From childhood's hour, I have not been as others were - I have not seen as others saw - I could not bring my passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken my sorrow; I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone; and all I loved, I loved alone.
Edgar Allen Poe
Ode to the Heart
When you close your eyes, tell me what do you see
Do you see thru my soul?.....Do you think about me?
Or do you see gardens ablaze with hells fire,
And your dreams that lay burning from lifes funeral pyre?
Perhaps a crystal Dragon, its heart solid gold...
So deceptive its power, its wings leathery and old?
Look again upon the Dragon, and tell me what you see..
Do you see only a Dragon, or a small part of me?
The Dragon lives eternal, bound never by chain
Yet a heart is so mortal, afflicted by pain.
Climb onto the Dragon, stare down from up high
Ride with me, live again soaring the sky...
Hobbes 1998
I just have to put a link here. I'm so proud of this boy.
This is my 15 yr. old's work. He uses a variety of mediums and styles. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe he's my kid.

Come away, O human childe
To the waters and the wild!
With a Faerie, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.~ William Butler Yeats ~
