'To see a World in a Grain of Sand <br />And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, <br />Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand <br />And Eternity in an hour'. Blake - Auguries of Innocence <br /> <br />'I sit and count my sins by Chapters' <br />Reason counts them all in verse <br />What’s said and done can’t be undone <br />My fits of folly they do rehearse. <br />Ebullient blue to morbid grey <br />So now I drag these feet of clay. <br /> <br />A world of worries to release <br />No balm of angst's weary blow <br />From thoughts and words I shouldn’t say <br />Manic marines go in gung-ho: <br />Vitriolic barbs so wild and rude <br />From trivia misunderstood. <br /> <br />What ocean’s calm or flame’s enchant <br />When peace is lost amid the storm? <br />The wronged feeling indignant bursts <br />When plate tectonics shift the norm. <br />Eruptive heat without a light <br />A sad and hungry broken night. <br /> <br />“Lover lover lover lover come back to me” <br />Peels solemn through a lonely room <br />“My night after night after night after night” <br />Bows me down amidst the gloom. <br />“Dark despair around benights me” <br />Happiness no more invites me.<br /><br />Patrick Scott Hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/auguries-of-guilt-mine-and-yours/
