Like the author's artistic creativity;
And upon the asleep...

IS SHE A ROSE?Look here there is a rose here
Beside me so velvet to my touch!
Should I cherish a rose this much?
This rose beautiful as she?! How

BlueHow did you get up there?
Up there in the sky so fair?,
Between the tree's bare limbs
Behind where the cloud skims
How did you get down here?

Sedoka of the Albigensian SongWill of Tudela
Whose zeal burned for the white wolves
Against Languedoc's black lambs
Nameless soul of gold
Guided by heaven's muses

Black And White
Angels and brides do come in white.
All things beautiful, light and bright.
Demons and witches prefer black,
evil ways and means to attack.
White, pure, inspiring, eternal love,

A visible length of...

Of Writing on Black and White
I could do black and let it be
tuxedos, black holes or the Black Sea.

Opposing principles clearly defined
express that black and white are not...
