Glow

Little spots of vibrant warmth

Glow bright in lively golden swarms

Through air full with giddy children

Small hands clutch, softly gilded

Fluttering wings weave to and fro

Yielding to hands both high and low

A swift release is offered most

Whilst some suffer talk and boast

Bodies move swiftly in the night

Causing fights in desperate flight

Avoiding quick fingered cages

Amongst a laughter so contagious

These tiny souls in the dark

Yearn deeply for the bedtime hark

The Hour

The hour shall arrive
So quickly unexpected
When silly minds contrive
An idea oft neglected
Their heads will surely thrive
On thoughts to be respected
Spreading jolly lies
While curing the infected
They shall blind the wise
Concealing words suspected
Hiding in the guise
Of knowledge near perfected

The Creature

Faltering steel built in a dream
Constructed by a monstrously beautiful fiend
Who dwells in the earth forever alone
Each day turning more the black stone
He slaves as storms rage and slaves as they die
Whilst no ears hear his tortuous cry

The Black Water Rhyme

Black waters surge from the rocks overhead
Dancing between cracks carved in primal stone
Shrill liquids sing in love's forgotten stead
As scars glisten in madness plainly shown

Endless chaos wildly waltzes within
Gray forms both weathered and smoothly ancient
Seething channels reveal sad songs of sin
Their power and lyrics all but fainted

The struggle ceased before talk told of time
Now the solemn trickled dance dictates death
And the smooth stones heed the black water rhyme
Of a great colossus who once drew breath
