she wandered lonely as a thought,
an Autumn leaf in spinning play
a mirage that could not be caught,
and whispered laughter sought in vain
the heart that once it wandered through,
so that it could at last explain
the reason skies are seldom blue.

For every star there is a cloud
that hides the image of its glow,
like angels... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (backstreetdreamer) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/20118 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:03:44 GMT <![CDATA[ Earth - Willowdown ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/20179/t/Earth-Willowdown.html image

just when the sky whitens
to marble stillness and winds smooth down
last wisps of movement on the lake.

Gowned in black silence, my body swirls tall --
an approachable storm birds do not fear.
It harbors no wrath, only the dark shine
of anguish poured out in sculpture,
a still woman
grieving the force of words
she released at noon.

cumulating clouds-- sprinkles above
heaven endowed-- down pourings of love

freshly sown snows-- swelling her seas
fomenting flows-- spawned pearls to be

Your snow white face is frozen in despair
chestnut hair flowing 'round your shoulders
blue green eyes gazing into shadows gone
rimmed red with dreams that have died

You sit alone in silent, sanguine reflection
reliving a life which has walked from you
He was the love of your heart, beloved
too dear to you to ever know how dear

Your heart learned to live in cold fears
long before he arrived to win your hand... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Cottagerose) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19813 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:07:12 GMT <![CDATA[ Rich Roach ~ When Blueness Dies ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19712/t/Rich-Roach-When-Blueness-Dies.html ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Jean Lewis) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19712 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 03:27:46 GMT <![CDATA[ Countenance ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19676/t/Countenance.html (Portrait study of a homeless woman)

It's the vaulted part of her face

of faith -- the great church
that called her in and gave
nothing but candles stuttering

I marvel at this morning, buttressed wide
above the frosted dew, kissing the leaves,
the outstretched arms of stubble fields and sheaves
yet ripened rich with colour, heaven-dyed
and full beneath my autumn eyes.

Lithe shadows lick the windows, limbing panes
through which I sense a stillness so refined

Dear Lass, come hither and hear my heart
you of the slender, graceful, womanly form
whose chestnut locks flow in twinkling waves
rivaling the shine of the sun upon spun ice

Yes you, of the tender face and sea eyes
gaze with love upon me and remember it
the moment we understood a harsh pain
that we both had to hold and keep sacred

As you wander the land,

To rest for a while,
Like the refuge of calm
In the depths of your smile.

With the perfume of shade,
Let it braid you with shadows

That drift on latticed satin wings
Until they fall, like leaves to earth
To touch the lips that gave them birth.

On a mist embroidered night,
Like dancers on a curtain
When their movements meet the light,
And each movement masqueraded
With such symmetry and grace,
Every dream that ever wandered through
The smile upon your face.
