In an earlier incarnation, Hayden Veil enjoyed a successful career in software engineering, writing late-night poetry in pursuit of sanity. On 2 February 2020, the world of Hayden Veil changed: Ghosts became real and with its soul laid bare there was no turning back from the perpetual path of poetry.

Feuer Frei (tri-lingual poem)

Kristi lekamen – the body of Christ

on November 5th – valborgsnatt

Elden smeker mig – passion lurking

DEATH UNRULY – you bite unholy

This ist nicht main teil – butter on scones

a middle way – vardagskaffet kallt

Without you – ingenting

Alles gut – snow flakes – tรฅrar faller

Death becomes me

Slowly

Forgotten Gods

Briefly contemplating mortality and
the meaning of prayers never answered,
our beloved friends the Cyclops sees the world without depth whereas I stand tall
watching You all in glorious 3D. Divine
knowledge growing with every passing
day, our common goal must surely be
to remember the Forgotten Gods.

W

Who search and truly find
When knowledge clouds the mind
Why try to tempt the hand of fate
What purpose fills a date
Where restless souls abide

William

Uncle Bill
was always William
to certain people
mostly those
above a certain age
altho only once
did i hear some one
call to him as Billy
and then it was
in a drunken Dublin brogue
and held a certain distain
and you could see
the name
bounce off him
and scatter into the night
like so much paint
fading in the rain
from then on in
i always called him
Uncle William

OK, people, this has reached the good, for me reaches of 20 odd notes, now, OK, itโ€™s by my low standards a pleasant little thing, but, does anyone know what it is i am referring to?
I am making no points of any kind, merely curious.

Well… I asked my friend Mr Google and probably spent 1h trying but didn’t come to any sensible conclusion… My thread of thoughts were Queen Victoria had an uncle William (IV) but he didn’t have a nickname of Bill so that failed…. But William III WAS called Bill in some circles, NI for example but you made reference to Dublin so that didn’t link 100% either… So in the end I gave up ๐Ÿ™‚

What is the correct answer?

(In my defence I claim a non-British lineage)

d.r.e.a.m.s

Enticing you an extract
of a book about to be writ
A gripping tale of love and death
No crimes unpunished
No deeds undone
On shelf by shelf
Across the land
I write
you read
and the world a
better place for it

our wildest expectations

One day not far away from now
He will awake from fog and cloud
With mind alert and limbs excited
A rising Sun abreaking hazes
The tempting thought of running wild
Creating life where others failed
Forego the coins people longed for
Remaining true to values mortal
One day not far away from now
That May Come True

Prompted by a @maxmundan prompt:
our wildest expectations

The booby-trapped
washing machine
Never exploded
Autonomously defused
By a 38DD under-wire bra
