Some Assorted Poetry...
This is a small collection of poetry which I felt like including on the site. Some of the poetry here was written by me, during and after a poetry class I took while in college. Some of the poetry here was written by friends and other people I know. Also included are lyrics to several songs which I like for one reason or another. Enjoy...Poetry Menu

The Memory of You
Such are you, O Spirit of God without equal;a sober face over these waters;
more than any other.
O my insanity! Behold,what was obscure and like wind, that came
without a whisper.
And O,how I behold
and hear!
Likewise the siren for St. Gloria
was a similar alarm,
and I fly falteringly
back to the Most Holy Virgin.
I wish not to think of them;
my imagination, curiosity
led only to ruin.
No peace,
beneath and also beside, but without that entrance
to the Divine.
Such are you, O Spirit of God without equal,
as sober as one newborn.
More.
And as a newborn myself, escaping,
to the sea which I approach.Or you.
The curiosity is revivedserenely;
enter those placid margins and approach
the deeps by foot.
And everyone
became happy.
Everyone.Without me:overwhelmed.O my insanity,
which renders me darkly submerged.
