Watching TV
Braveness knew no boundaries
caught from vine then caressed
silently in darknesses woven cess
eat them all sunken berries
joys beholder breathed flamed fire
carouse were rages from within
built timelessly used time has been
words flatter all fine but no lier
such things wish heaven were here
this dazed sword swore thunder
who sang aloud through no blunder
tell of tails setting sails no more
the man I saw put them there
all within peach fair skin
and oh how he sang
if only others would try and dare
