Pedes Iter Mortis

The heel of man in chase of remnant toe
Eternal trenched these trails in mapping life
Shall dig and lift upon the surface so
To dictate chance and choice like wood to knife
In countless marks life's vexing breadth is wide
So comfort makes it's home in prints fore pressed
For each soul's path in tangent line collide
Yet sands untouched and they shall serve you best

Burning Youth

To follow roads all laced in veins
My darling sought to wander
"My love" I smiled "I'll show you pains
And leave you none the fonder"
She asked with tears to know the truth
How blood and bone are stronger
So there that night we burned our youth
And sought the truth no longer.
