Each Written Word #poetry #photography

sculpture – Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux

Each word was a thread

an interwoven part

tears like dew drops

 from a broken heart

*

Each word was a plea

silent call to you

catching the phrase

before the wind it blew

*

Each word echoed love

tumbled in the waves

polished over time

waiting for the day

*

Each word a duet

a  poem in the dust

 inscribing now my fate

your embrace, I trust

*

Each word an inspiration

of stories that I live

 inked is the promise

etched upon my skin

*

While penning, what does a poet seek ~ Fame, understanding, love, expression?

This week’s Prompt from Verse First “Writer’s are lovers”

 “Writers are great lovers… and great lovers realize that they are what they love.” ~ Ginsberg

Dedicated to a  poet I have long revered

Why Must Love’s Light Fail? #music #poetry #love

Love’s light casts her glow
Encircling two waltzing hearts
 Reaching upward as he grows
Love’s light casts her glow
 Reaching upward as he grows
Sunward is desire’s part
Love’s light casts her glow
Encircling two waltzing hearts
***
Two late love soars high crashing low
Why always must it be this way?
I reach for her. She cries “I know”
Too late love soars high crashing low
I strive for the moon she wants me so
Coldest night’s call “You must give love away”
Too late love soars high crashing low
Why always must it end this way?

This Triolet duet is inspired by the violin solo performed by the talented Jung Sung Ahn.

The Words Written in the Sky a Triolet Duet #poetry #NWCU

Echoes of Warmth Within

Sun Wisps Down

Fall’s Hues Shine

Echoes of Warmth Within

Fall’s Hues Shine

Contrast of Colors Spin

Echoes of Warmth Within

Sun Wisps Down

Brush Strokes Go On Forever

On a Backdrop of Blue

What Words They Don’t Say

Brush Strokes Go On Forever

What Words They Don’t Say

Brush Strokes Go On Forever

On a Backdrop of Blue

This week for  The New World’s Creative Union and Sunday Snap Shot,  I was inspired to perform a duet of color and words with my friend and co-writer Sean Vessey over at Knight’s Heart. It’s been awhile since Sean and I have dueted together so I asked him if he would be willing to duet off each other’s words and this photo rendering of the sky.

The Power to Rap #FlashFiction

( this is over 160 – don’t mess wit me)

Hear my stic  ‘bout knights of old

Tales foretold

but have u heard one

rarely laid down

Dis is bout a knight’s dayz off

he don’t fight

takes it downtown

the man is gettin down

rappin man is quite a fool

but boyz the ladies think he’s cool

Thanks to my friend Sean Vessey who keeps bailing me out of writing dilemmas. I think this is more his than mine. Join us, each Monday, as we begin The Quest of Titan our  endeavor in writing a novel in “duet” form.

Monkey Man is the fun and crazy weekly host of the fast and furious Flash Fiction. Why Flash? It’s over before you have begun. In 160 characters, there is nothing more than blinking that occurs.
