Barefoot Dreams
...Rattling through the bogs, my love in limbo
Battling against the odds, arms akimbo
Too late to tear down the walls that they've built
Ate a cat-o-nine tails and swallowed their guilt

Black Hole Love - I'm Calling All-in
...
I stoked the fire, you drank the flame.
I poured out my soul, you ditched the game.

Embers in the After Glow
...
In the ashes of silence spent,
cinders glow, tattooing the scene.
Even when I look away
the after-glow is still there,
with scars of burns that won't heal.
The after-glow sears into the days a...

Elixir

In days of eld
When moonlight danced on dew,
There’s Otin, a wondrous soul,
Did stroll from town to town,
With laughter's role, and gourd, and tapping rod.

The stillness of unbroken waters where reflections meet
The creaking and the straining as the old bridge wants me rid

A PARADOX OF NATURE

Not peace for loving kindness;
Human nature stoked:-
War bombing for peace,
No thoughts of building for love;
Wintering hate still dropping:-

Black Shrine

Where my father lit the lamp.
With dried dung in the cauldron,
My mother stoked the fire.
In the village, the sheepfold remains,
Where the ewes gave birth to lambs,
