Blue He measured the nights and recorded time under his sleepless eyes
Thoughts may have sculpted the moon.
Her cerulean heights, cloudless skies,
Daydreams and dark Inkstains bled through the atmosphere.
Sinking into the deep opaque and falling, one perfect drop at a time
Essence quietly undone by the ocean inside.
Dark lashes framing celestial eyes, stained-glass with stars inside
Windows to a quiet, soft-toned velvet soul.
Like a song forgotten until it's keys are moved,
All wrapped quietly in the shades of endlessly deepening blue.

Inspired by Yeats.The grip of reality released in revelry,
Cold slipped from out the hands,
From dusk to darkness the revelry
Fervently heated my frost-kissed hands.

I warmed them against yours in embers of dusk,
And was burning long after you had left,
Seared my soul and sealed my lips in dusk,
But now, I have nothing but lonely love left.

The Maiden'Twas on a winters night,
When broken was the silence,
In the clearing, two brothers fight,
Both of them in defiance,

Blood spilled on the virgin snow,
All for a maiden,
Of whom no one knows,
Their minds, with anger laden

One brother tripping over the burl,
The other brandishing his knife,
Ready to kill the other,
To end his life,

The light leaving one set eyes,
As the cruel brother watches with glee,
"How can you be so unwise",
The maiden cries out in agony,

The maiden rushes to the fallen brother,
The cruel one watches,
As his prize chose the other,
Trying she might to mend the notches,

Color fading fast from his skin,

Mermaid's Dream

Swimming in an endless sea,
Living under the water so free,
Light above, Darkness below,
Where it started, no one knows.

Searching as I transcend,
Willing to comprehend,
What more could there be,
Other than the endless sea.

Is there another world above?
It's inhabitants able to love?

What would I give,
To find a way to live,
Out of the sea,
If only it could be.

I know not of that world,
Its stories untold,
beckoning me closer,
Like a song from it's composer.

Do I stay or do I swim?
Lose some scales and gain more skin?
Should I leave what I know behind,
And seek out a brighter sky?
