The sorrows of hell
is the mortal death 
that befell the God/man, Jesus
as he bore the sins of mankind
to where they belonged....

Sarcophagus lay in the ditch
the wagon had lost its hitch
	dearest mummy was gone
	breath renewed by Amon 
she befell the wanderer’s itch...

If love had a name
it would be yours,
if your walk was a symphony
I would write instrumental scores

If your beauty had a price
I would gladly pay,
and if the night befell you
I would beg for another day....

Lived it
Like a daydream 
Sunlit!

Faintly
Floated - Befell
Quaintly.

A note
Scented in love
She wrote.

One rose grew to twenty-four
With the thought that most is more
Enchanted we that once believed
Love each petal, ne'er grieve

Once, that one stood up tall
'Til one befell a one rose fall
Now, I am one with twenty-four
Which the one, for one is more...

There was a lion who never felt full
So one day he went and ate an entire bull
He felt so good he just kept on roaring
A hunter heard him and bullets were pouring
Full of bull now, he did not know what befell him.

Alone at twilight on a bench
I heard a stirring up above
And looked to see, upon a branch
Were perched a pair of mourning doves

How I wish that they could tell me
What it’s like to have a love
But I knew then as the night befell me
It was far too much to ask them of....

I fell to Fire –
A burning lust,
And breaking sacred bonds, I fell

My mouth defiled,
My mind – disgust,
And in my heart did darkness dwell

But then, so kind,
A saving touch,
Upon my wretched soul befell

And Seraphs cried,
And Devils – crushed,
As I crawled, ugly, out of hell....

he appeared in my land
just like Adam in the Garden
bringing hope and life
the fruits grew luxuriant
soil became home of good things
then a serpent appeared from blue
the handsome man became naked
stomach bulged with greed
brain fool-hardy as rock
what a fate befell the land
as hardship came laughing
so it happened, still happens
in the land of the Blacks...

Forgive me, my precious, upon love’s divine 
What curse befell us, nights’ hours came alive,
They pushed me to shadows, tears burned my eyes,
If only your careless goodbye was a lie 

The floorboards, a-creaking, are now crying red,
As if they too were forced shut, I dare say they pled,
Feel a smile creep in; although I know well,
Is that not your rotting flesh that I can smell?...

She sits alone
On a rock on the shore
Where days before
She sat with one more

Her boyfriend her love
On holiday
When fate befell
On this tragic day

Swimming and enjoying
The times of their lives
Two dived in
Only one survived

She still sits alone
On this rock on the shore
She will do it next year
Like the year before

Sky, so simple and demure 
when yellow brushes blue 
hid in amber hue 

Wisps a wind calm carried long 
white puffs of day float by 
breaths of passion cry 

She winks her love befell a fold 
slowly moving closely through 
grandeur shines anew 

Secrets held a spinning orb 
shots seen round the world 
lovers dream unfurled 

Sky, so simple and demure 
you'll always be so true...

Lest we forget

When the Shelling 
And the Din of gunfire
Finally stopped 

His mind was shot
A hollow broken shell
Stood

Crooked in the corner of some foreign land
Every boy and man befell unto
Inspite of class or rank 
Come 1,
Come all 
To walk the plank

Into no mans land
Gods hands

As the marching band grew silenced 
Drowned out by the violence 

Of brethren slain,
Into the Dunes of Alamein...

And the rain suddenly befell
and suddenly ceased to rain.
Under the iris, someone drew
a flower I will call rose again
 
sprouting amid the cement,
smooth as a passing cloud,
I believe on her sweet scent,
she waves shyly and proud.
 
I catch her with my fingers
She has me with her thorns.
Love grows and pain lingers,
Undaunted by future storms.
 ,
A rose, true rose never fades,
Dyed with Aurora’s shades....

Spring on the woods has befell 
The sea of flowers blossoms as if by a spell
The old oaks have secrets to tell
As cold winds soft spring breeze will expel

On the open field iris grows tall
In mythology Iris with divine connects soul
She has rainbow under her control
And she is wonder to extol

Smell of the iris can make one feel
Beyond divine dream beyond surreal
In the essence of ideal
The secret and sacred universe it will reveal...

A sacred sacrifice
Had tampered fates
Befell on those whose glory one relayed
A heavenly fruit in disguise poisoned the king that ostracized

The lesson learnt was soon forgotten
Brought another fellow beast to life
Carriages covered in lavender leaves 
Strangled the malicious monarch that used to greed

The innocent one had emerged 
But it seemed as if the stars had cursed
Baby Luke was burnt to death
Only if the fates had been reset...

=========================

Though of my love you knew,
you did not treat it well
and cared not what befell
my soul for love of you

But careless as you grew,
the harder still I fell...

Oh, would that I had turned
away right at the start,
perhaps then to depart 
with just a lesson learned

But desperation burned!
Scorched holes into my heart
Now, with this torch I'll lie
and love you till I die

Saw family of four today
only three babies were with
mama duck, so something
unknown befell number four.

Living in the wild you
never know how long you
will be around, as I watch
them swim away, my desire,

is they didn't suffer very much,
here at Lowell Ponds, anything
could have happened, that is
part of wild life.

So I say goodbye number four,
to a short life,you had
on this pond, you swam so
freely, you gave it your all.

Shattered I, in countless pieces,
	Abandoned in the wake of that which me befell.
	Dust settles, and I retrieve the debris of who I was,
	Not knowing yet what I will become.
Broken me…but can be mended
	Fragments mine, in time, reshaping,
	Finding form and beauty in the chaos –
	A murmuration of those shards that were, are, and will be me.
Of destruction myself reborn,
	Ever to be fractured and remade,
	Never static nor complete…
	For even in death, I will be changed.

There is a town in Austin
they call "the Roach Motel,"
for many a poor roach that entered there
a sticky fate befell.
Now roaches, you keep our of there
whatever may entice,
for any roach may enter once,
but never enter twice.
My father as a crawler,
who crawled from dive to dive,
but he steered clear of roach motels,
and therefore did survive.
Guests of the roach motel, I vouch,
roach mother, tell your son,
need no   long-term pension plan.
Alas, I know,  I am done....

What I wouldn't want to relive
Is a night many years ago
When a brother could run so fast
But soon his life would slow

On the turning of that corner
Out of sight he became
What happened seconds later
Two brothers future never the same

As I ran to catch him up
Horror befell my eyes
There, gone, taken by a van
To my knees I sank and cried

Momentarily I heard his screams
Then a silence echoed all around
Who would want to relive
The impact of deathly sound...

The world is only so big
My world is only so small
The world... what you need?
My world... did I call?

Have I not yell?
Near heavens did my tears pour
Loneliness befell
Was it learned if not learnt for a self to adore?

Have I words?
Have I you?
Am I heard?
... I... Knew...

These of times... That of moments
Which be now... When be then?
Left behind... That broken
That found... Was the end

My world is only so big
The world is only so small
My world... Have I a need?
The world... Can I call?...

Lady Emily
Sits on a fence
Frail as Humpty Dumpty

Her "Life Closed Twice"
Wouldn't venture a third affair
"So huge, so hopeless to conceive as these that twice befell"

"I'm Nobody"
She whispers coyly
Perhaps secretly envious of the "admiring bog"

And because
"She would not stop for death"
He "kindly stopped for her"

As he does for all
Prepared or unprepared
Famous or unrecognized
Death does not discriminate



Quotes are exerpts from Dickinson's poems...
