Gaiety of a promise

 

It has been a rough patch,

A dark misty place

Herbaceous damp marsh

The creature of the dark

Says “why cramp my desires”

Vile, by the sound of it…

Why do you stick on?

Far from what shows outside,

Fight your battles within

Stick to your sword;

Haven’t you heard of it?

Once a hero, always one

A Beowulf to the Grendel…

Destined to fight,

Destined to bring forth to the land,

Gaiety of a promise well kept!

 

 

 

The embrace

 

The smooth days passing, through gullies

Of life, the sun embraces each soul bright; 

We aren’t that different, the flowers nod-agree,

The mushroom embraces the frog, we two-

Sometimes the moon curls up desire,

Frothing right through the desire bedsheet;

The embrace that makes it true, 

The embrace that hurls tears of freedom!
