Death Is a Common Fight

Published on Sun, 1st Feb 2026 at 02:09

by William Troup

Death is a common fight we find within the light; do you jest? or stay your hand? an ocean reeps the floor, with little chance of succour; and what of tomorrow? Death is a common fight we crown before the night; do you prevail? or flaunt your coronet?

Death and All Her Games

Published on Tue, 27th Jan 2026 at 13:02

by William Troup

All but left is ashamed; death and all her games leaves life a cherished play, in anguish ... yet decayed. This labyrinth of time yields plenty to enclasp; but death and all her games comes crawling with a tax. All but left is ashamed; death and all her

I Am the Glass That Keeps the Mind

Published on Sun, 16th Nov 2025 at 00:54

by William Troup

Assail me, and beat me ... sign; I am the glass that keeps the mind. Regale me, and picture ... find; I am the hand that bleeds the time. Fail me, and listen ... mime; I am the heart that beats the rhyme. Assail me, and fight me ... fine; I am the glass that keeps the

Her Smile

Published on Wed, 29th Oct 2025 at 00:15

by William Troup

Effulgent, her smile; soft and warm, where sunlight wraps its soul ... behold! Weary, yet dogged, the moon does ache; what of her day will grace this heart? Vast, yet sewn, these swathes of trees; deeper from me, her lies do bleed. Effulgent, her smile; sweet, but worn,

Pink Blossoms

Published on Fri, 10th Oct 2025 at 23:06

by William Troup

Pink blossoms within a veil of apples, effaced my fears ... begone! what tender heart begat thee? I must find her time! yet sap ascends on broken arms whose relics lay wasting upon the sod; have I spring to lay thanks to thee? have I spring to

My Timid Friend

Published on Thu, 9th Oct 2025 at 07:51

by William Troup

She lays in wait, my timid friend, and sits on a happy end. Watching, and waiting, with boundless faith; will fate bend to her heart? this diffident youth prevails under fallacies of fear; what remains of me is still unclear, yet still she waits,

by William Troup

Execrable words upon my walls, their tarrying unknown! this solitary path bedevils me, yet what of you remains? this earnest heart continues, but not without regret, and upon the pastures, my heart does fill; where to hang upon my walls?

Falling Leaves

Published on Sun, 5th Oct 2025 at 23:31

by William Troup

Falling leaves under a mundane sky; their time will come again ... this veil of rain becomes me, in a maudlin sort of way, as summer departs in triumph, with a haven still unknown. Fallen leaves under good tidings feet; their heart prevails again ... much

The Drought

Published on Wed, 20th Aug 2025 at 23:04

by William Troup

Low upon the lake, a docile crescent moon; abash, yet stolid, and luminous to a fault. The stars lay silent, affixed upon the sky, and this thespian claims the night, as a daughter purloins the south. What of the black dahlias? in repose they haunt the fields

Hollow Dreams

Published on Wed, 20th Aug 2025 at 16:20

by William Troup

Hollow dreams awaken me from an anxious sleep; opaque skies cloud the arcane sun, and what looms is crushed beneath my soul. Velvet rays dry my eyes, as yearning beats no more; madness lingers, but not what's seen, and cerulean skies cast the pastures

What Game Do True Lovers Have?

Published on Tue, 19th Aug 2025 at 23:07

by William Troup

What game do true lovers have? garish clothes unlike any of mine? what ambient waves unfurl the sheets and beget a dream still wasted on the young? Look at me! they scream and plead; photos capture the naked truth and thread the walls on desperate screens;

The Summit

Published on Mon, 11th Aug 2025 at 23:27

by William Troup

Whether or not I will reach the summit, my desires still speak in soft, berry-shaped tones; a morass path of which I cannot recall, awaits for me in the appalachian springs, and renders a song that would leave the hummingbirds in awe; will my heart feel peace

Oh Tempest!

Published on Wed, 6th Aug 2025 at 23:35

by William Troup

Oh tempest, break the adamantine waves, and let this habitation breathe; what of the strakes that break the hull? a home for those smaller than thee. Upon the mast, our dreams are tied, as we await the gales abatement; what of sails that flail from the yards? a

I must be down by the sea again, I must be all but me. I must be down with my dreams again, I must be all but free. I must be down, I must be me, I must be me again, but here. I must be down by the sea again, I must be all but fear ...

Peonies Suffice

Published on Mon, 7th Jul 2025 at 23:43

by William Troup

Peonies suffice with the role of the dice; think twice, did not, yet thrice I tried, and memories regale the mewling advice. Peonies suffice with a hand on the dice; wish twice, now thrice, yet one is the face, and memories aloft in a gleeful

by William Troup

My heart must be a bird, for I have seen it fly away. Immortal, is my fantasy, yet still too far today. Fallen boughs upon the knoll, so nowhere is safe to land? what of me remains to stand, in the hope that she will return ...

We Outgrew Our Hearts

Published on Sat, 5th Jul 2025 at 23:57

by William Troup

We outgrew our hearts, like so many things, and stentorian silence is the crown that sings. Our antique words, so brittle, unworn, may rend what dwells, and yearn to be born. We outgrew our hearts, like so many beats, yet dulcet voices is the rescue

What Word of the Daffodils?

Published on Wed, 2nd Jul 2025 at 23:47

by William Troup

The violets are lost, with roses in dwam, and carnations weep where the lilies may meet. The tulips wonder where the daisies sleep; and what of the orchids? the violets still ask. The bluebells pine for the sunflowers heart, and poppies are

Beloved

Published on Mon, 23rd Jun 2025 at 22:05

by William Troup

Beloved! manifestations drip from this weary earnest heart; as if someone, maybe a lonely rose, beseeched an early path. As carnations weep in soil, the kind I've yet to spoil, escort me, my sonorous wren, as I have yet to sale... Beloved! manifestations

Complex Beast

Published on Wed, 21st May 2025 at 23:23

by William Troup

My thoughts reveal a complex beast, yet the morn is set with felicity! Manifestations still regale a heart that's yet to feast. My mind pretends to be a friend, but my hand remains alone; What for tomorrow, again I ask, as my dreams prevail and

Love should never speak of time, for eternity is invisible to the blind. Ghastly ghouls may linger in shadows, but the devil may have forgotten their goals?

For as I Was Fearing It

Published on Thu, 24th Apr 2025 at 01:15

by William Troup

For as I was fearing it, what's left was done, and my tenebrous staircase became unsung. So lost in fear, these ubiquitous fires are felt by beats, in this lonesome heart. For as I was fearing it, what came was one, and my irreligious steps became

On Desperate Waters

Published on Wed, 23rd Apr 2025 at 22:55

by William Troup

On desperate waters, the ships do yearn to reach the goal the wanderers bore; as precarious sails flail in might, their dreams lay silent in their native shore. These hyacinths are yearning for new growth, where a new sun rests in soils unknown; the perfumed air
