Song - Howl's Curse

Go and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy's stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.

If thou be'st born to strange sights,
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
Till age snow white hairs on thee,
Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me,
All strange wonders that befell thee,
And swear,
No where
Lives a woman true and fair.

- John Donne

I feel so much like Hawthorne today - angry and rebellious in a strange way. Why must I always be myself? So I wrote this to vent my feelings. And it turned out pretty good. I like it a lot.


I long to flee
From the thoughts that bind me
Why should I stay myself?
What good to remain scorned?
My heart does not allow to be pushed aside
It yearns to soar
And doubt all who do not believe
Someday through my stubborn pride
I will show and not show or I die
Prove before my time, rebel against the winds!
But keep hidden the pain that lingers
Behind two hostile eyes.


- Hawthorne Blacklight
