I cry to the night
A bitter call
A tone of spite
The wind blows cold
as screams unfold
the hellish falls
into the nights patrol

Can an old god hear
Can death hold my hand
as we walk by the cheers
My words a mirror
To another old year
hold me tight
this nights eternal snow

I am alone
In this place
my screams unheard
by civil ears
My voice
My need
My Fears

Do you hear
This mortal voice
in torment
in a hell of choice
Why My friend
Why My love
Why me.



Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

===================
as long as you write ... you have a voice and you are heard ...
and I dont know if I agree with the line
"in a hell of choice" ...
sometimes things are beyond our control or decided for us.
somethings we have to carry with us.
It is good to see your name here ...
take care of you poet friend

Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know
