Centuries of gifts
13 June 2020
Walk with me
in meadows of green
I am witch
of the land
The time is but creeping sand
passing through fingers
Death lingers
on the land’s outskirts
Body hurts
as it breeds
swallows fears that it yet feeds
Dichotomy’s stance
The shining
Magic awoken
from my heart
to my hands
They give and don’t make demands
Centuries of gifts
Reading of the poem:
Antaeus – Kyrie
A heron looked on
8 June 2020
The pond was icy
Surface a thin pane of glass
Like mirror it cracked
The gap extended
Glistening scales gleamed within
Their presence promise
A heron looked on
Slowly the surface did break
The fish would come through

Stive Morgan – Magic Travel
When the light dies out
7 June 2020
Light is love
Darkness breeds the hate
We translate
Emotions
Anger is a reckoning
Of the love waning
Northern star
Life is within you
Embracing
Nothingness
I feel it your soft caress
Piercing through the veil
Hold me close
Within your bosom
Love to flout
All about
The darkness tends to blossom
When the light dies out
Reading of the poem:
Quinn – I will believe
Recreating Life
4 June 2020
The anger welled up
Within the bosom that flared
Like forest aflame
It bore no logic
Curving through the mind’s landscapes
It shattered all sense
Easing through the flames
My worded intention spun
Recreating Life
Written in the context Ronovan writes Weekly Haiku Prompt using the words Anger and Logic. See here for rules and words to use.
Reading of the poem:
Shinnobu – Only by Love
It is always you
3 June 2020
I unwrapped
The gift you gave me
It contained
The endless
The skies reverberating
Love reigniting
We are one
Under shining sun
Glory’s wake
No mistake
In every leaf I find you
Nature’s rendering
I roam Earth
No longer in pain
Even rain’s
Still waters
Mind reminds when all falters
It is always you
Reading of the poem:
Shinnobu – Forever With You
When the stakes are high
29 May 2020
Mind travelled
Through the rising tides
Pregnant waves
Spilling forth
Seaweeds and plankton gushing
Like cry from a heart
To depart
From object of love
Like arrow
Piercing side
Forgotten the unwed bride
Widow of morrow
The sorrow
It wells in the soul
No control
Over tears
They spell out our random fears
When the stakes are high
Reading of the poem:
Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Official Video)
Deep within my heart
17 May 2020
Dance with me
In moves sensual
To the beat
In our feet
Rhythm of the waves chanting
The soul enchanting
Heart singing
The melodies slow
High and low
Move bodies
The backdrop a scenery
Of spring’s greenery
Take my hand
To fairy tale land
We move fast
Soul steadfast
The music flowing in art
Deep within my heart
Reading of the poem:
Sierra Maestra – El Son Hay Que Llevarlo En El Corazon
Rumbling in my heart
15 May 2020
Music set
Melodies thriving
In my blood
As they flood
The synapses of my brain
Through journey in ear
Parting point
Rhythm now disjoint
Like my knees
As they ease
Into postures of dances
Of my wild prances
Summer slow
Eases into spring
Daffodils
On the hills
Where I hear your echo ring
Rumbling in my heart
Reading of the poem:
PALO! “Al Monte” • Musica Cubana Salsa Jazz Funk
For life a tingle
9 May 2020
You ran on
Like an untamed horse
Kicking off
The saddle
Only thing left to cradle
Emptiness within
Breathing in
I will fill myself
With moments
That lasted
Within lungs filled with your taste
I draw in with haste
Unknown zest
For life a tingle
Within me
Deep hidden
Death and life as they mingle
They bring to soul rest
Reading of the poem:
Melody gardot – Love me like a river does
Toward river bank
3 May 2020
In air diluted
The wisps of springtime’s blossoms
Inconsistent ease
Small waterfalls pour
Inside my heart they gather
Derelict substance
They paired them by two
A single swan now gliding
Toward river bank
Reading of the poem:
Yo-Yo Ma, Kathryn Stott – The Swan (Saint-Saëns)
