Author Notes: This poem was written for the first album "World of Wonder".
Upon the ocean, the airy nights
are aloft in thrills; with shores instilled
of what awaits; but still recall
the whale’s song and its alluring call ...
Upon the shore, the welcoming awaits
in silent feet; as horns repeat
in echoing bangs; then anchors fall
as the

No eye, for this eye;
as for me, you are blind;
as unraveled as the sheets
that await before my sleep.
No rivulets seep from my skin,
no fallacies reign in the deep;
for time is a war of attrition,
nothing more than a tradition;
and what of me, you ask?
my

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night.
Till

A Bird, came down the Walk -
He did not know I saw -
He bit an Angle Worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
And then, he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass -
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass -
He glanced with rapid eyes,
That hurried all abroad -
They looked

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the

Light breaks where no sun shines;
Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart
Push in their tides;
And, broken ghosts with glow-worms in their heads,
The things of light
File through the flesh where no flesh decks the bones.
A candle in the thighs
Warms youth and seed and burns the seeds of

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave

My thoughts
reveal a complex beast,
yet the morn is set with felicity!
Manifestations still regale
a heart that's yet to feast.
My mind pretends to be a friend,
but my hand remains alone;
What for tomorrow, again I ask,
as my dreams prevail and

Love should never
speak of time,
for eternity is invisible
to the blind.
Ghastly ghouls
may linger in shadows,
but the devil
may have forgotten their goals?

Enough is one, few is a rolling dice;
take a slice of lemon,
the lime pretends to be nice;
One is ethereal, real in their touch;
enough is one, many upon the ice ...

For as I was fearing it,
what's left was done,
and my tenebrous staircase
became unsung.
So lost in fear,
these ubiquitous fires
are felt by beats, in this lonesome heart.
For as I was fearing it,
what came was one,
and my irreligious steps
became

On desperate waters, the ships do yearn
to reach the goal the wanderers bore;
as precarious sails flail in might,
their dreams lay silent in their native shore.
These hyacinths are yearning for new growth,
where a new sun rests in soils unknown;
the perfumed air

Pools of loss, grief, and emptiness;
these I wade with cautious eyes.
Pain is the power that pushes me on,
as flowers wilt in forgotten goodbyes.
My soul may try to catch your shadow,
yet so little of you remains.
The weight of time may slow my feet,
but here I

I feel a sudden sense of despair,
am I still human, or beyond repair?
These waves seem permanent,
unknowing of time,
and fester in dreams that yearn for lines.
These minutes are baleful,
unbidden, but strong...
so am I still human, or beyond repair?

Hello water, fellow water, passionate in all your streams;
where you flow, one must know, yet still it evades me.
I sit beside you, never as two, and watch the world go by;
purest of parts, as forever my heart, continues to loiter here.
Dear water, clear water, immaculate with all your
