the slowing of life_
eyes stare beyond this world

Swinging her legs in a casual, happy, carefree faerie way
Brownies gather around, watching, smiling, laughing
They have not seen a faerie sin...

But he has promises to keep.
Until then he shall not sleep.
He slumbers in bed while angels weep
The distance is leagues and eons-long
The pale moonlight is b...

As Her Beauty Rivals Red, Red Roses

Gift unto her red, red roses
And perhaps a kiss or two
In her portrait she reposes
With her beauty through and through.
Dare the dawn admire her beauty

Nature's Faces

Lightening strikes and crawls the skin
From the graves, the spirits do wallow
