Annabel Lee
Image by microcinema.international via FlickrIt was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
The 4 Wives
Image via Wikipedia
There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
The Rose
Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it’s only seed
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken
who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live
Inspiration
Inspiration, thou fickle friend
Come in my moments of despair
Forcing the pen onto the paper
Forcing words from my mind
Thou allowest feelings tro go free
However sad I am,
Thou allowest my soul
To reveale itself
Inspiration, thou hast come back
Was it lack of a muse
Or lack of feeling
Thou wast pushed away
Welcome back
Thou, divine inspiration
