Walden, 1854
winds beat
at the walls
in howling rage
Inside
dim lights
in long halls
shudder and fade
winds beat
at the walls
in howling rage
Inside
dim lights
in long halls
shudder and fade
unspoken
in your silence
unseen
in your absence
and drowned
in the water
you walk on
unspoken
in your silence
unseen
in your absence
and drowned
in the water
you walk on

Seize the Day, 1956
Only the darkness
Why was I there for?
Why were they there for?
Died like a moment
Gentle like kindness
Only the darkness
Why was I there for?
Why were they there for?
Died like a moment
Gentle like kindness
i let them be a gentle rain,
i let them be a rough storm
i let them be a gentle rain,
i let them be a rough storm
midnight boughs
hanging beneath stars
onyx woods
and shy galaxies;
ancient souls
and twilights glow gold
shimmering
lost sunsets of lust

I swallowed it, your ache,
Your endless, raw ache,
crashing through me like thunder,
until it became mine
Solitude,
a wound, no one sees
A cry, no one wants to hear

hide black wings
and crashing waves
drown the broken beat
of breaking hearts
hide black wings
and crashing waves
drown the broken beat
of breaking hearts
dear gathering dusk,
enshroud me with
your capes of ether
dear gathering dusk,
enshroud me with
your capes of ether
and nothing is forever
and nothing is forever
inside so many pages
inside so many pages
some nights you can hear stars
making wishes upon your heart
some nights you can hear stars
making wishes upon your heart
