just down from the looking tree there over across from whisper place lane where the blond girls would dance their sins and leave their perfumed kiss brims behind on leaves and limbs and eyes sometimes there stands the lean-to shanty of stone carved by the englishman from willows' ferry with his love hammer and chisels and poems he made love to the granite places til dawn and the strangers wives too on some sundays when they were done at being their proper while serving blessings to their hollow gods and went for walks to pick the fresh berries and loving poetry from the man fruit tree with stormy eyes and hard and handsome hands lady ruth of densmore still visits on holidays and traces marks on the oak by the doorway with the fingertips of her belly well memory when butterflies would dance even in winter and thanksgiving was the dreams she kept after when the royal bed was crowded with too often lonely _____________ daark |

Lord Byron is a popular topic for poems. As I read that the royal bed was crowded with too often lonely, this poem is definitely by the dark master. For a different take on the subject, there is a poem by Yuka, who has a more sympathetic understanding of the man. Dark is good. Light is good. |
