A place of Beauty
29 November 2016
Pick up the pieces
Myriads of shards are talking
Their language broken
Bear with me token
Female Prometheus runs
Flame a blazing pyre
Gyrating the wasps
Zero in on the flesh cut
In between bloodlines
We grew swift the vines
Dragons eggs incubated
Within wombs of dark
Lift me from shadows
The half-light crushes all will
Petrified gallows
Instill in me dream
Shower within writhing mind
A place of Beauty
Reading of the poem:
For the Dreamers – Evi Vine
In my mind
16-22 November 2016
They walk unhindered
In my mind the mice are blind
They walk in trio
They cower then run
All good things under the sun
Sources diverted
They float like petals
In my mind the ice is kind
Blue sheets for the grave
They shiver they pray
All happenings just a play
Life’s scene invented
They call trains of thought
In my mind the trains rewind
Tracks of never more
They quiver they float
In corners of darkened throat
Constricting the voice
Reading of the poem:
No ordinary Love – Sade
Overcoming thoughts of You
20 November 2016
The days fading fast
Into oblivion of nights
Detonation blast
The mind’s explosion
Into realms of darkness creep
Whispers of autumn
Widowed eyelids weep
Parting of the eyebrows raised
Holding soft the gaze
Remnants of spring’s path
Sun kissed blossoms now fading
The weeds invading
Gardens in simmers
Under a sun that glimmers
Dying rays wet kiss
Water down the hills
Dark tides flowing into sands
Ice into Islands
Ebb and flow pursue
Within the changing seasons
Shades of my mind’s blue
Hope of morrows faint
Reflux a lesson of tides
Tireless happenings
Rearranging stills
Breathing through invented gills
Dead canvas to paint
The brush strokes in clues
Overcoming thoughts of You
Bold red and blue hues
Reading of the poem:
Soldier of Love – Sade
King of Sorrow – Sade
By Your Side – Sade
The days of the bloom
26 September 2016
We designed them slow
Mountains in descent of glow
Pinnacles of grief
Steps a downward slip
Grasping understanding lip
Speech an upward myth
Falling into clouds
From skies heavenly blue shrouds
The fog revealing
Counting the mistakes
Piles of hollow riddled stakes
The game show of minds
Never mind she said
We’ll play moving pawns instead
On board black lilies
The days of the bloom
Your eyes white pearls gave them room
From cheek to the Heart
Reading of the poem:
Per le porte del tormento (Handel) Ann Hallenberg & Monica Piccinini
The scent of musk and jasmine
17 September 2016
I feel your fingers
Reaching out through the wind chimes
That desert breeze moved
The play of promise
From elevation to drop
An uneasy road
Integer constant
The wholeness of your spirit
Containment an art
Sensitivity
Outreach of the slow goose bumps
Your hand on my back
Old movements unlearned
Reacquiring sensations
Delving into Heart
Olfactory load
The scent of musk and jasmine
As our bodies blend
Reading of the poem:
Song from a Secret Garden – Secret Garden
In the name of Love
7 July 2016
Their vision scorched me
Thousand soldiers of darkness
Of untruth their flag
Is this as it is
The sum of all our hardships
Walking on the knees
I roamed the deserts
My hair running its own way
Talks of centuries
My shadows cast light
In the silence of their screams
As the widow dreams
They hardened their hearts
In the name of freedom’s rings
As their chains tightened
Martial waverings
Their walks valleys of despair
As orphans huddled
The suns in me tire
Of the cycles of tales dire
Reinventing hope
The blind men will grope
Their hands panic stricken tools
Their hearts emptiness
Power’s not prowess
Only throne of loneliness
Rotten arm in glove
When I live again
Walk with me in the valleys
In the name of Love
Reading of the poem:
Kafartu – Dhafer Youssef
Soupir Eternel – Dhafer Youssef
In the name of Love – Dhafer Youssef
Neverending Love
7 July 2016
In heartbeats they stir
Feelings swimming like small fish
Bent upon a wish
The stars are shining
They call to heavenly realms
As waters retract
The pathways shimmer
They are strewn with memories
Of our starlit Times
Decomposing rhymes
I construct you a palace
Built upon rivers
Your name forgotten
As the tides broke the seashore
Archipelagos
Rise through the blue waves
That surge from depths of desert
Neverending Love
Reading of the poem:
Fish Beach – Michael Nyman
The Departure – Michael Nyman
Love doesn’t End – Michael Nyman
Traveler speaks not
10 June 2016
Words come easily
The saying a treachery
For gullible minds
Phrases rolling off
Like boulders from a steep cliff
The tongue honey’s tool
Hypocrisy’s school
The pupils aligned like bees
Their uniforms sleek
Loving heart is meek
Sweet tongue-tied and faltering
Its messages sparse
Lying heart is weak
Its heartbeat a mere tremor
The voice compensates
There are sweet voices
They distill poison like milk
Double code their craft
Neither here nor there
Lost in the realms of the void
Traveler speaks not
Reading of the poem:
In a Manner of Speaking – Nouvelle Vague
In the Earth’s stillness
2-3 May 2015
The seagulls mewed on
Melancholy in their voice
Mere semblance of choice
Bodies may misrepresent
Inner choice of mind and soul
Tides renewed highs, lows
Ever returning to source
Where deep meets shallow
Inward, outward, light and dark
Weak, strong; one coin two faces
Sand seeped through my toes
Neverlasting steadiness
Of fading times’ strength
Wills willed hard, souls clung, boughs broke
Earth shivered out of motion
In the Earth’s stillness
Sand hovered and waters flowed
Winding winds rose high
Carefree thoughts wound down my mind
As summer’s whispers blew strong
The grass grows greener
27-28 April 2015
The grass grows greener
In a little hidden patch
Of sunken garden
Green with moss etched in the night
Twilight thoughts of never more
Lilies swarmed the place
Where daffodils once shone bright
In sunny fevers
A chill in the air stilled suns
Bringing morrows of crisp minds
Water flooded land
Reeds grew as marshes now crept
Where grass once swayed light
Blowing in photons that flew
Across distant skies came change
Flowers crept to shade
Blue, pink, yellow in trenches
Colliding safely
Thoughts rushing in my mind slid
To forefathers’ distant lands
Regal blue upright
Plumbago braved summer heat
Extremities crowned
Bejewelled synapses lead
To sights of distant deep blue
The grass grows greener
In a growing patch ablaze
With moon’s sunny rays
Blue gold red etched in the light
Dawn shines on forevermore
