I learned in school but what a pity
Forgot raindrops fall with constant velocity
It's not by chance but a matter of balance
Betwixt the weight of the falling drop
And sum of the buyoant force and friction of air.

But to be very fair I really don't bother
And when there's smell of rain in the air
Without thinking about laws of motion
I take a brolly or any other precaution
Yet I feel it a joyous achievement
When I lay my head bare to the firmament
So they pour and drench me every bit
Dollops of raindrops cool and sweet
Can't be defined in words the wellness I feel
When over me from the tree the drops spill.
When the night's moon is a quarter
She stands in breast deep water
The skylight beams on her wish
If comes her way a catch of fish.

She's the robust woman of night
And it's no fancy's flight
She gritfully spreads her net
Even when the river is in spate.

She knows well when the tides swell
The games are not easy to catch
Where the river meanders to a curve
She waits low tide holding her nerve.

When the silvery streaks struggle for breath
She looks not real but a myth
A mud princess with a golden heart
An apparition seen but can't be touched.

On a river with eons of length
She struggles with all her strength
I won't ever get even a chance
She's too focussed to give me a glance.

From
Cold lips,
Echos the sound
Of
The widows whistle

Pulled by the call,
The spouse
Dragged his feet
Across cemetery ground

Driven by loneliness,
Now feeling regret,
As
The familiar face
Gave her
A
Smile

So if out late
One night,
And the
Hairs on you're neck
Start to
Bristle,
Could it be the
Sound Of
The widows whistle?

Wild as the sea hag
leaping across ****** bay,
Rosaleen
a vision of you
on this day

Wild Rosaleen
fear and love
in your face
can be seen

The world is wasting
for the lack of you,
Dark Rosaleen

Wild Rosaleen
tears of sadness
in your eyes
can be seen

Bring back the Dark Rosaleen
back from the minds
numbed by the machine

Wild Rosaleen
seaweed and grass
in your hair
can be seen


The name has been used in Ireland since the 16th century. It may have become more popular after appearing in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Rosaleen is also a poetic symbol of Ireland.
An old one, now we have access to the old stuff, this seems to fit for these times.

Wondering around
Formless and free,
Compelling curiosity
To find out what could be?

Constructing an alpha, omega
Labyrinth
Was seen to be good,
Entering the construct,
What great fun
To be had

Moving around each twist,
Corner and turn,
Celestial navigation was learned

Dispersing,
Fragmenting,
Self awareness did burn,
Leaving clues
At each twist,
corner and turn

Time of awakening
Has begun,
Lookout for the clues
To know you
Have
Won

Words are like keys if you choose them right .
They can open any heart or shut any mouth .

I opened up . . .
dumped out the words
kicked them hard !
       CRACK !
goes a breaking rib
There is no mercy that I give
Stomped them flat
Sretched them out
Made them squeal
before I made them shout
I grabbed them naked by the throat
Squeezed so hard I made them choke
I made pain flash in their eyes
I made them pay for all their lies
Their hot fear sweated out
I was resolved without a doubt
Red blood running cold
All their soul I bought and sold
I made them wish they had never been saged
Before I made a morgue of the page

What is this
You bring?
All wrapped up
And
Tied
With string


The excitement of childhood,
May this feeling
Never leave
What's hidden?
What's found?
Shake and listen
For a
Sound

Someone's thoughts
Contained inside,
Expression of love
Cannot be
Denied

Time to open up
"It's a pebble from the beach"
One that you picked
Just for me,
Only you're eyes could see,
It's perfect,
For me
I don't really do sentimental, but when it happens, it happens.
