Ships Upon the Ocean
Mythica wishes me to curse her
might she tell the tale of our
troubles to find make script for the
fools of Olympus. She then shall
become pregant that the Gods of mortals

Nighty Night Granny
Sleep sweet child for the laughter of the leaves
has withered on the trees and the wind blows cold
as dusk calls with shallow, whispered breath
and nighttime masks the waiting dawn.
Let not a lone tear, drip from your tender eyes,
as you look upon me lying here.
I have seen so many things in my long life,
I have lived

I---it is time to leave now
G---grinning giving going, going gone

Nighty-Night - For Contest
Nighty-Night
Somehow it seems
In all my dreams
There are open mouths
But never screams,
Eyes reflecting
Eerie sights
Never seen
In faintest light.
Motionless
The sounds unfold
While, falling, I
Have naught to hold.
Fear-frozen muscles
Cannot flee
The demons that
Have hold of me.
Alone I lay
In horror’s grip
Unable to re-route
The trip.
And when the demons
Go away
I must face
Another day
Fearing
That with twilight’s wane
The demons,
They may come again…..
