Singer

Praise him who bides the day
With song on his deeds,
Not sure what to say,
But knowing his tone exceeds
All measure of mortal boundaries -
That his notes shall linger on the morrow,
When forever takes time’s foundries,
And dust has done away with sorrow.

~ Daniel F Mitchell

Shadows and Sand

We are only shadows and sand,
Blending into deepening shades of dusk.
We are fire in mystery’s hand,
Fragrance of bloom lost to decay’s stale musk.
We are vague promises broken,
Form and motion that time will soon rescind.
We are secrets vainly spoken,
Rumors on the dusty tongue of the wind.

~ Daniel F Mitchell

I Will Remember You

I will remember you,
When time has turned to dust,
Never to say adieu.

Though death erodes all trust,
My will, I must believe,
A memory shall conceive
Beyond this mortal lust.

When the stars are but few,
When the sky has no blue,
When the heavens are through,
I will remember you.

Upon the Buxom Wings of Night

Upon the buxom wings of night,
Cupid flew as the moon might ride.
Arrived a dim nocturnal tide
Of undulating, cloud-swept light,

Upon her skin of pearl white,
Upon her countenance of sheer delight,
Upon her serene station,
In a transcendental revelation.

I found sublime enlightenment
In the cool embrace of the moon.
I partook of her sacrament
In the steam of a torrid swoon.

In a beam of silver elegance,
The worldly mask lifted from my eyes,
And in the spell of a moonlit trance,
I beheld soul beneath her disguise.

Another prayer Sir
stick around
it's from those people
on the ground

we must help 'em
not like before
so lose that pen!
there is no score

unless you count
the sick or hurt
and all the dead
under dirt

who asked for aid
pleaded your name
the very ones
you always blame

for what? who cares
give 'em a hand
look at her
she can barely stand

why do we listen
not do a thing?
can't you hear
their starting to sing

''Your so good
la- la- la
love you more
than my Momma''

Sir that song!
how is this fair?
Hello! where are you
anyone there?

Dry Leaf

Oh, dry leaf, insignificant and transient,
Formed so, and abandoned so,
That your passing should have a fixed course,
That your rustling might linger for a time more,
That remembrance of your passing might linger,
This is the core want of my substance.
This is the dire need of my soul, oh, dry leaf.

Harvest Moon

Most divine eye of night,
Keeper of secrets old,
Here beneath thy keen sight,
What tales must have been told!
Thou scorner of the morn,
At high nocturnal noon,
Here witness on the vine
All creatures ever born
To rise and swiftly swoon!
Bestow thy silver wine!

Fair light, immerse me now,
My house of flesh and bone!
Consecrate my pale brow!
Hear my low-throated drone!
For all songs e’er begat
Beneath thy history,
Pine on, O endless tune!
For all the ages that
Looked on thy mystery,
Shine on, O harvest moon!

Swiftly Flowing

My life is just a dream
In universal flow,
And matter but a stream
That only time can slow.

The hours are swiftly flowing.
The time of youth has passed.
I don’t know where I am going,
But I’m going there fast.

Where did you get those backgrounds from?

[Michael]

I am not a God, yet.
Once I fool them, I will rise,
no longer a man.

-Michael.


There once was a god from nantucket
who told us, when we kicked the bucket
That we'd be recieved
if we truly belived.
But Frankly, I think he can suck it.

-Michael.

Here's a little ditty I call:

Ode to Jerry 50/50 Theist Troll

There once was a dope named Selliedjoup,
Who believed he found god in his soup.
But the word that he spelled,
Was just turd that he smelled.
Still he looked for a meaning in his poop!

~ Ghoulslime H Christ, Prophet, Seer, Revelator, and Masturbator

[ILOVEJESUS]

sellied joup
please don't try to dupe,
us with the poop,
you like to scoop,
from your minds stuck and relentless loop.

I was thinking how life seems like a river, it flows slowly at first, but as I've gotten older, it seems to be picking up speed, and it pulls you away ever more quickly from people with whom you hope to stay in contact. Friends I try to visit, mean to call, and then before I know it another year has passed.

That's funny LS, I was just thinking how life is like a big slippery slug. Hang on I'll go find a picture.

An astute observation! I confess that I feel like I am right at the edge of the waterfalls at times.
