Golem and Angel
...He was in love, deep, romantic love.
She was standoffish, aloof, above,
no need for pointless ideas thereof.

Threats On Doors
...The loud threats on the doors inscribed
Were from a Union just proscribed
For struggles it bloodshed prescribed,
And for them four Networks subscribed.

Once Upon Perdition

As genuflecting pylons,
sent ramifications through the trees
Chaos looked at reason,
