~ Hiya me lovelies ...


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

*She spills her colors
In shades of crimson hues
as her pen quivers upon
the pages in anticipation
of the ache of longing
that begins to unravel
at her very core
in hushed hours of midnight
when velvet whispers
leaves a trace of braile
etched upon her soul


*with ink from the soul*

(great stuff, Tammy girl...so lovely to see you here, hon)





into the long humid hours
of night, she sat
in candle-lit vigil
for the keeper of her heart,
knowing her voice would
bring him home, soon...
he loved how it would bleed, you know,
freely, honestly,
and how it would pulse
in a genuine rhythm
to his thirsty sepia pages...
every syllable would fall
so perfectly from her tongue
until they lay naked before the moon
bathing in pools, filled
with ink from the soul...
yes, there in the blackberry of night
she sat, smiling, knowing
her voice
would bring him home
soon...

The soft velvet of her dreams
envisioning the passion
that would erupt from within
as he fills her thoughts
into the wanton
blueberry of night
She reaches longlingly
to stroke the fires
that now erupt in the
lava flow of her core
where she falls
into the abyss of passion



*Seeping jewels of lust*

Lay long, the still,
of darkness breathing,
in whispered night
of umbra, seething

then came the mists
of sable, seeping,
jewels of lust
, now
softly weeping

and willow, slept
through tender shaking,
in midnight breeze
of slumbers making

as mistress moon,
poured mother's milk,
we, crawled inside
nights skin of silk







~ of umbra, seething

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

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

He begs the night sky
in tantric dreams
hollowed into vacuums
sliding into netherlands
of infinite parades
dish darter stars
explode in revelations

on the compass face of fate
alone, *I keep the moon company

within the moon's cry
and,your oasis fills me

again brand new

I can feel your lips brush mine
in quiet tangerine kiss

as stardust paints the dawn again,
brand new
,
and the first words
of the early bright,
fall as fire
from golden tongues,
the smiling sky wraps two as one,
as they love, cocooned
in the first light,
exploding into day
with Chopin fingers, dancing,
their language falling
aqueous
to morning skin

They are the blessed song
welcoming the new day
in sacred voice

I love it
when he speaks indigo to me
in all his wanton tones,

how his whispers
feel so hot
to my Scorpio skin

as words fall soft
from his pulsing tongue
in hushed violet hues
to inner thigh

and I am taken,
swallowed whole
by the night

split with rays of sun
reflecting palettes of blue
as tilted heads bend for a view
in the space between raindrops
the world seems softer filled with grace


as summer suns paint thy face

I walked towards light
ten thousand years
to find myself
in sun dropped tears

in dreams I held her
in strong arms
and left her there
as I moved on

but O how darkness
shines the light
if one shall walk enougj
to touch the breath of night

for channeled is the light devine
when love brings sight to the blind
redressed in grand array

a rainbow's born this very day

as summer suns
paint thy face

in the soft archaic
breath of poetry
I shall comfort thee,
for there be no warmer
garment, worn,
nor finer adornment,
than that which spills freely
from this silvern quill
to thine aching
parchment...
'tis the voice
of this poets soul
coveting thine own,
in friendship...

the chill of mist
gently wraps the bare feet
of innocence, as
each footfall, begs
for another, and yet another,
until she is moving
with purpose again,
dancing, spinning, palms upturned
to the weeping October sky,
and velvet dress twirling
in the umber glow
of home...
and it is there
in the warmth of nature's poetry
that a rainbow's born
this very day

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

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.

I inhale the night
with passion
delighting
in its whispering garment
as it sears itself
to my chambers

as ever in moonlight
I am bathed
in my own wickedness
thoughts of him
drifting featherlight
across my silhouette

the passing clouds speak
of my yearning
in sultry tones
that burst and spill my secrets
to soak me where I lay

painting the landscape
and all that I hold
to the Autumn moon,
insatiable...





~ in its whispering garment

Winter dreams are blanketed
in its whispering garment
of feathered grace layered
in heavy transient lace
lost on the 'berg of white-blue shiver

and I, in retrospect, stay warmed
where firelight embers
puddle a frosted breast

I love the morning view,
Sunlight playing with my eyes,
As amber curves seduce,
In heavy transient lace,
And love becomes real,
Not a mere lust,
Soul blending supreme,
I sigh as the lace slips,
To reveal the softer you,
The you I adore,
Come spread the light upon me.


