Suspended In A Sunbeam


Quote by: Melancholy Of Innocence 
LOVE is the spark within the speck illuminated & suspended in a sunbeam. 

A ray of sunbeam falls across her face as she plays piano 
a warm sunlight caresses the keys and brings to life 
memories of love that bloom like noon day sun 

Suspended in time like a soft sonata lingering on the mind 
sensual, sexy, like a silk chemise wafting in the wind  
yesterday's story sits unsung, arias captured OH!  my heart

Here in her forever she sings softly to no one in particular  
habile as the sentinel that perches and then soars 
the illumined face of an Angel, a speck a spark of LOVE 

that no amount of silence can clothe....

Hunger Fulfilled

Mahi's husband was hungry
Hungry in his longing
One day to be able to stay at an Ashram
His aptitude for yoga was insurmountable

Money was not plentiful and savings were low
The journey would be expensive
Mahi was a brilliant crafter
Being habile made her weaving exceptional.

So she spent all her spare time
Weaving and exchanging her wares
Came the day when she called ..." Ayush"
Giving him the monies she had saved

The journey was made
Ayush's hunger fulfilled
Home was once more a place of happiness.

Premium Member Forks

A few lines about forks upon the table
Fondue's pronged fork for fingers habile 
A taste of life's flavored torgues
Babes brought by the stork
Tough, old meat
Forks
Fork for cake
Tines just for wine corks
Roads that fork and life uncorks
In the end only two tines are stable
A few lines about forks upon the table

Think about Robert Frost's Poem "The Road Not Taken"..
Think about playing on words a fork in a road..
Think about putting all your cards on the table..


Premium Member Writer's Block- What Then

LACTATING words from the Breast of my Brain.
                          Not inextricably attached; Plethora of Pain.

                        Battles erupting; my Tongue and Invisible Ink.
                                Mind criminated; Unable to Think.

                       Meticulous Attention not given to my Habile Pen.
                     Tongue not Cognizant; Lost of Words; What THEN?
