Songs of Oregon: No. 3 “you, far off there, under the wine-red selvage of the west!”

Sanctuary is here; hiding in plain sight Bedimmed beings step into the light Stumble upon you may; hear us you might All is welcome; no guard dogs that bite Step inside, matters not armed or unarmed Come as you are; steady or alarmed Sip and drink from our collective fountains Rest your eyes on our self painted mountains Come on close and meet us all Under shady trees or beyond the knoll Some of us don masks or hide behind names Some come naked but we're all one and the same See our lives, spun from heavy layered bales Woven intricate telling fantastic tales Weavings we let fly, to catch each other's fables and stories We admire them for what they are and the seed each carries Be aware... Should you not understand We may bear similar signatures but wear different brands We, the people, trade in euphemisms Broken sentences and long forgotten idioms We are weavers, dreamers and scribes Pouring here the outside world we imbibe We are unguarded hearts speaking in metaphoric tongues We provide safe haven for bruised souls with punctured lungs So welcome traveler, shed your load You might like it here in our coveted abode Revel in the monochromatic sights you see Where freedom of thought is revered in this here Sanctuary...

Sanctuary
I find myself diving inside of you where the weird dream shamans draw sketches of naked humans. And you’re a human, and we're both naked. You’re purple, you’re just the perfect shade. I place my flag inside, to abscond us away inside of a womb where our world will open to portals to all of our favorite places. A floating haven, of cashmere. Gestating where the climate is warm and damp, and coloring me dark with wine—sweet wine of lovers, penal forgotten, and fermented anew in maternal rite, because… This swarming melodic nectar that swims through my nostrils and rolls in my eyes cannot be drank casually. It’s the elixir of love. I love you, And in you, I find that I love myself. What’s more, the shamanists exclaim, “She wants to give you all of herself.” Yes, they’re right. Even what I do not love so much, I want you to have, if you’ll take it, because I have to live with it, and if you live with me, you’ll have to live with it too. And then, when you crack open your sternum to let the things in, the scribes of my life’s doing, of ancient passion proclaim! They burn their papyrus scrolls soaked in the blood that I drew from my veins to pass unto yours— and you swallow them whole like divine burritos. And then we are ready for the world to fall suddenly, if it felt so inclined. Now that our chests are pressed together, and our tongues are fused tight. We are the daughters of the prima mother. We are the goddesses of our dreams.

Save thyself and come down From the cross Likewise also the chief priests Mocking said amongst themselves With the scribes he saved other's Himself he cannot save Let Christ the king of Israel Descend now from the cross That we may see and believe And they that were crucified with him reviled him And when the sixth hour was come there was darkness Over the whole of the land until the ninth hour And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice Saying Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani? Which is being interpreted as My God My God why hast thou forsaken me? And entering into the sepulchre they saw a young man Sitting on the right side clothed in a long white garment And they were affrighted and he said unto them be not affrighted Now when Jesus was risen early in the first day of the week He appeared first to Mary Magdalene out of whom he had cast seven devils and when she told them that he had had been with him as they mourned and wept and they heard he was alive believed not And he said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be ****** and these signs shall follow them that believe and in my name shall thy cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink deadly things it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover so then after the Lord had spoken unto them he was received up into heaven and sat on the right side of God and they went forth and preached every where the Lord working with them and confirming the words with signs following Amen.

Wailing strings, bassoons, basset horns, thundering kettle drums lift angelic voices to glorious requiem. Pleas for Eternal Light’s remain in wings refrain.

Foretellers of dark illusion open Holy Scriptures to reveal the drone of Eternal Damnation: trumpets of ill drag Thee to Hell.

