Musick . . .

(from The Mourning Bride, by William Cosgrove)
". . . Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
 To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
 I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
 And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
 By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.
 What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
 Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
 'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs. . ."

Always You. . .

You've always been ahead of me
One fact that I
In my infinite wisdom
Could not always see
But in the end you always convinced me
Things aren't always
What they appear
The things I've always looked for

Once long ago before we met
I thought I could
Singlehandedly make the
Spinning world go away
Just like some king
from back in those bygone days
But I was wrong
I don't belong
Inside this category

Seemed to be
At the time to me
To my advantage
Missing why
Not knowing
When to try
To start believing
In my
Very own
Self
Determination

Sometimes at night
When I'm alone
The solitude
And the quiet can bring out
All the worst in my head
But now it seems that isn't to big or bad
I've learned a thing

Or maybe two
And just ahead
There's
Always
You
