This is an ongoing collection of poems I have written so far in 2010. I kind of have them arranged like I would envision them in a book.<br/><br/><br/><font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Melancholia</span></font><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">I</span><br/>I’ve heard from a rumor that I am ahead<br/>I am my shadow, sleeping still in bed<br/>My voice not distinct, barely a whisper instead<br/>Severed at the root, gutted, I’m in red<br/>Dying a flower, curling in the sunlight with dread.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">II</span><br/>A broken wish<br/>A pull of the knife<br/>My heart shatters<br/>My being vanishes<br/>The pain dispels me<br/>I bleed, I ebb out<br/>My innards naked<br/>A broken task<br/>I have lost myself.<br/><br/>Ages ago<br/>I once had a face<br/>A map of being<br/>A quest to fulfill<br/>A rite to begin<br/>I once looked forward<br/>Where no distance was behind me<br/>The path a sharp incline<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">III</span><br/>Glazed over eyes<br/>Iconic symbols of rotation<br/>Last emotion lost expression<br/>In a vacuum of silence<br/>Slip cover of the field<br/>The empty void with out <br/>Oh so black matter, no reflection<br/>you deflect me into this section<br/>crushing me with disdain<br/><br/><br/><font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Transformative</span></font><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">I</span><br/>Sun twist a beam<br/>A cord ascending the dream<br/>A wick, a flame<br/>A bend in the night<br/>A wrinkle piercing my vision<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">II</span><br/>Radiant elixir warms me<br/>Coursing down my crown<br/>My heart opens with delight<br/>Molten gold burn away the shadow<br/>Life stream ejected by a star beam<br/>Eternal flame erupts inside<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">III</span><br/>You tear at my soul<br/>Bend the rays<br/>Bite my very nerves<br/>With your sting<br/>You are a force<br/>Altering my sight<br/>You drain all the light<br/>You are the night<br/>You are the very source<br/>I run trying to shake you<br/>My vision of me is shattered<br/>You are a fire, you never tire<br/><br/>I stumble to fumble<br/>Into myself a mess<br/>Looking for the opening <br/>my center where I fly<br/>To the sun and never run<br/>For joy is a butterfly<br/>Trapped in my heart<br/>Beating with it<br/>Captivated by the inner<br/>No sinner here<br/>Just a sojourner<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">IV</span><br/>Spiral:<br/>I am in the force of the roll<br/>The mix and dance<br/>As light is the lance<br/>Piercing the center of all<br/>The pool of energy<br/>A cosmic effigy<br/>The center of it all so small<br/>The light crescents so tall<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">V</span><br/>The great tree<br/>Shades me<br/>All through life<br/>In the light<br/>I cannot loose sight<br/>Of the path upward<br/>The many ways there<br/>I am so wayward<br/>I can not remember here<br/><br/>Rise up in me oh sun<br/>Oh mighty one<br/>Shine through out my soul<br/>Scatter the darkness<br/>Fill me with brightness<br/><br/>Set me on task<br/>Guide my feet<br/>Inside me set a seat<br/>Where we meet<br/>Use me like a flask<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">VI</span><br/>A pearl you hold in your hand<br/>So tiny, look inside<br/>A world is there, <br/>so far there is no end<br/>That is my heart, this land,<br/>A mirror of heaven.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">VII</span><br/>Oh lady Saule, take me into your embrace<br/>I am your organic subordinate<br/>Enslaved to your obelisk intent<br/>Lost to the spherical maze in the sky<br/>Eclipse me, oh draw me in the tapestry of eternity<br/>Into your dark timeless cavern<br/>Illuminate me, free me from boundary.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">VIII</span><br/>The flower dances in the wind’s ear<br/>Asleep she was, and veiled in petals<br/>The rose spins within itself to the sun<br/>The beat of a heart, the skip of time<br/>She stirs her gown ‘s skirts scarlet<br/>A lady she was a perfumed welcome<br/>The first princess in waiting she was<br/>The garden had been empty before<br/>Dead, the lady brought color and life<br/>The fairy hidden in the shell of red<br/>Waiting for butterfly wings to open<br/>For the sun to call her to its palace.<br/><br/><br/><font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mythos</span></font><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">I</span><br/>Thinly pressed, flattened, they lay<br/>Leaves under a tree, I thought<br/>Bodies, like pages, once sages<br/>Black and reddened in death<br/>No funeral they are all gone<br/>Forgotten tragedies cast aside<br/>By history and time, now symbols<br/>Words, abstracted, once real<br/>Once men who left in agony<br/>abandoned bones among stones<br/>Warriors of legends, and myths<br/>Under the sun and the moon<br/>Ballads, poems are their shadows<br/>Long passed were they here<br/>Mortal, and quickened to war<br/>No more their bed where they fell<br/>Yesterday it was there the canopy<br/>A hunters axe stole its column<br/>A builder removed the marker stone<br/>No sanctity for the dead, no place<br/>For men walk over and upon<br/>As if they’d never lived or died<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">II</span><br/>Play my heart<br/>My soul a whirl<br/>On the strings of the land<br/>My hands trace its contours<br/><br/>Paint with the sun<br/>The prophet rises<br/>A planted seed<br/>Tearing at my heart<br/><br/>Oh the river swirls <br/>Enlightened string<br/>Curving and bending<br/>With my fingers<br/><br/><br/><font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Resilience</span></font><br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">I</span><br/>They trampled me, scrambling me<br/>Broke suffrages with me all under foot <br/>When I breath I feel the sorrow<br/>The underlying fear of tomorrow <br/>The uncertain destination of which I wait<br/>Everyone coming behind me is to late<br/>They had oppressed me, imprisoned me<br/>Unable to suppress my spirit inside<br/>I closed the door, the space is solely mine<br/>entwined in my thinking it's all sublime<br/>neath the dark shapes there is twilight<br/>Look sun ward, toward the light inside<br/>there forms hope, and the will to survive.