Now, Comes the Wind

Now comes the wind,
   stealth like creeper whispering
   venting in the shadowy image of the trees.
A calm soft breeze easing in at first,
   a sojourner on the bland gray skies,
   dim lit end of winter's call, marching winds.
Rising high up in the atmosphere
   dropping down as if a bird of prey
   eyeing some tantalizing delights.
Breathless mistral bora chilling the air
   swooping in unsuspected xlook
   tantalizing the coastal seas to rise;
Breathe, taking in a sirocco
   as it slips and slides north and east
   riding zephyr upon the ocean currents.
To land across the distant horizon
   snaking, weaving, twisting along the foamy waves
   to touch the earth, twirl it up, down prairie mountain forests.
Now comes the wind
   unseen figure spread wide and thin
    catabatic current fleetings, scouring the earth.

Untamed Heart

This is a collaboration with Susan Ashley, excerpts taken from her Amberina Ballerina poem. One of the best writes I've ever read, check it out! 

Thanks Susan for your awesome work,  I loved this and have high hopes for this song!

UNTAMED HEART

My untamed heart, 
ruled by unruly wants
Sometimes in tatters, 
but flatters and taunts

I played at life...
but life played me harder,
Lived bet to debt...
in life's Russian roulette

Chorus
I'm like a ghost ship, 
stranded on breakers
searching for life, without any light
I rummage through...
my Psyches ruins
Dreams duel disasters, 
but give up the fight

I place a wager...
speed into danger
My foolish whims, 
scatter in mistral winds

Now tossed by waves, 
by blind forces of fate
How they orchestrate, 
time, distance and place

Bridge
Now all that's left...
lies fallow,
in fields of regret
Hopes of a new day... 
are shattered
by a doomed sunset


Chorus
I'm like a ghost ship, 
stranded on breakers
searching for life, without any light
I rummage through...
my Psyches ruins
Dreams duel disasters, 
but give up the fight

Outro
Dreams duel disasters, 
but give up the fight
Dreams duel disasters, 
but give up the fight

repeat and fade

How can i refuse
When I'm crazy on you
I have no other love
I tell it like it's true
 
When I'm alone
These dreams i have for you
You keep my love alive
Save my heart from turning blue
 
My tall dark handsome stranger
My magic man
Will you be there in the morning
Take you back to Avalon
 
On the mistral wind
This little queen and you
I'll be your bright light girl
Who loves you through and through
 
To dream of the archer
Private audition, i will give
This man is mine
Who'll make my heart relive
 
All i wanna do is make love to you
It's the desire of the woman in me
No longer strangers of the heart
These dreams, make me

Premium Member In An Enchanted Forest

Groggy, I lay my unsteady head down. 
My soul coiled from turmoil, soon forgotten. 
To a whirling tunnel I fall, fall, fall; 
a sleep that knits a cradle of cotton.

Amid an enchanted forest, yielding
 old timber with faces, and creeping plants.
Where wildlife talk and rainbow fairies dance 
all frozen in time by mistral wind chants.

I'm jealous of the nights. Oh, so alone
wanting to spend it with someone I love
swept away in the darkness tenderly
loving me even with the light above.

I turn to sound of shuffling leaves. The door 
irised open and tendrils of blue smoke 
bands of warm magic made my skin tingle. 
The Prince of my dreams came through, then I woke.

Premium Member A Splendid Spring Fall Day

Ah, the air - so sweet!
Early Spring essences ...
Pine cones, lilacs and cherry blossoms,
With a wispy and not unpleasant hint of wood smoke,

A waft of campfires being carried up the valley,
Mixing with a light moisture from Bridal Veil Falls ...
On such a magnificent day!
Not much wind, per se,

But a gentle breeze nonetheless,
Created by the natural cone of the valley ...
A warm mistral sent north to mix with cooler air.
Gloriously clear and deep sky ...

No timid hues on such a morn,
But rather a deep Nanking Blue,
Making a statement to the sun,
(Still emerging from behind an evergreen horizon),

That it shall not take advantage on such a day!
This was a free-climb unlike any other -
The Salathe of El Capitan ...
A dream come true, and one to cherish, aye!

And now, finally, a positive legacy to leave my children!
Oh, it makes no matter that I didn't finish -
(That a piton lost its stead purchase of the rock),
It is the process that truly counts -

The courage required to have made the first four pitches,
That is something few ever realize!
That is what shall be remembered and talked of with regard!
I am as satisfied as a human can be,

And on a morning as glorious as they come!
A man could do far worse ... FAR worse!
Blessed, am I, to know such a remarkable day,
Immersed in the splendid colors and aromas and sounds of nature,

The sandy gray tones of the rock face sliding by,
The wind whistling a fond farewell in my ears,
And the immaculate crystal heavens dropping away ...
As I soar downward ...

To my end.


Premium Member Rhapsody of Color and Light

Written: January 28, 2025, for contest

                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maples dance in fugue autumn's breath,
Symphony of mistral whispers,
In rhapsody, crimson embers adorn the sky,
In the musical air, copper leaves dance,
A mirthful, free caramel trill stems from the clay.
 
Alabaster sky sparkles with magic flares,
Rainbow frescoes flash at times,
Butterfly sylphs mutter arias into floral seas,
Abalones on a velvet tide stir sunlit petals.  

Nature's fairy chorus sings slightly,
A frosty canopy awakens chrysalis dreams,
Iridescent hues paint blue skies with magic.   

Each hue speaks, from rosy dawn to auburn sunset,
evoking fall-fading charm and whispered secrets.  

Alabaster dreams soar as frost kisses farewell,
The chrysalis trio dances to the fading light,  
Each leaf and shadow carries rhapsodic sounds,  
A nature-painted fresco with hues that merge into twilight.

Premium Member Whisper

Whisper

The whisper of the eternal God tiptoes in sighs
Breathing inspiration to the artist and the pen,
Murmurs consolation to grieving eyes,
Shivers in the tamed typhoon of shame to the cheating heart,
Quietly touches a fearful hand in the breath of silence,
Awakening praises of devotion in new antiphons,
Caresses moments of illumination,
Embraces weakness with the sweet fragrance of grace,
Leaves the shadow of a smile in moments of a-ha,
Exhales breathless anticipation like the haunting flute,
Floats with yearning to share secrets in the sanctuary of creation,
Soft brush in wispy silhouettes for shadows of questions,
Fluttering perpetual vow - abiding in tender vows -
No cold mistral disturbs the flow of prayers and pleas,
Ever restless seeks the soul’s attention in an airy gossamer kiss,
Ever present guardian,
Everlasting whisper of the eternal.

Inspired by Whisper to Me - not entered.

Premium Member A Kingdom In Need of Ruling

Amidst forest sheath, shelters a castle once coppice
Yielded promises once kept now relinquished roughness
Shadows lace the ferns, cracks, and emboss moss; orchestral 
Pieces crawl upon the ancestral stone castle walls
Noiseless dark and foreboding hypnotic mistral wind 
Surround and bound my realm of one with one and all blind

Ought I, beget this magical slumbering beauty
Verdant tapestries would flourish my solemn duty
Sovereignty thereof my own medieval kingdom
Beauty in its grandeur, brandish domains sublime rhythm
Kingdom undivided ruled with integrity
Capture back what had been once blessed with its legacy


Days would chuckle with praise of honeysuckle sunlight
Rewriting freedom like the ocean waves move to bite
Bathed in the light will flourish enjoying the harvest 
Overflowing wealth of golden fields, rivers, harnessed
Gardens comfort lambent skies through nourishing seasons
In my  reign;  doors open welcoming to the region
