    Being a work-in-progress collection by the bard Mandrake Merryjest.


    Desolation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Here lie they, the ashen-clad,
    the umber-shod. The still-soft hand
    warmed by life-stealing, unfeeling warmth.
    The fire-taken, the fire-forsaken
    among the ashes where all solace died.



    The Priestess And Her Lord
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Moonlit grace in samite clad,
    Her flame cannot rekindle
    the ember of his art.
    What coils here in wait
    'round their guileless hearts?



    The Boasters
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Much is made of but little shown,
    The path is treacherous, seldom trod
    by those whose keenest virtue
    is the exercise of tongue.



    Still
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Be still, be at peace,
    the verity of silence
    surpasses all belief.
    There is no word
    that, being born,
    may not to falsehood turn.




    Acrostic
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Allow for doubt to blind thee,
    veering thy course away,
    Attack thy certainty until it fastens,
    tested sorely in duress.
    All thou knowest- call falsehood first,
    Reason, then, need prove the rest.
