&quot;We make up horrors to help us escape from the real ones.&quot;- Stephen King<br /> &quot;But I don&#039;t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry. I want danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.&quot;- Aldous Huxley

I sat watching the sun
Dance among the thrashing sea,
Like the electric souls
Of forgotten sea nymphs
Playing Tag.
Their song, pleading
For me to join the abyss
Of long forgotten,
Lovely little ghosts.
