Regale them of our lore and its glories.
Listening with rapt notice
Tales of champions and menaces.

Woodwose The Hairy Manmeek, this hour
of a morning hue
shy cobweb gloss
in a frosted dew

though leaves a few
were woven in
a tempered bark-
like wear of skin
yet fleeting foul
and a peasant’s...

a painted ship
the deck, all deck
where she, the song
that lured me there
does captivate

she voiced a sea
the mouth, all mouth
cried crew that ran
and heard her tune
enchanted ‘neath
the waves
my Siren calls
repeatedly
my ear,...

Black And White
Angels and brides do come in white.
All things beautiful, light and bright.

Black signifies ever cold darkness...

they tried to cage immortal souls
Silently stoking his internal fire only brought to the

They were unaware of the binding of their own hands

The UnicornAnd there ...
I saw the unicorn,
The sunlight beamed
Off her golden horn
She just stood there
By the edge of the brook,
Never startled ...
As I stopped to look
It was just her and I
While all time stopped,
