faint, and your heart now does rest

To Be a King For One Night

By the 8’o clock warning device

She’s Inferno Red with the prettiest onyx eyes

which insulates feelings and never gives pause
to express the frustrations, self hatred and fear
