    The trifle
    stands ready
    for the spoon

    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

    The sherry
    waits poised
    on the tongue
    numb

    Cherry blossoms
    like the stroke
    of a brush

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Sweetness,
    upon thy lips;
    forbidden the
    poisioned kiss

    Time
    Is no more
    No less
    Than time
    Here were we wretched creatures of men making for each other's throats, and outraging the good earth which God had made so fair a habitation [Prester John - John Buchan].

    What was
    that ruby
    drop
    falling
    from ether

    Dark, I was late getting to read this and I want you to know that I admire it a lot! In addition to the thought I like the half-rhyme of lips and kiss.

    the figure
    of endless
    troubled
    years?

    Thank you Kiz and Prince

    over the mind
