] Date Posted: 18:16:47 10/06/07 Sat I thought I'd start a little poetry tag. It's great fun, and I hope you'll all join in :) The idea is to spark the muse to dance upon the page, by writing a wee poem using the words or line left for you by the previous poet/poetess. It's a great exercise, expecially for when you're feeling a little abandoned by your muse (I know it well..lol) so, I'll get this game rolling... by writing a little improv poem in here, and I'll leave a little something (below my poem), for the next person to use in their piece I long to hear her joyous laughter ~ hear her sing, and swing from ink ribbons of flame knowing her joy will set my inner pages alight... it is there, that I love her the most, in all her wanton ways, the way she spills her colors to my ever thirsty parchment... but for the better part of my days, she's a stranger to me now, though my longing never wanes, yet there in the half-light of my melancholy kiss I can still feel her whisper close, with fevered intent and my pen begins to ache once more ~ she spills her colors [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 05:48:29 10/08/07 Mon Barely audible Barely breathing In shades of umbra, Seething Where a gallimaufry Of emotions stirred Traipsing within Certainty that blurred We lay in the tenderness Of opaque recollections Awaiting the dawn Cogitating reflections That now stirs our souls Beneath waning moon And sifting through stars Where lovers swoon In soft sequined moments Those that bead the bodice Yoking our braided souls embraced by the moon's solace *nocturnal Sierra mist [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Stoke the fires of memory, love, and I am ever touched by the tender shade of night you called me, then, your nocturnal, Sierra mist rolls in and I am ever hushed in the valley of the weeping moon, I beg for forgiveness, that I did not seek the summerlands, to be with you, and now, I am left here keeping the moon company as she bows low to kiss the ever haunting landscape of my loneliness ~ keeping the moon company .

Date Posted: 20:59:55 10/10/07 Wed . I had felt, in my heart, What I chose to deny, Pains, caused by stupid anguish, Selfish thoughts of loss, As fingertips alone, Could not hold the bond of souls, I looked out into the new world, Clung to the edge of my reasoning, Unable to admit, That I was crying, To the weeping October sky, Why do I feel so fragile? Why do I feel so scared? Is this thing with no name, All I ever craved, If I let go will I sear with pain? Only time will answer me, For now, I must cherish the gems, That I hold to the Autumn moon, Allowing them to flourish, Without my pitiful ways, For without their beauty, My moon will cease to shine, © Paul Osborne 2007 "That I hold to the Autumn moon," .

Date Posted: 14:07:34 10/22/07 Mon Within the sacred hollows of night, Where messages fly invisible, As if the moon had delivered them By hand, Then I await a reply, Heart racing, I allow the answer access to my soul, Filling slowly with it’s intent, She smiles in pixels and code, Seconds away, yet beyond the eye, She too lays in hallowed textures, Our words whispered with thumbs, Heard with eyes, No finer blend of souls exist, Coveted and pure of life’s acrimony , Love falls in it’s whispering garment, Draping our bodies as one, Urgency and solitude combine, In phrases sweet to the taste, To be devoured whole, Until the submission of ache, Falls to the night, Tag - Yet beyond the eye.
