Premium Member The Holy Dust of Creation's Seed Sown

The Holy Dust of Creation’s Seed Sown

Born from this ancient dust of creation's seed sown now so true,
Whilst sparkling inside a mystical divine light on this dark night,
I’m nourished from the living waters—the oceans deep and blue. 

Majestic wings rise high in the waves basking in Heaven’s light,
Crowning the blest halo golden ring around this angel very dear,
Whilst I kiss warmly the salt of the deep oceans stirring at night. 

Spiced now in a seabed, a rainbow’s gem shineth pure so clear,
That a traveler in this radiant world of delight knows real love
Is what we all seek as sparkling diamonds now appear so near. 

Where the rivers flow down a mountain’s verdant slope because
There, in the highs and lows of these rivers, tears soak the Earth,
Falling and rising from the dust, ashes are memories of what was.

I have abounding faith in this life’s bond as Nature begins her rebirth,
Eclipsed by a peerless beauty inside, wild passions grown now strong.
A liquid sphere appears in our mortal lives reaching its point of girth.

In the cerulean oceans mystic gulls cry deep echoes bringing us along.
We find peace kneeling as a psychic mantel covers our thoughts pure,
As that special circle of brilliance radiates within life’s treat so strong.

By God’s hand the ancient dust of creation’s seed is with us to assure,
Mankind’s perpetuity on Earth as part of His most holy divine vision.
Only God knows mankind’s destiny rests in His divine hands for sure.

The ancient dust of creation’s seed is part of God’s omnipotent precision,
For He’s the one who shall guide us all heavenward by His final decision.

Premium Member On Blood's Own Sand

Courage held In heart of Lion 
Celtic memory of ancient reunion 
In arena of Death's bloody passion 
Lion's fight for life the prize 
Swords held high salute the Caesar 
Two giants hold their swords down low 
Back to back now Celtic Lions 
The Caesar drops his mighty hand 

As pipes they began churning tunes 
lamenting sadness sails across oceans 
eternal darkness envelopes grief 
in victory a crowd roars kill 
within lust rising a mob salute 

Thoughts fall back to ancient homeland 
Mighty Arrach sacred mound 
Sun In golden light descending 
Emerald green this sacred land 
Professions of Love given 
Warrior queen does take my hand 
Peace and Love once In a Celtic land 

From hibernia out of a mist 
one lonely teddy bear at sea 
dressed in her green attire 
sparkling shades her jewels 
caressing rocks at her feet 
shores washed by the great atlantic 
kissing white foam spray 

Mighty mountains stand together 
Weapons crashing thunders song 
As enemies strong advancing to destroy a Celtic song 
Yet heart sings eternal memory 
Ancient pride Celts viper sting 
Blood rising crowd passion 
Cheering death In passions' thrall 
Celts In storm of fight 
Ancient memories golden passion comes 
In Pride and honour 

we are a fighting race of warriors 
groomed in our mothers songs of freedom 
sail a world over wild geese 
defending with pride in great honor 
strong our calling haunting deep waves 
we are the children of a nation who cry 
mourning in the spirit drunken sings out 
in prayer kneeling down welcoming freedom 
red flowing a river soaks battles soil 
another fight one bites the dust

"Love Shared Within Heaven's Delight."
A Collaboration By,
Carolyn Devonshire.
&
Michael .P. Clarke.

Love shared within Heaven's delight,
you are my love's most wondrous sight,
a heart filled with cheer.
Now love is your eternal light,
come take my hand and we take flight,
we shall never fear.
 
How lonely life seemed till you came!
Men in my past played a fool’s game,
destroying hope for love.
You’re special, I don’t think you know
the countless blessings you bestow
or joy that comes thereof.

With you, by me, I am a king,
your love is worth everything,
I share love with you.
Together in our love, we sing,
our passions we shall ever bring,
love is ever true.
 
You elevate me; I’m your queen.
Wash away past mistakes, I’m clean,
crowned-by-bliss royalty.
On your strong shoulders I may lean
as a delicate figurine.
Let me prove loyalty.

Desire does sing deep in the heart,
you and I, we shall never part,
lost in Sapphire blue.
 
Can it be passions endure,
arising from a heart so pure?
How blessed is this gift!

Where We Belong - a Collaboration - Part -2

An infinity of night for us to burn in our love.
You, my love, a beauty within a silver spotlight.
I shall drown in your beautiful eyes forever,
never to leave the reflection of all my desires,
the queen of all my immortal passions.
The countless stars are witness to the love we share,
My raven-haired beauty you have always been mine
as I have always been yours.
My marble angel, stay within my arms,
soul to soul, our love will sing my lady of night.....

