Or vain glory to us
When they muddle themselves
The trivialities of mere mortals!

Careless

by Bencity

Amigo

by Bencity

When friends became kin,
I knew good things could be seen,

by William Carlos Williams

Ecstatic bird songs pound
the hollow vastness of the sky

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (An Excerpt)

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th' inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

If wishes came true,
I'd spend every single one
Hoping that I'd get to have
Forever loving you

No Drama Without Love

by Bencity

She said she loved him
Just here for the drama
He hurriedly replied
No drama without love, said she
