butterscotch
a sensitivity to time stored under glass
studying smears of dreams on a microscope slideshow
she's a delicate structure, crystalline sugar dissolves to vapor in saliva
~~~
turn the hourglass upside looking down
silicate sands slip thru lovers' hands
~~~
when all you perceive turns to stone
stoic queen reclaims her throne
Again I hear dispute
stop playing im no fool
and then proof 4 more then 3
stop spamming heresy
crossed lines that's far too over
i think this loss is the win
when lines crossed dont begin
he Savannah River flows,
smell the seafood as it goes,
home to the Atlantic

Dover Beach
Dover Beach The sea is calm tonight. The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land, Listen! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand, Begin, and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in.

Winter Up High
Upon the North, where winter holds its sway, The frigid nights descend with solemn grace, A silent, diamond dust along the way, And moonbeams carve the shadows of the place. The wind, a ghost that whispers through the pines, Doth chill the very breath that leaves the lip, The ground is bound by frosted, silver lines, And stars, like scattered jewels, their vigil keep. The long dark hours demand a sheltered rest, Where firelight dances on the hearth's warm stones, And weary souls are welcomed to the nest, To chase the biting cold from blood and bones. Yet in this chill, a stark, pure beauty lies, Reflected in the vast and endless skies.
