My sins are washed clean 4 June 2023
Hear now hark My voice brings lustre To gateways Within Earth Igniting throughout the dark My body a spark Surrender I am stark Angel Avenger Rebel son To the bright seat contender Holy pretender I may lean Both sides admit me I foster Renegades My wings are repelling blades My sins are washed clean Reading of the poem:

Integrating me 31 October 2021
Shine on bright shine on me your light eyes witness vibrations they pulse through the throbbing mind seeping out of lids The pathways they twirl and spin on through neurons redesigned in memory cells rewind black of my matter Conquering the new dominions the lashes in flashes set the ground for dilution integrating me Reading of the poem:
Shadows - Giovanni Marradi
Heads covered in fuzz 18 September 2021
The down on her lips bristled at the sight of them they coloured street lights Her peach lips curled up her face mask of amazement her blushing cheeks taut Her muscles strained locked moving into position her body knelt down Every fiber lit she tore through blooming flowers fresh grass met her feet She watched them fearful her cheeks aflush from the run her hair in cascades They reached out to her features glowing in the dark heads covered in fuzz Reading of the poem:

The light spilling fast 24 March 2021
Cavernous shadows sight my eyes I follow dark inside A dialog between us overcomes cobwebs Thought expressed ringing through my head the message sits clumsy an attempt to understand meanings of half light Piercing ray resounding echo burning through retina the stratosphere now reckons the light spilling fast Reading of the poem:
Stive Morgan - Melancholy
Eyes seeing unseen
27 June 2020
Whirring soft
the wheels in motion
gather moss
as they roll
They pick up speed, lose control
from the momentum
Target lost
Blind aim untoward
they gather
second stones
ready now to break the bones
intention resolved
The victim
hair flowing downward
pining teen
chained to Earth
all but chest above the floor
eyes seeing unseen
In some Muslim countries, the women guilty of adultery or even of having an affair without being married are buried in the ground and stoned with the obvious result being death in most cases. Sickeningly in some countries even the victims of rape may sometimes be sentenced in the same way as adulterers or women having an affair. This poem is written to raise awareness of the conditions under which even a young teenager who would have been free to love in other countries may incur the death penalty and be stoned to death for the “crime” of being caught with her lover in isolation. I chose to accompany this poem with a beautiful video showing elements from the cosmos to emphasize the gulf that separates some people from the vastness of the cosmos.

Opposites melding
14 June 2020
Humming sounds
they speak of vessels
Thinning air
Lights alit
The will of mind to submit
to the loving waves
The outreach
The hand of the One
It relays
the blessing
The only thing now missing
reconciling odds
Princely speech
A new beginning
Bridges reach
beyond sight
Dark corners receive the light
Opposites melding

Sunset – Abel Korzeniowski
Dance with me
27 April 2020
Dance with me
Let the moon sway us
Persuade
Our footsteps
To overlook the darkness
On journey of light
Dance with me
Within me stored steps
Rival waltz
Of roses
I know how to strike poses
No foot opposes
Dance with me
Lift the darkened clouds
Bring colour
To the grey
Into your arms I will stray
Our embrace to sway

Afsaneh – Marjan Farsad / مرجان فرساد – افسانه
When dark contains sight
21 October 2018
Within a day dream
I gather features of past
In ribbons of kites
Sunshine awakens
Contentment a numbness sought
Shutting out the light
The breath a constraint
Recollections dark matter
Regrets confinement
There flies a small space
Extending light particles
Between you and me
I breathe in hollow
Extensions of my soul seep
Into the twilight
The play of shadows
A riddle for the seeker
When dark contains sight
Reading of the poem:
Space song – Beach house
Children face the light
23 September 2018
Blackbirds in mind swirl
Loud cries’ strident pillars felt
Weight in my tear ducts
Soulless creatures crawl
In the dark alleys some breathe
Agony in mind
Sun bursts in sockets
Jasmine withers in heatwave
Known features dwindle
Windows carry floods
From peaks to valleys we drop
Blood from the Elders
Crimson my waters
Morrow’s seasons shook in tides
Wavelength scorches sight
Dark eyes starry pools
Small hands tools of forgiveness
Children face the light
Reading of the poem:
The sky is crying – Gary BB Coleman
Crows invade my sight
26 August 2018
Dry pitiless cries
Resonating through my mind
Dull and hoarse voices
A glare in the eye
Beak a scavenger’s emblem
Robe mantle of dark
Merciless swirling
Cawing from morning till night
Crows invade my sight

Counting crows – Round Here
