Yet, for a while I saw; but how terrible an

Exaggeration! I saw the lips of the Black-Robed Judges.

Satty... Terrestrial Esoteric

Terrestrial Esoteric

Soft, features come together

particles of air splint just the other side of light

rhomboid wave lengths stopped at square

your rhythm, my bones

emotional stumblebum gestures brave

unwaivering, you beguile

you, sweet passion fruit calamity

mercurial, unwise, but your love burns no less than mine

obscure before the looking glass

shoals, etherial, fine

you are, voyager, mine

you are the first thought that comes to me

as I arc above our world

your tender, blue-flecked abstraction

drifting through curved space

through a subdivision of stars

etheral, fine

you, voyager, mine.

Satty... Alone...Edgar Allan Poe

Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been

As others were — I have not seen

As others saw — I could not bring

My passions from a common spring —

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow — I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone —

And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —

Then — in my childhood — in the dawn

Of a most stormy life — was drawn

From ev'ry depth of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still —

From the torrent, or the fountain —

From the red cliff of the mountain —

From the sun that 'round me roll'd

In its autumn tint of gold —

From the lightning in the sky

As it pass'd me flying by —

From the thunder, and the storm —

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view —

Edgar Allan Poe 1829
