The dissatisfied painter
Consolations #3
Longing
The Seasons (October)

Those little things
Images Oubliées
Lydia
Vera Lynn
The echo cries
Insobriety

To whomever raised me
Du lac and the Queen
Words For Her (in the state of drunkenness)
What am I to do?
Childish Love
Anger
My Lonely Nights (That one emotion)
