Pink Blossoms

Published on Fri, 10th Oct 2025 at 23:06

by William Troup

Pink blossoms within a veil of apples, effaced my fears ... begone! what tender heart begat thee? I must find her time! yet sap ascends on broken arms whose relics lay wasting upon the sod; have I spring to lay thanks to thee? have I spring to

My Timid Friend

Published on Thu, 9th Oct 2025 at 07:51

by William Troup

She lays in wait, my timid friend, and sits on a happy end. Watching, and waiting, with boundless faith; will fate bend to her heart? this diffident youth prevails under fallacies of fear; what remains of me is still unclear, yet still she waits,

by William Troup

Execrable words upon my walls, their tarrying unknown! this solitary path bedevils me, yet what of you remains? this earnest heart continues, but not without regret, and upon the pastures, my heart does fill; where to hang upon my walls?

Falling Leaves

Published on Sun, 5th Oct 2025 at 23:31

by William Troup

Falling leaves under a mundane sky; their time will come again ... this veil of rain becomes me, in a maudlin sort of way, as summer departs in triumph, with a haven still unknown. Fallen leaves under good tidings feet; their heart prevails again ... much

Why Am I So Different?

Published on Fri, 5th Sep 2025 at 01:00

by William Troup

Why am I so different? Is it my mind, heart, or soul? When will this madness end? What will be the toll? I am further away from my youth, and fewer days latch to any sense; yet onward, I continue; Why am I so different? I am shunned by differing

The Drought

Published on Wed, 20th Aug 2025 at 23:04

by William Troup

Low upon the lake, a docile crescent moon; abash, yet stolid, and luminous to a fault. The stars lay silent, affixed upon the sky, and this thespian claims the night, as a daughter purloins the south. What of the black dahlias? in repose they haunt the fields

Hollow Dreams

Published on Wed, 20th Aug 2025 at 16:20

by William Troup

Hollow dreams awaken me from an anxious sleep; opaque skies cloud the arcane sun, and what looms is crushed beneath my soul. Velvet rays dry my eyes, as yearning beats no more; madness lingers, but not what's seen, and cerulean skies cast the pastures

What Game Do True Lovers Have?

Published on Tue, 19th Aug 2025 at 23:07

by William Troup

What game do true lovers have? garish clothes unlike any of mine? what ambient waves unfurl the sheets and beget a dream still wasted on the young? Look at me! they scream and plead; photos capture the naked truth and thread the walls on desperate screens;

The Summit

Published on Mon, 11th Aug 2025 at 23:27

by William Troup

Whether or not I will reach the summit, my desires still speak in soft, berry-shaped tones; a morass path of which I cannot recall, awaits for me in the appalachian springs, and renders a song that would leave the hummingbirds in awe; will my heart feel peace

Oh Tempest!

Published on Wed, 6th Aug 2025 at 23:35

by William Troup

Oh tempest, break the adamantine waves, and let this habitation breathe; what of the strakes that break the hull? a home for those smaller than thee. Upon the mast, our dreams are tied, as we await the gales abatement; what of sails that flail from the yards? a

Horsemen

Published on Tue, 5th Aug 2025 at 22:41

by William Troup

Sick, is death, and riven with plagues and preachers toil for life; but wait, famine is drunk on power, and fate. Fallacies prevail with weapons aloft, and heads await on remedies bled; but wait, the conquests are fairly seen, and death unveils his throne,

I must be down by the sea again, I must be all but me. I must be down with my dreams again, I must be all but free. I must be down, I must be me, I must be me again, but here. I must be down by the sea again, I must be all but fear ...

Decaying, it may be, the tree and all her dreams; saplings yearn for freedom, but death has learned to see. Competent, he may be, and unending as the tide, and hide, he may try, but further, she did see ...

Peonies Suffice

Published on Mon, 7th Jul 2025 at 23:43

by William Troup

Peonies suffice with the role of the dice; think twice, did not, yet thrice I tried, and memories regale the mewling advice. Peonies suffice with a hand on the dice; wish twice, now thrice, yet one is the face, and memories aloft in a gleeful

by William Troup

My heart must be a bird, for I have seen it fly away. Immortal, is my fantasy, yet still too far today. Fallen boughs upon the knoll, so nowhere is safe to land? what of me remains to stand, in the hope that she will return ...
