selma 2d
Walls built, old wounds burn.
Sometimes it‘s not you, nor us -
it‘s just an old road, a familiar turn.
But on this quiet Monday morning,
as the sun rises,
I feel a sweet yearning.
It could be this way forever,
if we wanted -
just us two.
Sometimes I forget
how lucky I am
to be the one
who gets to love you.

Rain. Sweet Autumnal rain I cherish, hence
Like balm unto my soul; how it'd avail
Me after dark, sheer solace in th'all hail,
Its voice what calls unto my soul, defense
Within that note I've loved for years, a sense
Of yonder, yet of peace in that detail,
Though how words maunt express but seem to fail
My vain attempts to say what I know, whence?
Tomorrow is my day off, rain as twere
What Mum said's great for sleeping, which we two
Half need, it seems to me. I'm tired in tour
Frae crazy hours I badly needed, to
Be certain, yet which quite fatigued me. Stir
Thyself and save us, LORD, for we wait You.

I do so LOVE rain.
Lucien 2d
If you’re angry at me
I feel that my pathetic life
Has lost the little meaning
It once had
Onoma 2d
The rot-yaw of confounded

mouths, depreciate space.

Spiders weave dresses over

them.

As octaves speed a Grand piano

down  favored hills.

Lies are notorious, in attic rooms.
is the one you earn...

which is why we usually say,
with a tiny trace of irony,

live and (l)earn
...like it is what?

Oh me! The light is neither gone, nor'd veil
Itself in clouds, but, likeas wont, suspense
Haunts in the fragile eye of Autumn, sense
Aware of change, October's leaves to scale
So brown they'll crackle underfoot, the trail
To Winter's death wide open sans defense,
With sparrows' cheery calls and plovers thence
Crying oer these wasting fields as if hope'd fail.
Lo, to breathe in and see, to be in tour
Now in the midst of my fave season, blue
Skies on the fence though seeming halfway pure,
I revel and rejoice, tell others, to
Know I am not alone. Now Fall'd bestir
We all rejoice, as LORD, I wait for You.

The impossible challenge of translating the vision into words, or, why cameras were invented, haha.
