"Through a foggy window in the rain ― When you thought no one was watching ― Going through your memories like so many prisons to escape ― And become someone else with another face and another name" ― an excerpt from: "Through the Window" Chris Cornell
. *Nascent love blossomed           hidden amongst           the lazy river's           moonlit summer vines                              as we swam blissfully,           stark naked as we are,           drowning in a dulcet river’s spilled wine Burning rapture garnered somewhere in the starlit goosebumps shine sensual healing released like spindrift from every breaking wave; splashing impassioned ecstasy within passion suffused sighs           The cadence of our moon shadow's dance           reveled in the midnight reign                     enslaved by an insatiable           stardust rhapsody,           unshackled lovers set free,           entangled beneath the jealous stars*                                                          ­

Entanglement (sensual)
Float seeds in the wind strewn about haphazardly; indifferent winds ask not direction to course Change asks not permission to become ― like a blind-folded pilot looking for a place to land At least dandelion wishes shoulder the weight of hope and it makes no difference to the wind whose dream it holds or seed it bears to  randomly cast away The color of a mustard seed of faith that moves mountains remains unknown ― Freedom is as weightless as a hole in empty pocket with nothing left to lose Who decides who's a **** and what's a flower; such definitive power beholds responsibility— the most visible kind of strength, that, used to oppress others, is itself born of weakness. On this island earth, in an ocean of emptiness, a grain of sand and seaweed are washed ashore, alone together, by the strength of a tuning tide Float seeds in the wind strewn about haphazardly; spindrift flying on the wing of tide-change as indifferent gales ask not direction to scatter Terrestrial seeds lay unheeded hole up in impalpable silence, embryos of yesterday dwelling in infrequent sighs that enter lightly those unreckoned songs the breathings of the heart fail to sing               words in the wind

Born a ****
#*Sometimes in the mornin' dawn awakens unquiet heart     swaddled    in a dream ―        and       i hear     a whisper     from a voice, gentle as a burning       candle,  sing to me softly without words ... a stirring moment ripples ― an unholdable dream     fleeting;     lapping wakeless silence; ... vanishing , . .     swilled by the daylight    just beyond    closed eyes      awoken     and now  it's only me       again* words in the wind

Such a simple thing
I often wonder how you’re doing      but I wish I didn't care Even though you never told me you were leaving      with a mouthful of words left unsaid Still circling back to touch the growing space      between ―  twice you broke my heart I felt you slip away in autumn gold      fading like the morning dew Love can drift away like a molted feather; wonted flotsam swept afar on stormy seas Some things are better left unspoken,      when silence speaks twice             louder than words But love lies with a whisper; tears of sombre sorrow      won’t wash away the distance in your eyes These are the days of a rising tide's breach   when, I could walk deep into the ocean      with no one else but memories                 to leave behind                                        April 2018

... love lies with a whisper
synergy in the mist of creations' breath... multitudes croaking so loudly drowning in eventide dew, all the wind's timbre is hushed; overcome by earth’s communing symphony, creations’ living pulsing thrum.. alone in a crowd proclaiming the glory of now... whelmed, and i wishing i were a frog, and unalone in the throng maybe such evolution    as this—    is reversing...     Ouroboros     touched wondrously by spoken wind, urgently i need to search for an intimate kiss metamorphosis, another incarnation that will turn me    back into a frog— a speck of stardust in a sky full of stars seems better than feeling like stardrift ashes a burned out candle muted by the gypsy choir *the call of the wild sung in the wind* wild is the wind

the gypsy choir in the wind ...
We were born before the sighs of surrender before the twilight whispered crescendo before the sad sound of the wind ― Ere the raw truth that tells a story      through "eyes that are the windows    of the soul" ― We were born with eyes wide         open      with tears     that well up of truth unspoken,   love arising         like a budding flower,.. metamorphosis of fertile heart ― The wheel of life turns unbound an outgoing tide    as certain as     continuum        abides ― an unbroken lariat   until the knot   comes untied A lonesome dove coos   perched upon deserted garden gate; its gentle plea segued into a silent prayer ― Seasons change;    supple buds of forlorn love ― wither, unsure if we’re alone          or if we’re alone together (?)!                                                   ­  ­             .

the tears that are unspoken truth
Once I had a friend     and soulmate, we were dreamin’ we could fly away     with the wind;     but knowing wings are for angels, we stood transfixed   beneath the light   a sky full of stars hanging onto a dream       we clutched so tightly,       perched high       on the edge       of the world, wondering how far      and how high the great wide open      sky blue skies            abide believing the power   of kept promises ― you said you’d forever    catch me if I fall ― letting go of the fears,  blindfolded hope clinched so deeply,     hanging onto a wing and a prayer I guess I wanted it      far too much      reaching out   like a thirsty fool grasping for a mirage ― teetering on the brink     unspoken love,    a vast unknown   threshold beyond           wings with eyes wide open throwing caution afar ―    in a leap of faith I reached ― out of reach    into the mystic wind ―     believing in dreams,       in destiny's tease:        I’d learn to fly          before I hit         the ground but now I’m perpetually           free fallin’   I see the empty space    all around me pass a fleeting lifetime lost ―    still  you’re nowhere        to be found ―     and I remember what’s been forgotten:        how far down   rock bottom befalls   when your spinning     round and round       like dust eddies         in a fog bank       lost in the wind .

before the rain
a bowl-shaped hollow greystone pool amongst boulders songbirds bathe and sing words in the wind

After the rain
If only there were words            to the unspoken verses            when silence is the only sound            More than only            near paralyzing torn,            weary of searching endlessly            for what cannot be found            silence whispering poignantly            drowning out the midnight rain,                       There is no more sorrow            in search of the lost            unstrummed guitar chords            Unwritten psalms            forever left unsung;            without amity,            woe betides an unfinished,            abandoned heart's song            Only a heart lonely knows,            there is no absolving darkness            whispering of screaming silence            by night and by day:            "all things must steal away"              not to be thought of wanderings end            as a  velvety-crimson rosebud            shamelessly withers brown            Swirling eddies stir            a black swan of loneliness            swimming within the flood            of raven river waters'            silently eclipsing            its pitch black flow            Muted pleas silent as pity            blowin' in the fleeting windsong,            speaking in beckoning salutations            singing in sweetly beseeching tongues            Like the hush of a pensive soul,            once touched by another, moved            like a bedrock marrowed mountain            left stifled, stranded and wondering,            feeling an awkward silence            when the leaves come falling down            There are no misbegotten promises            cast lightly in the moonlight’s restless spell;            there is no solacing stillness when silence is the only sound...
