Smile of Poseidon

 In the cold breath of winter, 

I am as unchanged as the sand beneath the snow, 

Settled, but unsure if this soil, 

Could, or would, ever let me grow, 


My hands are dry, tired and calloused,

and my feet dare to hold all of my burdens, 

I'll continue to work my aching soul, 

until the winter closes it's curtains,


With the eyes of summer just beyond, 

I'll keep my ambitions to the horizon, 

as my mind floats out to the sea, 

to meet the smile of Poseidon.

I screamed to the hallow skies, "Spare me, Lord, I impeach you" No answer to my demise. II. The waves started to crash at my feet, The sky was a torrent of darkness, Along this shore I've walked for weeks, and the sun was a w...

To Mrs. Louvierre

To my dearest wife; our entanglement was quick and just, and I- I fell like a leaf in the gloom of Autumn, our love is as gold as the fields of Rye,  and my promise to you is eternally solemn.    My promise is this, as honesty comes as fair: I'll love you until death divides our hearts, and if tomorrow starts without me, my dear,  I'll love you even as my soul departs.
