Moments, Like snowflakes Enclosed in the hand, Drift Across my mind . . .

How gently we are born upon the wind of change, That mighty storm Reaching us as barely a whisper, How softly we are carried From moment to moment With scarcely a hair to rearrange.

Only since man, has there been a better plan, As we pushed through darkness, towards the sun, The flowering of that timeless seed, At last, at last, has just begun.

We import The world of open eyes Into our dreams, And lend the dreamer A definition He does not own.

Your vision of me Is my single covering, And mine, of thee, Thy soul's only modesty.

Can we piece together againOur confinement,From the laughing fragmentsOf its shattering?

Would you strip away All that is warm with hope,Mysterious,Full of promise,With the scalpel of your curiosity,Pare me to skeletal bone,Enchained forever by your sight,Your eyes,Your knowing, A camera, to steal another soul,A cage, repealing flight,A pot, in which to miniaturise,Is that who you would...

A potter, While glazing The outside Of his pot, Is amazingly Glazing The inside Of what's not.

A tide is rising high within, Of a vast, reflective sea, That hides with love, Yet fast begins To uncover eternity.

I apologise to all those who have so generously commented on these pages. Although the comments are still stored with Blogger - since JS-Kit withdrew the free service, holding all comments to ransom - I have yet to find a way to reinstate the comments, still with blogger - working on it.

I remember knowingWarmth & desire,Glowing embersOf long distant fire,To share a pillow,Limbs entwined,A new flavourFor an ancient wine,As passion stirs From banishment,WearingIts ill-fitting coatOf chastity,Its wild obsession, Shunned,Its myopic vision,Unwelcome,Its choicest wordsBest left unsaid,S...

Chased By the shadow of a cloud,A hair's breadthFrom eclipseBy solid darkness,Liquid gold,Sweeps across The vast fieldOf time.Her brush,Eternity's horizon,Her medium,Light,Framed,Only By this moment,Love's workingsUnfold.

Sails turning, Wheels churning, The mill complains, Unaware That its real yearning Still remains, To feel the will Of water and air.

A newly added feature here - access to some piano music, written by Ellumbra. Starting us off - Hypniano - a hypnotic, resonant piece - you can repeat for as long as you wish.

Chosen with care,A rounded flatness,Befit to spin,These stones,These words.Set in motion,Loosed,To a brief, Rhythmic flight,A skip, a skid, a skim,Bouncing outFrom the shore,Yet all too fast,Only the footprints linger on,An arrow-headOf expanding rings,Point toward the last, Marking the place,The mo...

As a shell upon the ear Close pressed will bring the sea, Within my heart, so faint yet clear, Is whispering to me A voice in kind to silence near, A zephyr stirring constantly, As soft as only I may hear Yet recognise with certainty. Lucid, though no word be told, Insistent as a drum, The burden of...

Walking the garden of my mind,Every moment,Might I findAs a kite to fly,Each wakeful one -On currents, rising, Kissed by the sun,Gifts of warm possibility,Pulling up playfullyHigher than high,Tugging and liftedBeyond to the sky,Where today's but a whisper Down in the trees,Of wishes unfoldingBlown o...

Where lies the beauty of a rose,If not arising up in you?And where the course a river flowsBeyond that source to know it true? Then nature's art is none at allSave we distill the greater part,As music charms no vacant hall,Thus, love fills an absent heart.

If we could glimpse that secret,Then conjour up a name,Approaching a likenessTo destiny's beam, Before the prism splits apart,That sole spring of diversity, The unwritten preludeTo all liberty,To each luxurious momentOf fanciful denial,Every conceit of the human heart,Would we dare speak That word o...
