In the minds eye is a picture
And yet in reality no subject
Would that I could turn the camera
Back into the mind
And share the vision I see
Of such natural wonder
As a shadow over the sun
Or a moon on fire
And even though these visions
Do happen in nature
I always find myself
In the wrong place for capture
But my hunt will continue
For a defining moment on film
For moments always happen
In this wonderful world...

Reviving Lost Dreams

here in the desert lies a ring of ancient stones.
here, where the sphinx shades the searing sand by day,
and blocks out the moonlight when the sun has fallen to the depths of the world
here is where we gather.

each of us a goddess, a priestess, a woman
our flesh tanned from long days walking in seach of this place
some pink from the hint of sunburn while others revel in their darkness.

upon each shoulder the eye
the symbol of our rebirth into secrets of a time long forgotten
the promise that those ways will not be lost

each night we draw closer, seeking the solstice
the night of longest night, when the shadows cover the earth
and practicioners of bygone rites turn their gazes to the horizon
seeking the return of the light.

here, within this ring of worn stones, the words upon them faint
from windblown sand and monsoon rains,
here we will sing to the gods of our people, to seek them out in hope
that not all is lost to time.

each body a beacon of beauty, of love, of faith
swathed in white linen for purity, for devotion, the radiance of woman
each woman a follower of her own religion.

moonrise of the longest night
the solstice comes upon us all, and we are ready with voices strong and proud
singing to those come before us, singing to those who shall follow.

we sing because we must, because without us the ways will die
we sing because our sisters need to hear our voices ringing
without our faith, our light, our love, the world will suffer
for those ways of the ancestors will be lost without us

all night we shall sing, revelry and devoted fervor carrying through the desert
lifted voices, laughter and tears echoing upon the winds
beneath the shade of the great sphinx we shall dance and sing
until the first faint rays of the returning sun reveal his majestic mein

with the return of the sun all know, all feel
we did not let them die, we have reclaimed the rites of old
the knowledge of times past lives on because we women traveled here

with the first warm rays that touch our flesh we lift our hands
in supplication to those whose names we have uttered in the uncertainty of the night
giving thanks to the many, the ones, the all

in thanks we turn to one another in heartfelt embrace
sisters and mothers, friends, even lovers both in sprit and in flesh
we will return now, making our passage across these great sands
each step completing the unbroken circle

beneath a luminous moon
gleaming bright against the khol-black sky
she stands

palms raised in supplication
words of a tongue long lost to mankind
a tribute to gods thought forgotten
spilling from her lips

the sands shift beneath the feet of followers
in the lee of the spinx
contemplating his riddle

moonrise brings a chorus of voices
each one a priestess in white linen
marked with the eye
a tattoo of devotion upon ovlive skin

somewhere in the course of time
these things were lost
we bring them back in our memories

Time:5:52 pm.
The days slowly fade to nothing
all is washed away by the rains
leaving behind a cold feeling
only to consume what remains

The sun is now a distant dream
no warmth is there to be found here
emptiness flows like an open stream
as the very last breath draws near...

Subject:her life is Death
Posted by:living_words.
Time:8:57 am.
golden eyes lined with khol
nails tap against the glass
expectant
waiting for him to arrive

staggering through a stagnant stream
a cloud of gnats rises
a canopy above his head

she is lucky, she thinks
swathed in rich silks
every inch of it a flourish
bespeaking her honored place

serendipity, they said
when she fell upon
the necromancer's scythe

now she is his for eternity
waiting for him to arrive
to bring her the spoils
of his deadly obsession

cryptic

i've memorized your scars.
i drum my fingers against the freckles--
angel kisses--
of your bare shoulders.
i want to whisper you your dreams
kiss your eyelashes when they flutter
nuzzle my cold nose against your cheek
delve in your warmth.

i've learned the curves and fractals of your eyes.
honey and sadness and golden with green
new stories every time you look at me
every time you blink
time you wake
you smile.
love.

when the grass grows
sad and tall in the cemetery
we will abandon your car
go for walks for faeries again
sit behind the mausoleum waiting for memories
of nuns and old feelings of emptiness.
we will be slender flowers and we will disappear.

slipping into the future
you and i will be gone forever.

Love, Luck, and Irony:The Story of My Life

The light came through the window,
and traveled through the air.
It seemed to pause for just a while,
then reflected off her hair.

The air was calm and peaceful,
and brought her glow to me.
Her lips drifted upward,
soft and radiantly.

