Premium Member The Ancient Canticles of Autumn
It is sunny It is raining, it is thundering It is autumn From waking up to sleeping. The leaves are dry and passive And the flowers are dead and inactive Later, it is snowing The neighbors of the inn See the deer pass by All the holy day long And during the whole evening We feel the change of the nerves To welcome the new season Where...

Canticles of Necropolis
From silken mists scarred stones give tongue To canticles raised to twilit drear, Of frolicked hours when seasons were young, And Promise chastised every fear. Once brightly smiled upon our days The kindly sun of Life's beauteous womb, The reaching hearts, our breathless gaze Died not nor sleeps within this tomb, But thunders soft from lips long stilled No lonely dirge, nor dour 'plaint, For...

Canticles Five and Six
Faint with love! I missed the moment When my King was at the door Groggy slept While He was knocking Kept my feet from freezing floor Finally rose To catch the visit But my Love was sadly gone Now I tread the Streets of dawning Trusting He will show anon. Have you seen Him Women, Sisters? Watchmen of the City's weal? But you beat me Cautious, caustic Thinking all my flame unreal. He...

Canticles of a Withering Soul: Part I
Canto I: The Wicked ______ Wither and tremble awash at sea oh woe Woe is he, terror from sights even blessed would flee Serenades of night washed over him into the wrong Dark tides so high and undertow pulls so strong Wither Wicked winds have sailed across miles of endless plains Plain to see, evil sinews and dew drops of pain Inward he looks...