Tag...Not a mere lust.

it is not a mere lust
that strikes the night sky
right between the stars
just to watch the moon weep,
not merely an attraction
to charge the winds to dance,
the rain to soak the skin,
for our spirit to truly soar,
but to feel the true connection
to that which lays our path
be it ever rough or smooth
the journey will lead us on

my constellation is a note
that scribbles my stars
with a confession of truth,
as it strikes the night sky
in meteoric revelation
my moon rattles and hums
with a lachrymose echo
that sings a lullaby
to the fading twilight.

Tell me a story
Mother Moon,
of how the Willow giggled
as the brook babbled through
her long lived limbs

and how she would laugh
at wildflowers, dancing...
as Nature put on her
spring dress
and how the winds stopped
for a day
just to see her stand
silent...
it was a curious day,
a blessed day,
and in the lachrymose echo
of that silence
she began to weep

for they had gifted her
a new name

eye in the sky
why do you whimper
have you lost
your ~piece of sun~
stir the tides
so we can feel
the movement of water
upon our feet and remember
that warmth doesn't always
come from flames
long are the nights
where you wrangle with
the corks of messages
in a bottle, so many
corks sealing little rivers
sit with me and tell of
stories from the days
of starlight and fires
by the lake, we will laugh
seeds, we can cry music
and i will embrace your
reflection

cold, dank intentions,
run the length of dull, echoing halls
whilst candles, long since snuffed,
sit atop stone mantels, unable to dance

In the house of hollow words
where plastic, is mistaken for love,
the walls crumble in their straining
against hidden agendas

and I, join fellow builders of thrones, who
grow tired of sleep, and open their eyes
and when the oaken doors open,
we walk
out, into the sun

It took me forever to find this section of the site (I'm a little slow :) ) Anyway, I hope I'm posting this right. Last thing I read was "atop stone mantels" If I'm doing it wrong, slap me in the back of the head...

half-empty urns
rest
[i]atop stone mantels.[/i]

half-empty souls
dust
around them - carefully,
as if dust in a jar is sacred,
dust on a mantel - sacrilegious.

dust is dust,
regardless of where it rests.

of grandeur, and
self importance

it was Friday,
3 days past due date
and through the dull murmur
of nameless faces
and the muted rustle
of turning pages
you could hear a pin drop
as she returned
the atlas

of time
and money
she had become slave,
her music, the hustle and bustle
of a crazed city, became
her thief of sleep
with its ever deafening voice
carving midnight skin

so often she would travel
~ when her eyes would finally close ~
away from all the crazy
to the green man of whispering leaves,
he touched her heart in soft breezes,
became the paradise of sanity
and the keeper of dreams...

you just can't find that
in a book

over the top of her spectacles,
Mrs Bickerstaff peeked, raising one eyebrow
as she watched me try to take note
knowing I hadn't listened to a word she'd said

that is pretty much how it went, during her class,
actually pretty much that's how it went, during every class.
Always the dreamer...I was. Always invisible...I thought.
I remember the day I found out how wrong I was

walking to the entrance of our local Mall, 5 years later
I saw Mrs Bickerstaff coming towards me
she looked like she wanted to burst out of her skin,
her beautiful beaming grin, made me smile, then made me nervous
as she threw her arms around me, and held me tight..

Mrs Bickerstaff had heard that I was killed in a car accident
her joy at finding out it wasn't true could not be hidden,
and for a moment (now frozen in time) I felt like 'somebody'


Next: during every class

struggled to keep her head up
during every class
and when she did, she would
turn it to the left
pause
to gaze out a window
that blurred and focused
on worlds outside the pages
of a history book

Seems I lost lines
long before I lost my virginity.
Since then,

I wish I knew
what to say
to the one
who's heard it all before
and sits there waiting
for my tongue to knot

and silence swallows me



Next: silence swallows me

silence swallows me
as birds sing an
affectation to my bent
and penchant for diving



Next: one cloud's liberation
