Ono no Komachi Color of the flower Has already faded away, While in idle thoughts My life passes vainly by, As I watch the long rains fall. |
What do you see?

Ogura Hyakunin Isshu - Ono no Komachi
Electrified
I stand
amazed
in front of this love
 |
| Electrified, by Peggy Garr |
How deep,
how strong,
how soft,
its voice can be heard
through the miles
and the waves of the sea
that separates us
Its sweetness
like the song of a nightingale
on a moonless night,
Its sadness
so thick,
like a cloud of rain
in all shades of gray
Its power,
sparkling like a firework...
I stand
amazed
in front of this love
that came
when I was looking
at the opposite direction
when I had only imagined
that I had loved before....
ambition of a poet...

eat my lines
swallow my verses
they are nothing but my breathing in the night
when you sleep
and i lay awake searching for questions
tear apart
all my pages
throw the black ink of my heart
upon them
let the words stain your soul
return to where they came from
dancing on your tongue
singing in your ears
nesting inside you
burn my poems
to keep your heart warm
in the middle of a frozen dream
scatter their ashes to the wind
let my writings
die under cherry trees and lovers's cries
leave my words to melt inside your lips
like the mad fruits of despair and agony
slowly
make my thin paper flesh
white origami birds
butterflies, kites, snow flakes, lost hopes
forget me, in the end
forget me -
let me
become
the poem....

Melancholy full moon...
 |
| Woman looking at the moon, By CopiousSilverBirch , on Photobucket. |
Melancholy full moon, so high
find my beloved,
caress his eyelids with your light
and make him dream
of me...
A stabbed Moon...
A stabbed Moon
red, thrown inside the night sea
a new passion
a heart
of a woman in love
bitten to the core...
Under my fingers

under my fingers
your skin so soft like velvet
wounds my memories...

Love is passion - Meet Joe Black
"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."

in your smile raindrops dancing
happy
in your sweet embrace, my pulse
becomes a quiet whisper...

Secrets in your silence
like the wind, I dont know where they come from

stars sleep peacefully...
a pensive moon

Behind the melancholy pine
a pensive moon
leaning over
the sorrow
of this world...
madness

Between sanity
and madness, just emptyness
filled with rays of light
Oedipus...

| The Riddle by Michael Parkes ~ |
you think you already know
who you are
but in the end
there is always
someone else
waiting for you
to unveil the face
in the mirror...
is it you?
is it you?
oh,the agony
and the joy
to find out -
it was always you....
The rain so far away
i open my eyes
your hand resting on my thigh
your fingers moving
as we lay , Sunday morning
and the rain so far away...