<br/><br/><font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Visionary</span></font><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">I</span><br/>I’m in a trance, in a dance<br/>Flames licking around me<br/>Drumming and strumming<br/>Resonate through my head<br/>Potent potion for an exile<br/>Serpentine stones and oil<br/>Greasy and warm on my skin<br/>Whispers of heated debate wage<br/>Tongues of fire and flesh, wag<br/>All around, dancing in my head<br/>Masks fell and voices faded<br/>sparks died into quietness and ash<br/>My heart and pulse louder inside<br/>The watcher over me was motionless<br/>Fevered and hoarse, aloud I cried<br/>“Go to the edge of the camp<br/>The lioness awaits her first kill.”<br/>Bone tools and flint axes took flight<br/>With warriors painted in blood and chalk <br/>I fell back eyes glazed, almost lucid<br/>The purr of the cat so loud in my head<br/>Her hot breath caressed my neck and chest<br/>The child walked past us and I screamed<br/>Feeling her breath die within my heart<br/>Weighted under claws, and a hoard of teeth<br/>The beast took all our soul with her in flight<br/>My voice hoarse and parched, and cracked<br/>Alone in the void of mourning, in pain<br/>No day or night saved me from the tears<br/>hot coals carving into my face and eyes<br/>The beast fell to late as hate and regret came<br/>In her place with accusations in my head<br/>Locked in a trance, its spell holding me<br/>My spirit was captive not alive still in the cat<br/>The watcher dressed me in paint for death<br/>To fevered to hear the lies told around me<br/>I was a shell, a body, my face a mask of death<br/>A cold, terror stone in my hand, the heart<br/>A bloody weight in my palm and mind<br/>A kettle held a spittle with cat, I was trapped<br/>Wails, and cries overtook the darkness<br/>Still I was laid prone out on my back<br/>No hand, no word, could still my limbs<br/>Nor the eye from on high, or the force of the wind<br/>In my last breath, I felt my heart again.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">II</span><br/>I am cast by the Shadow, a mold of the inner, set in light<br/>Born of the Tree, the true consort, the great Pearl so bright<br/>From nothingness I seed, within the womb of a new world<br/>Buried deep, feet sunk downward, my arms had not formed<br/>While entwined in the primal ruin, sightless, and discarded<br/>I have No strength, no will, slave to all that which is within <br/>A prisoner tamed by the wall, all boundaries have held me<br/>My head hits the ceiling, my bed a wet womb that is cold.<br/>“I am Asherah, your mother. You daughter are my mirror.<br/>I am the plane jumper! The gate thrower! The Key to Liberty!<br/>The Goddess of the Tree I am, with power over the Three<br/>I ride to the heavens in a bright chariot, to rule there!<br/>With a thought I fall to the underworld, crashing the gates!<br/>I am the perilous Eye, ever present in your vision, where I rule!<br/>Demons flee, angels send decrees, and the heavens shake.<br/>I sink past your understanding, spiraling while in descent.<br/>I draw down all light within and without. I am the transformer!<br/>The planes bend to me, and cave to my very word, in a second.<br/>I am goddess , the mother of life, I am the deliverer here now!<br/>I am the Pearl caught in the hand of the divine, the seal of the All!<br/>All doors and walls fall at my fast approach, clutch to me!<br/>Hold your head high, oh Priestess , there are no barriers here<br/>No reproach, just surrender and believe, all power awaits and bliss.”<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Scribbling With Wordstag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2010-04-08:2185477:BlogPost:381422010-04-08T23:56:44.000ZAnthemhttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Anthem

the dark sky there smiles a rainbow. In the dark mouth are all the colors, the universe gave us. For this day, we stand in fear, but it gave us this life each other, and this moment to see the smile of our world still a wash from the rain under a dark cloud. With a billion suns we are particles of thought sparked by the divine.<br/><br/><br/>See all the sounds about where you step<br/>Listen to the colors as they swirl <br/>With them you radiate and bounce off<br/>In a place you cannot see<br/>You send energy every time you collide<br/><br/>Songs are birds<br/>Flying in our hearts<br/>Singing around us<br/>Coloring around us<br/>Songs are birds<br/>Wingless wonders<br/> Inside ourselves<br/>Songs are birds<br/>Revolutionary shapes<br/>Magical alphabets<br/>Vibrational orbits<br/>Spiraling melodies<br/>Taking us to bliss<br/><br/>Oh silent one, draped in petals<br/>Suspended from the trunk of your mother <br/>Left dangling in the wind<br/>Your heart open, the scent of you<br/>Fills me reminds me of long ago<br/>Oh silent one, the lost beauty<br/>In the realm of the sky<br/>In the mirror of heaven <br/>I’m bathed in light<br/>Oh silent one, bloom within <br/>Eternal immanence and peace<br/>Let not the wind shake you<br/>Or the soaking rain wake you<br/>On your journey of opening.<br/><br/><br/>I am Atom<br/>Totality of the Sum<br/>The center of the orbit<br/>The ruler of the spiral<br/>The radiance of all<br/>A pearl lays at the wall
