Oh! Vexed candle—you!
What sorrows you look into?
With your crimson heart turning blue,
Like my wounds were of you.
As a flaming soul in an oyster's shell,
In the silent wisps of air, you dwell.
Sculpting your masthead with the turn—
As you burn! As we burn!
Of the rainbow! Of the...

Words—they come out—a blazing golden
Showering refulgence upon this night
Out from the winter’s waning crescent—
An altering air of mystery.
In pebbled syllables—tossing and rippling,
Trembling and flirting—
And constantly vibrating

are plucked off one by one.
The lovers prance outside her home
lungs bathing in the lilac...

Back to back, wrinkled and withered,
we lay in the garden
as sleeping thoughts flittered.
Crumpled in grey, bathing in dirt,
we will take to the grave
all the lessons we learnt.
But for now, who can say?
Who could ever forget?
Not us, surely,
who have mastered intellect.
The mammoth of knowledge,
a titanic of...
