Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

Pax Verbiscum,

Here we are - March 9th, 2013, my 47th year within this earthly vessel; can't complain for what is life but an ongoing education. In my 47 years I've been fortunate in many ways - unfortunate in others, however, I've learn to accept it as it is, no time to whine and bitch about the raw deals I was dealt by an uncaring world, Hell; I made my own choices, therefore I'm big enough to admit it and accept the consequences for my actions. "It is what it is plain and simple."

I'll be including a couple of new poems and two new drawings. The drawings are full of symbology and I welcome all responses and interpretations regarding both my poems and art.

The Angels are worked in a piece I've titled: Forbidden Fruit; and the second piece with the Egyptian scarab I've titled "Awakening."

Since my last entry, my granddaughter... [line missing]...

I have an aunt whom helped in my early years of upbringing who is now fighting for her life; diabetes, blood complications and heart disease; I have a young niece (23) who has two little children (babies) as she herself is fighting cancer and has a cyst (or) tumour behind her heart! At times I wonder how life can be so harsh and cruel to kind and compassionate people, yet cater to monsters such as paedophiles and rapists? Some things really doesn't seem fair at all - especially in human suffering!

With that said let me now enter my poem pieces.

"Melancholy my Friend"

Melancholy my dear friend, come! Take my hand, paranoid is in full flight. Help me through this forgotten land, please come and hold me tight.

Melancholy me dear where have you been? Come! I need you near, the door is open come on in... [line missing]...

Melancholy my friend, what would life be without you? Sweet despair, manic depression - how it all leaves me wrecked and blue. Death I'm sure would be a glorious blessin'.

Beneath the grave's dank, moist soil, quite outline - shelter me from the waves of time.

Melancholy my sweet friend, come and tell me your lovely lies - beneath your shadows I'll even abide; cast your illusions before these tired eyes, eat sorrow take rest upon these shoulders - in with you by my side, I know I'll hear no saddened goodbyes.

"Loves Sweet Flame"

Come my love, let me taste one sweet kiss - ignite love's candle within my heart - fill my darkened world with lighted bliss; a light that will never part.

In thine own heart - my precious love is where it must start. Look deep within and pull back the veils, dive into love's mighty ocean and hoist the sails.

As the delicate moth dances about the candle, he has but one aim; his overwhelming desire too strong to control he drives into the beloved's all consuming flame.

Likewise my dear would I do my part, forfeit life and name - that I might be welcomed to dive into the depths of your heart; there to be consumed in love's sweet flame.

Love is the law, love under will.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts, feelings, art and poetry with everyone.
