Poetry / Totem Bird
Version 1
6 Reviews   15 Comments
I am raven, jet solitaire, diamond-tailed shaped - messenger, bridge between two worlds; one, palpable, the other, dream, my psychic soars above heather. I bring spirit, inner knowledge & often scavenge on useless. I am message & messenger. I sometimes call... summon or jeer - my presence breaks this earth silence, you know your future is changing. Let me awake you, lone dreamer.

poet's note: with grateful thanks to Jon Anderson for "his" lightning & sun. hell feels like hole, hole unholy - unholy hall where we wander, wondering why we roam alone, alone again inside a hall so unholy we don't have wings to wander free, free from fancy fall inside hole, funnels of slime, slave to angels fallen by fate or accident... take, take, take - take me through the lightning; move me up, help me get the sun ... God, so happy to be alive .

No tree. No river. No mountain. Just two oceans. Tonight you returned on my fence. What more beautiful than your voice? I feel your birdsong through my rain - your heart beating in C major, you, my pink sunrise in darkness. Inside each dream drowns a dreamer, we share music, universal.

Poetry / Dreamworld
Version 1

I have listened to raven's voice. Dreams entangled in strange catchers - that shaman's web woven at night, liquid darkness in a seashell, when I reach out to other worlds. Otter, eagle or buffalo, all have a voice I understand. All dream of clouds around a moon invincible. They're just like me, afraid to wake to a trapper in camouflage; that hunter's stealth we only find on mother earth... Mine is hidden inside their minds. nat, 2007

Poetry / The Cherry Trees
Version 1
4 Reviews   2 Comments
There, at mountain foot in azure sky, orchards of dreams in rows of threes, trees dressed in white - cherry blossoms, immaculate fragrance of spring, fragile, so faint, awakes senses in honeybees, like courtesans in a ballroom; flowers of life, so delicate. Bobbing branches in April wind, like whimsical ballerinas, I feel humble to your sadness, time in garden that is not mine; petals of love in minuet. nat, 2007

Poetry / In Love
by JBShadowrose
Hi there :)) I love short burst of this kind - raw as they can be, full of energy :)) Have really enjoyed its feel, its sense of passion, fire - Overall it scans well, Great! Now, please allow me a few suggestions. Your opening line, like its last make be really powerful :)). "Love, from a tormented soul Rises from death" already impressive. But show, don't tell all concepts, such as "death". How do you view/descricbe death in 1 or a ouple of words? Why not, "Life, tormented, rising from dark...

Lyrics / Circle Roads and Roundabouts
by DCAllen
Hi there! What a twist - am listening to Yes here and have discovered your Lyrics ;-). As a Yes fan, I have really enjoyed them, very Jon Anderson like. I especially loved those images "road to heaven/ road to ruin", which made me think of artist Paula Cole somehow... i also love that concept of circles, ...no beginning, no end... so deeply rooted in First Nations' beliefs. To me your lyrics work well, even in spite of their abstraction; your choice of images is very apt. Lyrics don't necessa...
