HB 2027

 Happy Birthday, Enchantress 2027

Stars come out, profuse display

On this, the most momentous day

Time runs on without delay

Exposing all that I belay

Fountains flow in bright array

In revel and a vast dismay

The wonder of the blinding ray

Of you and of your rebel way


Happy Birthday, Gypsy Empress 2027

Reading through the book that's meant for you

Uplifting heart, revealing loving view

Insights fall like petals on the lawn

Renewing heart, revealing a new dawn

Of Love like none before that's ever been

A life like none that ever has been seen




Happy Birthday, Kaleidoscope 2027

As shadow of the sun arrives across the varied scene

The glistening of heart of love, more real than ever been

Angels of the Earth and Sky and Song's Kaleidoscope

Leaving watchers breathless, seeking for some way to cope

The trends of time will have their way

The dance in arms of swing and sway

The love that drives the lesson through

That all of life and heart is due

Through lifetimes long with hint of you

I carry on, to life bestrew




I feel like it's going to be one of those years, with heart renewed.

"Certainty"

 Certainty

Just a sign with certainty 

Of thoughts that you apply to me

Met with receptivity

With surety, would set me free

Your cautious steps, I know their source 

Necessity has laid their course

I laboured to rework the score

To fill the life with something more

Knowing you have sung the scale

Would fill my life, my heart, and tale

So long

 It seems I really have run out of rhoetry.  The book is more than double the size of the last one sent.  I keep trying but it seems I've run out of steam ... and heart, maybe.


I did make on last attempt...


Mists

Beyond the vague concealing mists

Hidden by the tale of twists

Behind the veil of waterfall

Remains the clear and steady gaze

Unbent, at last, and standing tall

Fresh from charge of demon's raze

Shedding armour, once and for all

Undisguised, attractions fell

Finally, no tale to tell

Still, the urge to craft it bright

Replace the armour with the light

More enduring than the steel

Shattered stain glass, by the feel

Wrest the demons from your fate

Trample them, in light ablate

It's funny, that, the unwrit tale

The devastating one, I fail

The clatter of the armour as it falls

Sigh, within my hardened bones, it calls

Transcribing all the legends of the past

Still, one spell remains that has been cast

No desire to let the spell abate

I nurture it, the end result of fate


So, maybe, it's just creaky machinery due to disuse but, still, I have no desire to post (or be) online any longer. I am uncertain as to whether filling a book that will never be published, or sent again, would be engaging.

"Intrusion's end"

 Intrusion's end

Don't worry my dear

I won't be there

As you take to the stage, once more

Your revel is clear

I'd hate to stare

As you open your heart to the score


Intrusions are ending

But, rhoems are wending

To make of this life what I may

No certainty here

That the ether is clear

But, still, I have something to say


I won't bother your stride

As I take to the ride

In the only way left

 Without feeling bereft

'Tis just as it's been in the past

My existence remaining a fast

Something I never have sought

But the will on its own as it fought

Through the willanuck ways that are taught

Excuse me if rhoems are wrought

For you


"Mountain mists"

Mountain mists

The swirling mountain mists enshroud the quiet majesty

Enclosing all the trails and joy of pomp and pageantry

The solemn vows are hidden 'neath the cap of each dewdrop

The pinnacle revealed in light as mist departs the top

The rumble of the mountain can be heard both far and wide

The pain of rocky remnants tumble down the mountainside

The tumble scatters risks down on the trails on which we ride

No shelter can be taken with no place in which to hide

The mist in mountain's shadow cloaks the rumbles deep inside


w

"Touching"

 Touching

Sing to the mountains

Sing to the skies

Bursting from fountains

Let river raise tides


The day her drawbridge touches land

The day she fills the world

When all the love is faintly fanned

The woman's flag unfurled

The day the wonder of her voice

Rings out with no more pain

Is day that life has won its choice

The ending of the rain

The day the voice that ne'er holds back

Is singing, free of heart

The day in which we find the knack

For chains to fall apart


One of her nicknames is Gaia. Artful Dodger, or Gypsy Empress, also.  Another layer is about womanhood.  For me, they are the same.


"Raindrops"

 Raindrops

As much as you complain about your heart

In efflorescence from the very start

It scatters like the raindrops from a storm

In vast expressions of the woman's form

Transcendence lies between the raindrop's tears

Combustion of the end of all your fears


Another one I halted before it got out of hand.  Maybe I'm learning something.  Maybe not.

"Empress' ways"

 Empress' Ways

Every time I leaf on through the layers

As I ponder all the sundry players

There is no doubt within my mind

In every channel, bound in kind 

The Empress gets it right

She raises standard, leads the way

Into forays, she leaves at bay

The paltry and the fight


She fails to signify her grace

No thought thereof, without a trace

As my heart begins to race

I guess she feels she stumbles

As life begets the rumbles

As all of mankind humbles

Recovering the grace

" Display"

 Display

For some, the secrets of the heart

A difficult display

Through a life, right from the start

You know more than you say


You blaze and, then, transcend display

A shelf-life lived in days

And, so, I rhite it on the way

Expose the mythic maze


A little isolation

That was bought at such a cost

Defining all creation

Bringing refuge to the lost


I realized, today, that I believe in you far more than humanity.



"A Puff of Wind"

A Puff of Wind

A puff of wind that brushes 'gainst the cheek

A random wave that hits the highest peak

A sense of life that will not let it go

An ache to let the wonder waters flow


A brush's stroke, an image in the mind

Piano's note, that leads to more in kind

The lips against her cheek and words in rhyme

The loving 'cross a wild expanse of time

The thrill is not in rising to a peak

But, seeing in your eyes the love we seek

The sharing is the loving, knees so weak

The river of the love from minor creek


 I had to stop writing this one before I went overboard.  I think I like it.
