Passing the Trial
On the solitude of a mountain slope,
Silent but for the buzzing of a fly,
Fair Gwyddion is fillʹd with fresher hope
Watching the vapours vanish from the sky;
The beast was gone
The cause of all his woes
Altho the wars were done gulf‐tide of sadness flows.
Down the mountain tall bounds leading
Went the great god of the Celts
Tʹwhere Oxslip & Love‐lies‐bleeding
Intermingled with wolf pelts,
By the Golgoth grass receding
Demeanour nobly melts,
Wailing a wylde wail with a doleful sound,
Here INNOCENCE lies dead within a mound.
Britannia potterʹd solemnly
Thro dew‐drenchʹd bluebell wood
Tʹwhere Liberty had carved a tree
With names of famous good,
Supping the toasts of heroes from a cup of Vishnuʹs blood.

Balrog’s Legacy
Long‐horn hastily mounts his vampyre steed,
Replenish’d of it’s stock of scarlet fuel,
“Satanus, I shall help you as agreed,ʺ
He gave his friend a crackling, azure jewel
& giddiyupp’d
Yon the highways of Hell
To violently erupt mid Midgards cloudy swell
& shoot beyond the stratosphere,
Summer twinkled with the stars,
Satanus watch’d them disappear
Then made slouch behind his bars,
Stroking technological gear
To aid his future wars,
Placing the diamond in sockets to glean
Secrets mysterious filling the screen.
The Grey Tepig passʹd Jupiter
Uranus & Pluto,
Her remarkable passenger
Haulʹd reigns so she would slow
So he could look his last at Earth, that distant blue‐green glow.
