Remember

I came upon a journey,
but I couldn't tell you where;
I've tried in vain to remember,
but all I see is despair!
I've slept through many a night
hoping the dream would come,
yet further did I fall,
and all that remained is scared ...
I came upon a

It came upon the high tide,
here, we've nowhere to hide;
now afar, on the other side,
rests an ocean so short of lies!
Poseidon dreams upon the storm
we've begat from stolen trees;
what it leaves?
we cannot believe!
... as frozen is the forgotten truth ...

Love did never consume me,
nor take its toll on time;
Her flowers bloomed in gentle winds
that yearned for me to begin!
My love did scream in glee!
yet scream of me in greed?
My ghastly fears prevail,
with tears,
as my heart does longingly dream ...

A jest
beyond your doors
yields little chance of succour;
what of solace
upon the floor?
this voyage
awaits the shore ...

Heart at Play

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

Fear Me Not
Published on Fri, 17th 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,

Slay the Dragon!

Slay the dragon,
flail thy sword, strike his heart;
where doth thou reveal the reins?
what of fire that consumes thy mind?
dawn still catches the eye of fame!
Merriment conveyed,
wasting away, in silent days;
noon fractured from violent plays!
Slay the

Hollow stone,
left alone;
bones broken
by eggshell words.
Hollow stone,
beating tones;
known faces
through every bird.
Hollow stone,
vacant thrown;
sewn rivers
to hopeful thirds.
Hollow stone,
left alone ...

lovehaterelationshipsadhopereflection 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 ...

A Stillness Found My Form
Published on Sun, 1st Feb 2026 at 23:59
by William Troup
A stillness found my form,
flailing silently away;
fame, a fickle food,
conferred the chosen day.
Crumbs of graceless photos
furnish the scrolling plays,
and then came the hawks
to denude the welcome stay!
Pieces of my soul adrift,
yet quietly, my

Death Is a Common Fight

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?

Her Smile

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,

Why Am I So Different?
Published on Fri, 5th Sep 2025 at 01:00
by William Troup
Why am I so different?
Is it my mind, heart, or soul?
When will this madness end?
What will be the toll?
I am further away from my youth,
and fewer days latch to any sense;
yet onward, I continue;
Why am I so different?
I am shunned by differing

Hollow Dreams

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

Eyes

by William Troup
No eye, for this eye;
as for me, you are blind;
as unraveled as the sheets
that await before my sleep.
No rivulets seep from my skin,
no fallacies reign in the deep;
for time is a war of attrition,
nothing more than a tradition;
and what of me, you ask?
my
