The flaming ship of love that overlooks the frozen sea


The telephone defies a foolish wish

To hear the old voice brought from fatal days

That shrieked and flared the sacred “love you” piss

Of swirling torments raised against the grays;

Salute themselves and burn with raucous joy

That fears collapse and counteracts with dark

Obsession, seething reds and yellows.  Ahoy!

For no land seen from blazing, racing, bark 

That still maintains the preference, despite

The lavish lusting of impassioned freight-

The fire, ideal against the frigid bite

Of oceans deep and dull, though fierce with hate.

To freeze alone, or burn with pained delight?

Whichever way is chosen, sadness blights.



Check him out.