Her smile formed and showed her cheer,
while she looked into my eyes.
Their direct and oh so determined look
showed me how hard she tries,

and in the center of those eyes,
there sat a little gleam.
I was transfixed by their transparency,
it was almost like a dream.

When she spoke, her voice so sweet,
like honey to my ears,
I fell in love right there and then.
She cast away my fears.

She leaned in, to speak to me
while looking all around,
and in her soft and lovely voice,
she said my fly was down.

Oh it's
Just a little ditty
A ditty for you and me
On our little journey
To the other tree
We were singing
We were swinging
In the middle we were hitting
each other on the conk as we both fell out the treeeeeeeeeee
Oh it's
Just a little ditty
A ditty for you and me
On our little journey
Falling out the tree

Romantic Pursuit

I look upon your beauteous face,
Watch you comb your silken hair.
Enraptured by your easy grace,
And your skin so soft and fair.
But as I gaze upon you still,
My heart and arms are hurtin'
Cuz I'm hanging from your window sill
And peeping through your curtain

Coming to Grips

Oh, hello my dear
So nice of you
To visit me here.
They really try
To make me
Happy with their
Group therapy
And basket weaving classes
And anger management courses
And pastel colors
And soft food
And "Love thy neighbor"
And ankle restraints
And shock therapy
And television mind control rays
And Regis Philbin
And why are sitting so close?
Back DAMN YOU!
BACK! BACK, I SAY!
NURSE? NURSE?!?
HELP ME! HELP ME!
THE ALIENS ARE HERE
TO SUCK MY BRAINS
OUT MY NOSTRILS
AGAIN!
Oh, hello my dear
So nice of you
To visit me here.

Subject:Will you not be mine?
Posted by:dream_reality.
Time:6:36 pm.
This distance, no longer can I bear
each breath calling your name
a past that has no place in this future
memories lost in the sands of time
emotions trapped inside a glass cage

how many tears must I shed?
what price must I pay to have you?

my life, you already hold
my heart and soul, for you to claim
no peace can I find without you
no purpose is there to this empty life
my existence a mere shadow

why am I without you?
why is the light slowly fading?

scattered are my dreams of past
broken pieces that cannot be rejoined
I have given to you all that I am
my endless love laid at your path
I am yours to do with as you wish

do you not feel my heart?
do you not see my love?

The words that I long to hear
you do not whisper into my ear
yet my heart lingers at your mercy
the touch that I yearn, will never be
yet a glimmer of hope still lives within

will you not come to me?
will you not be mine?

Mood: sleepy.
Music:so weak and powerless over you.
new. here's my response to the word challenge.



at night when you laid your head down to sleep
you were bound to dreams of a perfect half
never imagining those dreams might come true
never imagining a reality in hair spun of gold
never imagining perfect eyes burning blue

your snow white beauty out of her glass coffin
with full apple red lips waiting to be kissed--
your head became your safe haven
and that's when you stopped listening
to the chaos outside your room

does it shock you that your fantasies have become memories
tossed and tangled among the things we've actually done
until they are hardly shards of a shattered glass slipper?
does it ever surprise you that i seem to have the power
to offer you redemption from the life you used to hate to live?

Here’s to the Future

Looking through the eyes of glass -
toward the future, not the past.
Ironic eyes look past the past,
yet settle on the past at last.

Memories seen by the glassen eye
see your power burning bright
Deep into the collied night
yet a shimmer of gold lies still in sight.

Now I must look past the past
or see redemption sliding past.
My haven, my overwhelming wrath
bound to chaos, my chosen path.

My shattered eye has cut me here
and left a scratch from ear to ear.
Blood trickles down, a salty clear
reminding of a past no longer near.

A past that seems so far from here.

In this night I feel
New power building
Light burning brighter
Than the gold inside the flame
There is no haven for me
No redemption for my sins
As I fall into the chaos
Bound to fate's whim
As my eyes become glass
My memories become lost
To the endless noise of hell
The place I will call home.

Time:9:18 pm.
Memories fade away slowly
into this dark night unknown
my emotions erratic, creating chaos
threatening my fragile glass cage
where a flame is burning to this day
giving life to a deeper power within
bound to me through heart and soul
the bright colours of the rainbow
lead to the pot of gold I once looked upon
the search ends, I find my haven
a moment now here to touch and feel
redemption, my ultimate purpose.
