*pit... pat..* So goes the Rain's silent ballad. Each pit a pat, a heavy pat on your sweet head. Pittering pats of despair and dread pointing toward tragedy dead ahead... *pit... pat...* Each pat on your soft head rips a pit into my stomach. I gaze up... and then down. ...How many more can you stomach? *pit... pat...* One too many... your lifeless body... ... with the Poet above I plead... *pit... pat...* The ballad wets the pavement, the scarlet a testament of the poetic intent: our lament. *pit... pat... ...pit.*

Life’s a flight in the Night - once whence, then thence - a perpetual fight… Frigid is the Night. Blowing winds bellow, Birds they bring down like an arrow. Though their fate be full of contempt, flight the Birds still attempt. Frightening, the sight Frigid, the Night One winter day, a Fog of Light was blown so high, it lit up the Sky. Dusk pierced by Dawn, it was the End of All, the Avians‘ downfall. Frightening, the Night Frigid, this sight Though infinite in power, the fog made Them cower. Into the Ground they dove, yet for the Sky still strove, Their stars now but a dream within a dream . Though, one summer day, Night broke through the dark - and revealed the stars high above. …in their seat shrouded in Night, They shine ever bright.

Frigid is the Night, Bedivere
Who is which – I the One, or the other? Another another… Here I hear the ones each the other, Noone the One. You they pray to, ask for You they do. Yet their aim never be true… Antaios the Somber, Hercules‘ Challenger. Weather the bother, wake a slumped Brother – You, Antaios Above!

An Antaios
Confusion and nothingness, a darkened and dead kaleidoscope, tons of colors at hand Barely visible I have trouble seeing any of them Only feeling Is all that is left Deep and strong intuition Yet still only Confusion and Nothingness a colored Nothingness - that is all

Simple Cold ...Spartan Moments pass impressions don’t the Impression of that Tree Wet and Dead I so dread I dread dark, cold and wet Yet the Night’s solace stays unmatched

Death at Thermopylai
In an attic at Night I sit contemplate and listen Sit on a windowsill below the starry Night Contemplate time moments passed, beauty of past Listen to my Heart hear the soft pi-a-no through Present Future and Past

Attic in the Night
Here I was told to rest though with quill in hand I wrest I fight setting paper alight with heaven dark and hell bright Hell is mine and His is heaven Of that there was no question Though neither were mine: It was just this war of mine… So I lost sight of day and night and spent my life in fright.

This War of Mine
Deep Dark and Dead Through Resignation animated an Animated Dead animated by having Resignated Is He alive Is He Dead One true One False? One out One In? Is He Even? (a figment of my imagination(?))

I gave up: Resigned All attempt all force: one farce - No use no effect... So sad yet self-contained; per se A universe of Glass Glass-ice-Glace An UNVERSE of Cold Uncaring cold Solace Solace in the Cool Cool and icy Vanitas And emptiness an emptiness That soothes all Exertion All Suffering All Joy Soothed and Calmed All Pleasure All Pain A distant memory Glass Cold Repose

The dream of Flight Flight Away Flight High Flying in Exhilaration One unique Road untraveled A Line through All Under Heaven All Over Heaven A Line of Eight Thousand A Pure and Chilly Eight Thousand Eight Thousand in G Eight Thousand Escapes in One And a gentle metaphorical return back To Zero A Zero that has regained its Lustre
