Purge this poison from my veins
I pray for you to take my pains
Supreme your kingdom reigns 
If you can make and move the rains 
Then you can break satan's evil chains
Rid all that banes my brain’s grains
Wash out all the stains 
And definitely save my sinful remains...

Like a trap,was a pit dug,
On a peaceful journey,my heart fell in love.
Bounded with shackles and chains,
my poor heart felt banes.
A sweet memory,that i never wish to re-
experience,
like the pains of Christ on the cross,hence.
The earth lost is complexion?
my heart lost its sane state?
Gone imprisoned heart inmates,
i voice out into he winds,please pay attention!...

would I continue on this course
and ply the fertile banes of youth?
walk across swift changing bridge
and hold upon once moments thoughts?

saved pure regard of all surveyed
did grasp, release and plan before

the time now seen

what once was feared
and shunned aside

is
now
revealed
to show true light

permit the plan
to

allow
the
age
to
freshen

after a few drinks
one cold night
the Rev. Mr Culpepper
left his club
in the eastern part of
Jasper County Mississippi

on his walk home
he was taken sick
and stopped at the residence
of a dear lady friend
the widow mary banes

there hie took
a dose or two
maybe even three
of medicine
followed by
some liquid
libation

here he suddenly died
in a manner of minutes

his disease
was found to be
bilious colic...

A Montague. A Capulet.
‘Twas at a masquerade they met.
Two strangers caught each other's eyes
as strains of love began to rise.

Upon a courtyard balcony,
amidst the angst of family,
‘twas there the pair professed love's need -
though Kismet's kiss would intercede.

Alas, the banes of passion bleed -
resolving gest through tragedy.
The foils of fate singed hot as coals
yet death would reunite their souls.

Two hearts in heaven overflow -
One Juliet. One Romeo....
