Short Etic Poems

Life is more than bland existence
Let thy spark not fade away,
Meet ennui with firm resistance
Thank the Lord and seize the day.

O sorrow doth linger and last,
injection of formaldehyde —
preservation of solitude 
on shroud swept cliffs — they call my name!

Nebulous angels vacant worth
Foresee no fortunes adulate
Dawn's desecrated, faithless birth
Supine mother to stillborn fate

I carried two shillings, one for each eye,
For my love was a dying soul.
When she left I kissed her goodbye -
Covered her eyes to soften death's toll.

Funeral bells call with somber tone
Pulling at my broken heart
Angels implore she should never go alone
Precious love and I will never part

As ‘tis’ day lingers on, my soul mourns; 
Forgotten dreams of yesterday-
I am but a mere mortal
“Why shall I beareth such pain?”

‘neath the fear of man and joy of mate,
bequeath thy death and burrow thy fate-
‘tis a filament of life strung straight,
bestowing a trait... of death too late

Oh, life roll on with all your cares and woes.
We fight to win then death is how it goes.
Yet, there are tender moment of such bliss,
that in a second’s wonder can be missed.

Your seraphic glow in the yearning light
Makes for opaque me the second shadow
Entwined with mine two seamlessly unite
Come, let’s enfold lattice of dew on meadow.

Oh! That this rose be a symbol of love
perfect it blooms- your beauty it holds
your perfumed scent in the fragrance of

Begone, thou creature hovering o’er my door
Your ebony feathers evoke my anger
My dear Lenore was swept up in your wings
Nevermore to share her love with me

Oh, my child life went flying with wind
Matured when youth was still blind
Now waiting for my destined guest
Yes! when he cometh, my time will rest.

Fear the tap upon thy shoulder

Dread it more as ye grow older,

It will come, there's no escape

It bears a scythe, and dons a cape.

On pathways that lead to the dungeons of Hades
Macabre black ravens feast on decaying corpses
Through cracks in the wall see the dancing flames 
Hear blood curdling screams of the damned within.

            New life appears welcoming childhood
           meeting arrogant youth merging to serene seniority
           or to face abrupt end at any time.
            From womb to tomb leaving obituary.

The untitled sketch faded in terrible blow
It reminds me of broken promises
One last desperate attempt - in protest against line cuts
before the river burns its own artwork

Once upon a Monday manic morning I awoke in panic,
Panic with foreboding wrapped, into a world of troubles trapped,
I felt distinctly I’d been slapped, and from my bed of warmth been torn,
My eyes went wide, I cried and cried, that manic morn when I was born.

Ev’ry child born soon grows to taste the good and bad of life,

and whether fortune smiles on him or her – ev’ry child soon learns

that obligations likely follow. ‘Tis likely they will take a husband or a wife.

On offspring they oft times pin their dreams unrealized. The world still turns.

Listen to poem:

My Immortal

A raven made no shame of it, sailed past my opened chamber door,
Aghast, at last, espy my guest, the beautiful madam Lenore,
Said I, madam please pay no heed, with that said, it left abhor,
We then cajoled, read on my lore, exchanged a kiss, forevermore.

"Love"
