Riches begot with credit stock Power bestowed with golden crown Glory bequeathed with laurel wreath Marriage beseeched with diamond ring I hold you 'til the morning dew

'Til Morning Dew
Riches begot with credit stock Power bestowed with golden crown Glory bequeathed with laurel wreath Marriage beseeched with diamond ring All things beheld 'til evening red

'Til Evening Red
Why have you come? To weep on my grave, Mourn and rave, When all these years It was only I who shed tears, Whilst I was left to die in a corner, With no one about me to bother. Why Have You Come? To lay a wreath on my grave, When not a single rose you gave, On my birthdays. Why Have You Come? To beg for forgiveness, When you never cared for my happiness. Why have you come? To show for me you cared When you never knew how I fared. Away with you, you two faced knave, To you,I was always a mere slave.

Why Have You Come?
Skirt so yellow and bright
 Eyes blue and wide,
 with lips pursed right.
 “Where is your joy,” she sighs? Cotton shows years of wear 
still flows yellow,  and bright. 
Her lean body craves to share
 him hard and yielding tonight. After she threw the bridal wreath
 their joy spilled like carpenter’s glue. 
No longer did they sample from beneath
 yellow skirt and sweater taut and blue. Her scent is a flower named dangerous,
 so he struggles, pulls away; all the while
 wanting his graying head to rest 
upon her breast and relish the joy in her smile.

Skirt so Yellow and Bright
the gentle Equinox was ours though our time together was not always so you tasted like magic to me and we came together with all the fiery sweetness I imagined love to be two halves of the same coin it was I who dried your tears and you who held me close and yet I am unacknowledged you, my mate-no-longer, who walks the long road with another you have already begun to forget the heart laid at your feet yet, when I gathered the blossoms when I consigned my heart’s desire to the flames, when I laid the Solstice wreath beneath my pillow It was you I dreamt of.

It was you I dreamt of.
I come floating to you Mother, dead on the river, body bullet ridden: this is how God reaps His harvest of faith. See, those columns that support the sky now, carried once the roof of our temple. The fire burning the pyres now carried oblations to our ideals; But we face a jealous God consuming in wrath. Here I come, un-wreathed, unsung, wet in the tears of the skies, skin carrying scars of resistance, eyes open to the tyranny of faith. Clutch my hands, let me feel the love that birthed me, one last time before my Spirit moves onward and beyond to the worlds of light.

Harvest of faith
I bought white lilies your favourite flowers and I spent two hours to make a wreath for your head smiling at the thought of you in a wedding dress I made this wreath for your head but I lay it on your chest instead I'm sorry, honey I've been quite insane since your death

wreath for your head
running through the meadow under the scattered, shining stars on the dark sky, and after a long run, you'll start dancing around, swaying and spinning with that wreath on your head, the one that i love too much. and you'll get tired, and be out of breath, you'll fall onto the ground surrounded by yellow grass and wilted flowers, the one that you love too much. and you'll stare and stare into the stars, until your eyes start to close and you'll find yourself falling into a peaceful dream, filled with flowers, stars and me.
