by William Troup

Heart at play; gambolled away to beseech the day where we shall stay! On petal dreams, we lay in silence; a blissful stream did bring us thirst, yet not the first, as home flailed away with the wind. Heart at play; betroved away to

Fear Me Not

Published on Fri, 17^th Apr 2026 at 23:56

by William Troup

Fear me not, as I am me, and you are thee, as heart separates to echos of three; heart, a fickle thing, clings to hope it's yet to grasp; mind, a backseat, begins again and hopes to last; soul, a wayward thing, begets the toll the lover cast. Fear me not,

Raindrops on Strawberry Seeds

Published on Sat, 11^th Apr 2026 at 01:28

by William Troup

Raindrops on strawberry seeds; a mother catches all that she needs, as summers hand prevails with greed; what of winters heart believes? Flailing leaves in summers bind; a mother clutches all that she finds, as foliage creeps into every line; what of spring shall lead

Leverage Loses Love

Published on Tue, 10^th Mar 2026 at 23:49

by William Troup

Leverage loses love over onion oceans of old! Faster failing fallacies assemble as an apple, whose whole world withers; begat by beautiful bites. Winters weather worries as another angel ascends; each ember echoes excuses, yet yesterday yields restless

That Part of Me Still Loves You

Published on Thu, 26^th Feb 2026 at 00:06

by William Troup

There was a part of me that loved you, there was a part that died; as suddenly as you came, my heart did part the blood, and through the path, I walked, with no rhythm, and no sight, as the walls came crashing down; that part of me still loves you ...

Existence Is Alone

Published on Wed, 25^th Feb 2026 at 00:45

by William Troup

Existence is alone, therein lies the power; life, a fickle thing, shuns this waking hour. Glory of omnipotence leaves you and I alone; no further dream is needed, as existence will have grown. What of love and family? will peace cast a stone? father,

Her Smile

Published on Wed, 29^th 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,

Perennial Streams

Published on Sun, 19^th Oct 2025 at 23:19

by William Troup

Perennial streams bore a son, riven beyond their dreams; ramparts kept his goals at bay, in a citadel born from timidity. Abode there, as he is, as sandstone withers in peace; dust and tears gather in frames, whose memories have yet to be born. Perennial

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,

What Game Do True Lovers Have?

Published on Tue, 19^th 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 Tree and All Her Dreams

Published on Mon, 4^th Aug 2025 at 23:50

by William Troup

Decaying, it may be, the tree and all her dreams; saplings yearn for freedom, but death has learned to see. Competent, he may be, and unending as the tide, and hide, he may try, but further, she did see ...

My Heart Must Be a Bird

Published on Sun, 6^th Jul 2025 at 22:35

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, 5^th 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, 2^nd 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, 23^rd 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

by Sleepless Ocean

Author Notes: This poem was written for the first album "World of Wonder".

Upon the ocean, the airy nights are aloft in thrills; with shores instilled of what awaits; but still recall the whale’s song and its alluring call ... Upon the shore, the welcoming awaits in silent feet; as horns repeat in echoing bangs; then anchors fall as the

Complex Beast

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

Published on Wed, 21^st May 2025 at 08:50

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

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

Forgotten Goodbyes

by William Troup

Pools of loss, grief, and emptiness; these I wade with cautious eyes. Pain is the power that pushes me on, as flowers wilt in forgotten goodbyes. My soul may try to catch your shadow, yet so little of you remains. The weight of time may slow my feet, but here I

Am I Still Human?

Published on Fri, 31^st Jan 2025 at 22:31

by William Troup

I feel a sudden sense of despair, am I still human, or beyond repair? These waves seem permanent, unknowing of time, and fester in dreams that yearn for lines. These minutes are baleful, unbidden, but strong... so am I still human, or beyond repair?
