A Short Poem on Love and Silence
as silent as is she
so must my love for
her be
til time dulls
the sting of
her memory.
<undated>, found on a scrap of paper

They Were As Gods
Under a starred
Banner they built
The dream of a
Bright tomorrow.
They crossed the seas
And stormed the skies
To protect the
Freedom of all.
They even sinned,
Touching heaven
From which they gained
Hidden knowledge.
But pride and sloth
Sank slowly in.
Vigilance waned
As comfort ruled.
The believers
Soured and the
Mouths cried foul.
So they ignored
The rule to know
Thy enemy
As thyself and
Thou shall not fail.
In their hubris
They thought the sky
Could reveal what
Stealth and gold could.
They sought to strike
Wrath from heaven
Using knowledge
Gained from afar.
In their folly
They felt mighty.
They were as gods
And so they fell.
