Franc Rodriguez Poems

There upon the twirling waves, a sudden swashing sound could be heard.
As the water billows then it becomes, the rising surf through the day.
From the far away distance, a lone seagull thenceforth appeared.
And the swell that quickly reached the shale, then ceases to sway.
...

The westerly winds come roaring from afar with such strength.
It brings closure to the springs, and shelters the summers at length.
Sea frets therefore slowly drifting upon the wider dales.
They pass the weir, and soon to cover the edge of the swales.
...

Upon the hoary halls of this everlasting castle, roamed lovers of ere.
Forlorn mirrors and portraits of a woman and a man of willowy stature.
Once soft petals, that gave a beauteous and pulchritudinous scent.
Now have but wilted, left upon trays of cranberries once so succulent.
...

Slighted and thus forsook within my hapless thraldom,
I sought everlasting bliss through his upmost rectitude.
In the worthy search of the pathos of his eternal halidom,
I languished and tarried forsooth in my woeful lassitude.
...

Heaven's gate knows no infinite boundaries,
for it is its moors that encompass its gates.
Often within the moorland to be kept open,
by a sexton whose shovel never truly abates.
...

It was foretold that a wrath would befall,
and gar the clansmen to blench in fear.
It would be a dreadful fright that in the end,
they would never come to forget.
...

A darkness of evil thus befell upon the clans,
within such a ruthless and wearisome path.
It came from the land of the Saxons and Jutes,
and spread swiftly upon the strands of the sea.
...

There was once a young king too blinded,
with wrath and under the spell of a witch.
It was said amongst the athelings that he,
was so brazen and lost in his madness.
...

For manifold years the kinsmen shivered,
within the shade of the wanton blood.
The days and nights were soon becoming,
a living nightmare for the sundry clans.
...

The cold waters of the sea were bustling,
with the sundry waves that would bellow.
They soon struck the depth of the strand,
as they billowed swiftly upon the shale.
...
