This the blog of a would-be poet. As often as I am able, I will post a new poem. I may post sonnets, Haiku, other forms of poetry, and also free verse. Along with each poem, I will post the piece of music from which I drew inspiration. I would make the request that you start the music before you begin reading the poem. Music and Poetry are so closely tied, I believe they are best experienced together, and I encourage you to listen and read at the same time.

Introspection
Let me stand here a little while,
A silent sanctuary.
Do not let I myself beguile;
Show me what is contrary.
To live, a whisper in the sea,
May not always seem worthy.
There lingers, in, a want to be
The Thundre which speaks plenty.
The fire, yes, can bring about
The yearn for Death's release,
But equal those who do not shout
And earneth souls with Peace.
Do not live Life with just one look.
Show there is more than one right hook.

'Veni Sancte Spiritus' Lyrics and Translation
Veni, Sancte Spiritus,
et emitte caelitus
lucis tuae radium.
Veni, pater pauperum,
veni, dator munerum
veni, lumen cordium.
Come, Holy Ghost, send down those beams,
which sweetly flow in silent streams
from Thy bright throne above.
O come, Thou Father of the poor;
O come, Thou source of all our store,
come, fill our hearts with love.
