The sun's down yet night falls in so elegantly
Long, the clock will crawl
For sometimes on nights like this
the stars suspend above
...
Wings I flight in heavens blue
And clouds I hug to sleep
And sky of high was but empty
That yielded with the cry_
...
The truest woman that ever eyes
beheld at their deepest joy,
Made each hand, in busiest a day
The dearness of being capable.
...
Dear Age,
How are you friend?
So vast is the space between us.
Look! I am now a minute old.
...
Whose graves these are I think I know.
Their bodies are rotten 6 feet deep. though;
They will not see me stopping here
To envy their graves furnished up with turf and moss.
...
The day we shall part ways
Will come like a rainbow
which no weather forecast can foretell.
That day swift like lightening
...
And if love was ever real
It'd have chiseled us blissfully
In the fantasies of our young dawn
And bondly sealed us as soulmates.

Good Night
The sun's down yet night falls in so elegantly
Long, the clock will crawl
For sometimes on nights like this
the stars suspend above
shining
and my mind below sinks
pregnant with words yet unspoken.
Midnight, now drowns
me deep in the silent sea of love
with more hotness
than warmth, and so in bed I turn
and twist sleepless
For this mind swings pivoted
on someone beauteous like you
- spring of these unquiet
feelings
tuned to idleness
of dreamy scenes.
I'll frame the night of my thoughts
into a good night.
