Premium Member Destiny, the final milestone
My sizzling heart failing around the clock No light colliding with the dark to spark But essence dying passively through the dim Dream's wall burning by the fire of terror In a second, a sharp arrow infiltrates the soul And silently overflowing blood around its artery.

On the cliff at the Worm’s Head High above the horns of the bay I see the surfers ride great waves With horses’ manes That ever fail, but never end In the strong Atlantic surge In the estuary at Dartmouth Where the oyster boats dredge Turning and drifting in slow shadow dance Great nets of shells are hauled up And poured out...
