Lest locks look silver Lest lips lose colour At last I lead off life... Alas! too late to live, No loved ones left alive Mind's a madhouse, a maze most vile Merciless Immortals The gods up high "Cruel, callous, capricious" — laments the helpless lamb Bereft of able body   Bereft of able mind The Highest Hive Hireling, Now a wasted withering wether While wailing willfully awaited The howling hellhounds to end it

Nightmare
The bright green vale & blue skies fade As she blinds my eyes with silvery light Like fireflies drifting by the glade Her presence kindles the weary night When gazing full she steals my breath With those light eyes & short blonde hair If I'm a frosty breeze, an omen of death She's like spring; serene, a breath of fresh air

Sunshine Sonata
Blessed be the Bleak Black Skies Where wintry winds wind far and wide For fairest fairies heaven’s vault ignite – My mind meandered whilst outside. “Beware Beloved boy!” – Babushka bawled “Lest your sleigh slides down the sleety lake Come quick inside to escape the cold Except my heart this Yule you yearn to ache” Seven summers since have passed And adamant as I always am, Torpefied are my toes atop the tarn Yet bare-bodied I be Showcasing my shivering sheath Red cheeks, red nose, and red feet Keen to knuckle under Kári’s decree So, I submerged myself swiftly Below Boreas’s biting abode Concealed in the coldest calmest of waters Within Winter Wonderland’s whitest For that freeze that forces you to fathom that Corpses can’t feel the cold
