| Destiny By Tamara Beryl Latham c 2008 Sand which fills the hourglass Scattered densely through the sky Blown by some eternal wind Into some mere mortal's eye. Harbinger of pain and doom When dark falls to quickly seep Into some mere mortal's wounds Now I lay me down to sleep! Destiny, the child of fate Fleeting through the midnight hour Marking those within her gate To exalt and then devour. As she sings her unsung song Destiny, doth slowly creep Powerless, both weak and strong Pray the Lord my soul to keep! Destiny will scourge the soul Scorch the body 'til it bakes As mortals pray, both young and old If I die before I wake! With a vengeance ne'er to wane Hail Mary, full of grace! Sending all men whence they came Pray the Lord my soul to take! |

| Between the Parchment (Rondelet) By Tamara B. Latham c 2008 A carmine rose Which fails to wilt within the hour A carmine rose Who's living poetry and prose Not the quotidian flower Whose perfumed scent would fade and sour A carmine rose. |

| Through Winter Woods (Sonnet) By Tamara B. Latham c 2008 As I embark through woods on Winter's eve Empowered by tranquility within In awe, my eyes now focus to perceive Where sunlight ends and shades of night begin. For beauty such as this is found per chance Where ice yet glistens on God's sacred trees Where heft of snow doth cloak the barren branch Where dwindling light embraces Winter's breeze. Enchanted woods once detailed forest green Yet pristine spectra beg the eye behold Now painted white in splendor crystalline As rays of sun beam down to warm my soul Still frozen from the drifting snows of time. My body stumbles drunk on nature's wine. |
