Till Light Breaks....

    I've never seen a night so long or so quiet A cold wind whispers her name through the pines While night clouds race across a starless sky sublime If God made the day, then the devil made this night Tonight my memories are chasing her in my mind And what havoc they wreak in their desperate plight To catch her, hold her, only to find, She has vanished, slipped away into the ...

My Yeats Kick Continues (and continues to hurt me)....

Adam's Curse We sat together at one summer's end, That beautiful mild woman, your close friend, And you and I, and talked of poetry. I said, 'A line will take us hours maybe; Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought, Our stitching and unstitching has been naught. Better go down upon your marrow-bones And scrub a kitchen pavement, or break stones Like an old pauper, in all kinds of weather; ...

molten vein of sunlight

at the edge of a cloud A seam of fire on a windy, windy day. The wind is roaring. The roof wants to come off. Trees beg not to be snapped. Here's a 33-second video...

Аладдин и Жасмин

С ума сойти, случайно нашла песенку из мулька "Aladdin" *.* Прелесть какая))) http://pout.ru:8114/WWW/mpf/Aladdin_i_Zhasmin.mp3 Слова: I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride A whole new world A new fantastic point ...

.

this one is a favorite.  i keep forgetting to submit it. kansas lazy green velvet-furred land in repose. knotted chains of farm-then-farm, the sky a censored spiderweb aloof with clouds; now a wooden house beneath behind the bruise and veil of storm, multihued wind with all the wheat a song. to me, the monotony most clearly burned a mark; not the history or quaint silos and water towers, ...

Seduced by a pop princess

OK, my current favorite song I will listen to over 'n' over'n'over'n'over'n'over'n'over: Extraordinary (Mandy Moore) I was a daydream Quiet and unseen I lived in stories, but inside I kept a mystery I was a starling Nobody's darling Flying in perfect circles just for company. And now I'm ready And now I'm ready And now I'm ready to be Extraordinary A midnight airplane A window glowing I...

"Lingering in the Golden Dream"--NPM, Day 25

 I've been in the mood for rivers, lazy boat rides, and stories of the fantastic. So this poem seemed to fit the bill. And read downward, the first letters of each line spell out the name of the poet's muse. I've encountered other acrostic poems over the years, but I think this one--the first I ever read--has moved me the most. A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky A boat beneath a sunny sky, Lingering...

The face of Christ

 FACE OF CHRIST - Chris Rice He shares a room outside with a dozen other guys And the only roof he knows is that sometimes starry sky A tattered sleeping bag on a concrete slab is his bed And it’s too cold to talk tonight So I just sit with him instead and think How did I find myself in a better place I can’t look down on the frown on the other guy’s face ‘Cause when I stoop down low, look him ...

about St.Valentine..

The story of Valentine's Day dates back to the third century. Under Emperor Claudius of Rome, men were expected to volunteer and join the army to fight in wars. Unfortunately, many did not join because of the pain of leaving their wives and children. Emperor Claudius thought that if these men were not married, they would not mind joining the army; thus, he forbade marriage throughout his kingdom...
