The Boundaries of Love

my heart
dwelleth in
this iron cage
thus
one way in but
no way out
so where are the
boundaries of love
Stu Harley Sep 2023
The ancient eyes of the Ethiopian sky,
Gaze down upon the land, where time drifts by.
In their depths, a history etched in every hue,
Stories of a culture both old and new.

Beneath the celestial canvas, a tapestry unfolds,
With stars like diamonds and stories untold.
The cradle of humanity, where life first began,
In the Ethiopian sky, the Earth's ancient plan.

The constellations dance, a timeless ballet,
As night turns today and darkness gives way.
The moon's gentle glow, the stars up high,
Are the ancient eyes of the Ethiopian sky.

They've witnessed empires rise and fall,
Heard the voices of generations call.
In their watchful gaze, the world they've seen,
From the mountains to the valleys, where nature's queen.

The Ethiopian sky, a treasure trove of lore,
A testament to the past and the stories it bore.
In its ancient eyes, we find our roots,
A connection to history, in its silent pursuits.

So as we look up and ponder the why,
Let's remember the wisdom in the Ethiopian sky.
In its celestial embrace, we're never alone,
For in its ancient eyes, our stories are known.

If I Should Say - Part II
Stu Harley Jun 2013
If I should say to the king,
I will bring you this ring
Glory be to his great
And powerful majesty,
Who sits on the royal throne,
Ruling over the Great Land
Of Nottingham

Wearing seal and royal
Crown of the King,
Appointed me knight
In shiny amour with orders
To crush and flush
The insurgency
From the enchanted lands,
And long live the King
Of Nottingham

At last, victory
Is on our side,
And we shall not be moved
As we march through
The village gates of doom, fear not,
Our blades are sharpened,
And blessed by the
Church of England
And we know them well,
We pause to drink sweet nectar
With the angels of glory

Precious, enchanted drinking well,
Your beauty dwells deep
In the earth’s domain,
And I am prepared to take
The endless plunge
To greet your eternal love
Stu Harley Sep 2018

really do
believe
that
when
the
songbird sings
among
the
cherry maple trees
where
they
flap their wings
through

they
find a way
to
carve out the sky
full of sweet clouds
that
give
us
all the world

i
remembered
back in the day
when
we
could not afford

mama
washed our clothes
the

mama scrubbed
by
hand
on a washboard
then
she
separated the clothes
to
put
the
clean clothes
out
on
the clothesline
with
wooden clothes pins
to
air dry
in
the fresh sunlight
anyway
mama
would never mix
the
white clothes
with
them