..... as the night slowly starts to fade
and moon hides her face for the day
we stand at this dawn, two shadows...
Cast in the silver shadows of this dying night,
with only the wind as our music,
we dance again, a final time,
into the cosmic waves of love...
Silence beckons with a slow pace,
a last requiem sounding an echo
as we embrace once more,
before we take to casted marble sepulchres...
Cold the slates upon grey skin
and damp the air filled, 
with a million years of tears and longing...

.....Behold, my beloved! For again we shall dance
to the violins of night, of love,
as we awaken to the call of each other,
as soon as night will fall...
Yet in my dreams of day, you are with me,
the most beautiful sight within my mind,
held closely, an image of life's beauty.
Yes, cometh the moment and we sing,
we sing into the last of night's embrace,
We kiss and our fire burns for the last time this night.
I lose myself in your marble glory,
I wish not for the rest, yet I wish not for the sun.
The night's glory must end by God's decree.
Hand in hand we walk to our marble sepulchres,
our dance and song they shall ever be,
tomorrow night my love, once more we shall be,
Love shall be ours my lady of the night.....

The rumble of cold marble slate
as sepulchres are drawn shut,
Cuts like a sword into my soul
and leaves me like ice... so cold
This coffin as we slumber 
awaiting yet another night...
Oh! How painful is this longing
to walk again with you, and dance
Once more, Sire, to our songs of darkest love.

Duck Eggs
Granville Wesley Clarke

May 14, 1921, ====July 19, 2011

The late Cracker or Perry

A golden heart stop beating at sunset July 19, 2011



Today my memory is a large duck egg

Yes, that large duck egg, you got from the  

Chicken coop, so that I could have it for breakfast”

If you haven’t tried ducks, eggs
it's time to become a tester.


There will be no funeral today,

Only memories of the people we love

I remember the tall trees, in which you

Climbed in order to cut the branches that block the view

And the wind that cool our roof top  



I remember our morning strolled in big gully

In which we would go and pick green lemons

I with my small paint bucket, you with your big brown onion bag

with our findings you would fill it to the top,

My small paint bucket I also filled it up to the top:

With my doo rag tied so tight around my head I sweat bullets

my brother old pants protected my skinny legs from the bugs

There we were strolling through the woods  



Almonds, I sucked the juices, and hammer the nuts with a rock

As you cut down trees, to finish your pig pen,

There will no funeral today, or weeping

Just good old memories, about the dead

Rest in peace, with the angels,

Until we meet again,

Premium Member Deep Soft Trickles

Softly touching deep cords vibrate within,
The song within my heart with golden notes begin.

As sadness flows trickling In Cello magic,
Soul's storm It Is flowing In Violin tragic.

Like a river babbling wild free,
The heart has no bounds where Love has to be.

Sweet dancing upon ripples of air,
A waltz In the clouds with dream's lady so fair.

Flowing Into an open ocean's waves,
Upon your golden heart your dream Love engraves.

Singing echoes haunting our world,
Dream's memories before us unfurled.

Rising salted emotions suffering powerless,
Sadness grows and the heart loses Its prowess.

Bated breaths shawled deep held Inside tears,
Cold Ice cube memories brittle Icing fears.

Floating breeze fluttering gently,
Touching desires In Love's flame diligently.

Touching each string cries out,
What tunes shall these strings shout.

A songbirds lament,
In grief It Is sent.

A piano speaks so softly,
As Its keys play music loftily.

Telling one story In tune,
That shall ever be told before moon.

How sweet your beautiful words sung deeply,
How they did touch my tender heart completely.

Premium Member Dawning Snow

Clinging unto hope
shining ever virgin white
There shines a beacon
sky alive with virgin snow
Feeling its abandonment

The skies dawn now grey
tiny diamonds do fall
A swan breaks water
the stillness it now is gone
truth behind crystal liquid

Within reflection
virgin snow is now falling
Spilling out snowflakes
Diamonds fall heaven's grace
Snowflakes little drops of Faith

Softly they do fall
On earth they crunch beneath feet
Frozen diamonds
Rainbow's colours shining bright
They shine with heaven's own light

Dreams of love do shine
Kisses fall like drops of snow
Love is virgin white
Covers heart with warmest glow
Love unlike snow never fades

Premium Member Perfect Diamond

On the night of a cold moon's glare
golden ring around frozen particles kiss
your beam over and back carries one torch

Desires delight dances in kaleidoscopic diamonds
warm once more my heart with treasured warmth
in dreams of jewelled passion we drink from star's cup

Faraway wonder of this universe
circle of never ending hope dancing life's shadow
starry eyed reflections over sea's touch

Oh truth of truth your radiance comes once again
within an eclipse of desire we dance in Heaven
dreaming within your peaceful stars of glory that shine
