When I Am Alone, On Loneliness Bay

When i am alone on loneliness bay
There i sit in the thought of mine
A wondering world of imagination, a dream gay
Of all possible riches, wishing an ever fine
Seeing scope and dreaming hope at ease
Wishing for that, for that the mind dream
Longing to care, for those ill
All sweet butters and easing cream
Then a swift wind blows the still
Waking me from the stagnant sit
For all men in the world are but dreaming
Hoping for that, that fortune bit
Yet the running race ever a going
On a bay sand that ever sinking

My Name

I see the long rays and coming of every moon
I see the sun up there at every noon
Never a change of day not thesame
on everyday i have laid claim

Soonest to come is a day not to complete
Soonest i turn my name is delete ...
That my name is face without a face
But some letters, a word and the words i lace ...

In Windy Essence

What windy essence belie me so
As the flowers of my eyes stand naked bare
And a darkness about creep to my soul
Seems empty loomness on me it snare
Will the horrid harsh wind come to past
Seems seasons on me that water is drought
those long days of bloomness i set and cast
The silent scents before this come wrath
Of my eye, the dove richly beloved
Of my petals, the bees roamly chants
On my stance, the birds treely golf
Watching from above, a heavenly stance
As i stand here about ruin and pale
A time will come when drought will fail

Last Home

how is  home of the dead
Bare silence its field
The breathe h  ere is a green
with flowers left by kin

Tomb stone face quiet
louder speak the wind
of nothing walk by
silence seems serene

Did they live
yet only seems nothing
that time has but fill
they living days now dead

To unkwnown besiege
if they live
its all but a stone
An evidence of speech

The address - two dates
of born and death
and his name include within
and his left behind of kith and kin

Sorrow make unfair science
it's distribution of various hieght
the young and age
All lay within

Of their mansion they ve given
all to a space
six foot a place
of final sleep

And the living with love
couldn't bring him home
he is all for the rotten
to a final stay, a skull old bone

the home of the dead
its speech holds little comfort
cold old tomb stone
surrounded by greens

And the owl howl
the ancient land witch cry
Sends the massege
right way home

The Fool Court

The fool court
None escapes the riddle of the fool court
Each belly as empty as it wit
Each wit as full as others dull bit
One man's wit,another fool
Hail the fool court
Hail the wit worth
No man bigger as wit wall
Non  escape a wit fall
You grow to age, as a wit cage

A Word, Men and Desire

A word,fruit of poets paradise
With a touch of essence, he write his delight
of men,and all with sight
Men dreaming schemes dreaming hope
Hanging to that, gold as a rope
And his drown in waters of his desire
Desire,a blind leading a blind
its looms touches the mind
it's as a light as a fire

No Mourning Morrows

Want no mourning morrows
No running lakes by the falls
Want no laughing sorrow
No empty standing by the walls

Don't lock my door of morrows
Don't stretch your hands, where i can not touch

Don't shake your head, i'm no lost
Don't leave me on a lonely walk

I'm tears for rain to come
A drying flower for joy to come
I'm your dream to creaming dawn
A lonely child to a growing world

A Being

True, one night
I saw a shing being
up, there in sparkle
winkling at me
as my joy lit
thoght he stay with me
when the morning came
i see all cloudy blue

True, one day
i saw a shadow being
walking with me
his step were echoesd of my steps
bending bowing he was
when night came
i see all darky mood

Silence

See you not
Violence brawls silence
In brawls of loud voice
With roars of noise
To rule as king of voice
And be enthrone in reign of voices
Through all journey of violence
Back to home it's comes
To bow, in one voice
To lord silence

A Moment After the Sun

when the shadows are enlarging
benaeth the plane of the old blue sky
and a few stars are out peeping
looking for the moon rise
and the gaze isout touching
reaching for my heart
then, i will remember the kiss once
that did say the good-bye
