Tears of many colors pour
One day , red or rue ,
As the blue ones trickle -- cold !
All because of you .
Midnight pangs with black amour
Morrow clouds me grey ,
Weary wets of dingy brown
Why am I this wae ?
Daze of endless filthy drips
Upon me acid rains ,
Oh the many hues of the
Dalliance tears of pain !

The Bell
Ring ring , the Reaper king ...
Bell sounds twice the hour ,
Immured within a clouded mind
Twined by mirth and stour .
Misery misery , rue insane
Thrall of love's decree ,
Ever shall I pine in Hell
Exacerbating dree !
________________
Sad is the fate of those
Who never loved, early or late;
But to love and then forget ,
That is the saddest fate .
(Havelock Ellis)
A Catatonic View
Dreams to View
Under willow tree I bide
Upon me throes of pain,
Oh the horrid tears we've cried
A thousand years I've reigned.
Rain upon me day and night
This senseless dripping rue ,
Memories of that moment's mirth
Fades in dreams of you .
View the endless thrall of time
Under willow tree ,
Shall I bide a thousand more
Without the love of thee !

Lost the morning sun again
The dew upon the dale ,
Wings of dove and butterfiles
Breezes as they wail .
Lost another noon of blue
One more kiss of rain ,
All the flowers bloom today
Nightime as they wane .
Lost a silent starry moon
Upon a summer's rill ,
And the valley's marigolds
Sweet with daffodils .
Lost another gaze of night
Upon a mountain's view ,
Even if I tasted love
Sure to lost that too !

Rue and pain and sorrow , love !
Which shall be my bane ?
Pinning since a childhood's hour
Animus ! In me wanes .
Game the Deil makes me play
A constant leitmotif ,
Unfulfillable yearning bides ...
Merriment's grief .
