"Beauty is truth,
truth beauty,
that is all Ye know on Earth,
that is all Ye need to know..." - John Keats

Drowning Phoenix's Cry - An Elegy.

All the criss-crossing pathways

rocking me unto slumber betwixt loss...

All the humming skeletons,

ghosts of the past and present premonitions,

lighting the fire of incessant slumber last...



Hath I observed a sane moment sooner,

the malady of fate, twisted and wry, Dear Lord!

But Alas! so fated was I,

that now I lose myself

in a drowning phoenix's cry...



And wet, infected it falls asleep forever...

Dies, withers, wet lump,

ashes unburnt, resurrection undone, lost...

And here I lie, lamenting the phoenix's loss...
