the world never was
this world never was
nor ever will be mine
on me this world's sun
never did favorably shine
the fruits of this world
were for me but bitter wine
the mundane sensual food
too worldly on which to dine
love i would never possess
for which i would always pine
sweet melancholy is the only thing
in this world that is mine

the self portrait
the self portrait
painted in words
so unsightly
an image no one
will embrace
forlorn lovelorn
forever falling
the fumbling figure
with the unfortunate
disfigured face
the poor pathetic
pitiful person
that will never find
in the picture perfect
an appropriate place
®2019
sullen scene
sullen scene
drizzling day
crushing clouds
gloomy grey
mournfully moving
sorrowful shadow
driven down
sad slow
painful path
leading low
lessening light
stark save
somber sight
grievious grave

doctrines divide
doctrines divide
doctrines divide
the crowd cried
and i replied
they do they do
doctrines divide
the false from the true
the wrong from the right
the dark from the light
it cannot be denied
doctrines divide

love you
love you
i will
always
until
waters
and winds
all be still
when
lovers'
kisses
no longer
thrill
when sun
and stars
cease to shine
grapes
grow not
on vine
merriment
not made
with wine
when lovers
no longer
entwine
then until
love you
i will

love
love
for the love
of love
look not for
love
nor long for
love
let love
beget love
and abet
love
for the gift
of love
is from God
above
