Those lips that Love’s own hand did make Breathed forth the sound that said ‘I hate,’ To me that languish’d for her sake: But when she saw my woeful state, Straight in her heart did mercy come, Chiding that tongue that ever sweet Was used in giving gentle doom, And taught it thus anew to […]
O! how thy worth with manners may I sing, When thou art all the better part of me? What can mine own praise to mine own self bring? And what is’t but mine own when I praise thee? Even for this, let us divided live, And our dear love lose name of single one, That […]
I O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou, Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low, Each […]
Would you look? Would you take a peek? Into the great big void stare, Radiation bursts… blinding glare; Infinite routes to infinite universes, Infinite riches and beauties, Infinite “me’s” and “you’s”. Infinite possibilities and choices not made, Infinite dreams accomplished or dashed by routine’s blade. Infinite loves, infinite losses, Infinite half empty and half full […]

In Skelling, a dying Irish […]
Many worlds have I seen, On the roads to great adventures I have been. Many lives I have lived, In different atmospheres I have breathed. Countless worlds and lives I’ve seen lost, As goodwill and morality aside were tossed. I have witnessed heroes rise and smite cruelty incarnate down Treated with great respect, yet… as […]
In the darkest nights feel the power in you Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth Watching the days go by nothing changed, nothing new Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth. Almost every year, the National Final for the Eurovision Song Contest ends up or it is linked […]

Were’t aught to me I bore the canopy, With my extern the outward honouring, Or laid great bases for eternity, Which proves more short than waste or ruining? Have I not seen dwellers on form and favour Lose all and more by paying too much rent For compound sweet, forgoing simple savour, Pitiful thrivers, in […]
