She had a kittenish personality; always ready to play.
Her sense of whimsy and hunky-dory attitude was contagious.
Her laugh would have brought happiness to the Netherworld.
He was smitten from the second they met. Wanted more.
Unfortunately, she was already taken and committed.
This did not mean he stopped noticing her.
She elucidated a room, illuminating it with joy.

Hope is a torch that brightens the dark
A match that lightens the heart.
Hope is a gentle touch that many a human doth lack
A loving kiss;Sensual caress; Helpful remark.
Hope is a faith that a journey must end
Like a tsunami against the sea.
Hope is the stitches to a soul thus rend
In war,a feeling of peace.
Hope is the tree that grows in hostile dirt
A fiery wildfire.
Hope is a fierce flower flaming red
A scorched soul; A burning desire.
Hope is the will to be in the field of be or not to be.
The faith to end up living life in your dream.

There was once a spark in Heaven's sky
generating an electric storm painted an angel
it coloured a rainbow within the sky mystery of the east
a bridge where the eyes walked on filled with warmth
The breath of a thousand winds held silent surrender
so clear was the promise made Unto God Himself
it begged for Mercy thanking Him for such a gift
I found a love so great it worshipped with salted drops
forming the most precious pearl inside a shell
it burned like acid devoured with the pain of not knowing why you deserted the truth
Deeply engraved there stands words spun by the man
an oath once taken can never be broken welded to his nature
never really knowing the future had became mapped in a journey
it went into darkness calling your name over and over again
in the Light of forgiveness I thank you with all my heart
we all hold out for Hope in finding Paradise one day within a storm

Evening about you reminds me of the Sun
You are light and diaphenous warm and sultry
Like a thousand summer solstice or alchemists spells
You are as bright as Venus the morning star
I would like to bathe in your sunny afternoon's

illuminated elevator
rainbow deflator
raindrops
smoking
piano keys
flutes been blown through me
what pauper never seen a dream
lesson drawn by shallow stream
sinking sinking sunk in themes
flesh drawn mind blown ink
systems faliure blinks
rating perfection
hygiene lesson
dirty minds
go
blind
feel room elated
spell a mind raider
illuminated elevator

This evening
I was humbled
by Welsh born artist,
Donald Jackson--
His profound dedication
and personal sacrifice
are truly beyond
my poetic
expression--
new insight and beauty
(such vision absent for
many generations)--
spiritual beauty
procured deep within
our cloistered archives,
written on
the sacred vellum
of human consciousness
and soul--
I was reminded so
of William Blake--
of course Donald is
his own man:
with a particular flare
of artistic genius
self indigenous--
for here,
like no other
(God inspired!)
painstakingly
peeled away
with instrument,
hands guided by
pure light
are flesh-veils
till the realization
as one's heart
leaps with joy
when seeing
seeming miraculously
for the first time,
The Illumined
Body of Christ!

I've crawled to the edge of my own darkness,
and I only wanted a small taste I swear;
And I heard the prophets of the ages screaming,
There's just no coming back from there;
But they were my own unexplained poor choices,
to gaze into the chasm far beyond;
For I had to be illuminated in blackness,
Long before my light could ever shine on.
I danced daily with my own demons,
until the harvest moonlight died;
And I saw the Angels turn their backs on me,
Yes, I swear I heard them cry;
But I think they knew deep down inside,
That I would be back before too long;
They knew I had to be illuminated in blackness,
Long before my light could ever shine on.
There's that little part in every good soul,
that wanders where he should not go;
And a very patient loving God,
just smiles and lets us go;
Until we come crawling back into the light,
And realize it's where we always belonged;
But we must be illuminated in the blackness,
Before our light will ever shine on.

Blanketed in darkness
Hatred is your shield
Hurting one another losing all free will
Listening to the voices that lead you all astray
Your eyes are shut in darkness no brightness in the day
Money is the prize for selling out your soul
Fame is your new wife that holds you when your cold
Now you're just a puppet, spreading out lies
Watching as all goodness slowly starts to die
Those who see the truth will never lose there sight
Enlightened with the true one we'll continue on the fight

Illusion illuminated instantly
Reality realized… rationally
Nature noticed normally
Vision vitalized vibrantly
Life lived… laudably

Farm in view with a field full of cows
Golden mist of grass on the ground
Afternoon light.Colors change +glow
Just for a few minutes then darkness
The night was silent.Courtiers enjoin
Banquet hall lit bright with candlelight
Soft glow shines through the fretwork
Rich golden liquid Midsummer revelry
Ruby ripe pomegranate and rose petals
Beautifully carved gold goddess statue
Hair decorated with flowers and ribbons
Minstrels play dance melody in the gallery
Develish dancer natural grace delicate face
Click of metal heels on the parquetry floor
Sequinned dress spun centre of dance floor
Nursing pretty delicate wide glassed cocktail
Sweet scented oils delicate fragrance at door
Warm play of breeze on pearled slender neck
Posies white moonflowers catch her breath
Strawberries fermented honey scent of jasmine
Wreath of flowers whole grove of long willows
Long leafed tendrils flowing gently in the wind
Tiny pink roses lavender and hemmed lovage
Night air smells of wood smoke + blossoms

I feel a cold wind when I'm awake
But can't sleep because of all the heartache
And pain I've caused knowing it's not right
But still I continue and continue to fight
Searching for someone who will turn on the light
Screaming for help knowing no one is there
Cherishing the trust and the love I once shared
For anyone living and giving me the chance to shine
Seeing all but still feeling blind
Because of the darkness in my mind
Through this tunnel of darkness I see
A blurred picture of prosperity
Even though I barley see me
I clearly see the surrounding
And yet the meaning of this picture has not come to me
But if I could just step outside my comfort zone
Knowing that I can't do this alone
So I get the Man upstairs on the phone
Praying and hoping that He's home
He picks up and I cry
Lord oh God please hear my prayer
I already promised to let you come downstairs
I said you come inside and my body we'll share
Hello....God are you still there?
Illuminate my darkness so your light can shine
Take over my body my soul and my mind
I'm yours Lord
And I'm for real this time
