CHOLERIC

In my time of calm

there is a great green unrest

I wish could kill me.

PAIN

My poor heart stalls and bleeds and stalls again,

as sadness carries me down it's unfortunate stream.

The determination to overcome rejection;

is the ingredient required to show the weakness within.

I wish your poison never flowed in my veins;

and your weapon, never broke my soul.

TRYST WITH THE LAGOON

She winked and tossed and gracefully turned,

luring me to dance to her seductive song.

Deeper and deeper I fell in love,

slowly succumbing to her advances.

She glimmers with beauty at day and at night, 

and no equal damsel is ever in sight;

for no such diamonds had shone so bright,

as the lagoon of the mainland bridge.