The poet’s quill scribes a vision of the debutante as she rests amongst the bluebells Scattered like jewels over the meadow. The delicate voice of the robins Echo through the valley, Where the gentleman tells of his ardor As they shelter amongst the weeping willows. Curls tumble from the confines of her hat, Parasol tilting to hide girlish blushes, Careless of her silk skirts they are crushed, lying as broken rose petals. She glows with the joy of an un-chaperoned picnic Scent of cinnamon scrolls tempt her senses, as her beau offers cider to moisten their suddenly dry throats. Dapper in his impeccable finery, Coat tails trailing, crisply starched shirt points lifting his chin, Top hat tilted at a rakish angle. Dark eye’s glinting with the thrill of his endeavors. Sunshine silhouettes the glory of the lovers, whom the poet has sewn together as an artist creates a masterpiece. Each syllable as a brushstroke on canvas. A Monet made not of oil and brushes, But ink and parchment. Every word scribed by the care of the poet, Transformed within the mind of the reader

Scribed masterpiece
Phanerogams are plants which produce seeds. The wanton harlot may be laid against the wall, with legs splayed, and may also have given birth to unbridled rage. However, even though such stages of development can be entitled as “son of a ***** it is worth noting that all behaviour has meaning, my darkened companion of presumed sophistication. The scholastic scribes will etch their wisdom upon the hardness of our vile vanity. I hold in my hand a gothic stone, where those who stand before the courts accused of heresy and witchcraft can plead innocence before chanting crowds of bloodlust. The reaper will gather the harvest at Lughnasadh, whilst the olfactory nerve propagates her funeral games amidst the cutting of ancient cornfields. As we perch upon the gallows end, let us join hands and chant the mantras of old. Photosynthesis is a forensic entrancement where there is no rest for the sinner.

Domestic Quarters of Medieval Vultures
One ever hangs where shelled roads part. In this war He too lost a limb, But His disciples hide apart; And now the Soldiers bear with Him. Near Golgotha strolls many a priest, And in their faces there is pride That they were flesh-marked by the Beast By whom the gentle Christ's denied The scribes on all the people shove And bawl allegiance to the state, But they who love the greater love Lay down their life; they do not hate

At a Calvary Near the Ancre
7/12/12   16:25pm At what price does man find favour with God? Down through the roiling clouds, from heavenly heights to earthly clay, where scribes had written scrolls of doctrines; down through old crumbling architraves, temples of cold ideals,  man spawned the Vengeful Word. With rage of angels, like effigies of gods, there sprang forth lords and hypocrites; all claimed to speak for God.  Then, in the maelstrom, came genocide of innocents, and hellfire fell like rain. When does a tower become too tall for God? Out of a clear blue sky came silver harbingers of doom, where men were writing drafts and spreadsheets; now crumbling down around them, swathed in hate-begotten fire; spawned from a vengeful god. No mortal angels could save the ones who perished, caught above the line of flame; while some below survived. Yet, in the chaos, sworn enemies in faith came out to save each other's fall. At what price can man enter Paradise? High above the minarets, the veiled dome of the sky students look up with wistful longing; yearning to be good radicals and cross the lines of fire to reap heaven's reward. Hate's vengeful angels pretenders to the throne of God take many shapes and forms, while moderates stay quiet; and with their silence give passive leave for lunatics to prate at heaven's door.

Rage of Angels
It happened, once only, on an African plain. A subtle mutation and everything changed. On Chromosome Seven A new protein emerged. A peripatic primate Spoke her first word. There were apes that were stronger or had larger brains. But it was **** sapiens who gave all things names. The mutation of speech, an advantage unknown,. soon reduced competition to a mere pile of bones. Our forebears surged forth From the African plains Some wandered to China, others summered in Spain. As elders died off, Their knowledge survived Through oral transmission til the advent of scribes. Now each human mother awaits baby’s first word It’s the price of admission to the tribe of the verb.

The Tribe of the Verb
I am the eccentric lovechild of a mother frondescent and a father evanescent Sprouted through corrupted soul Fed from the fish delivered free from a sea of blood and oil Uprooted I drift in sunlight towards an amiable oasis nurtured by scribes Roots form synthesis with a surface void of story My blooms entail alternative motions ranging from the aspect of a chaotic notion and the transcendent shiver given with ceremonial moments Traces of my lingering expanse traverse and terraform galactic sound gardens bursting at the seams with Gaia’s seeds Wither, decay, destined to resume once in full bloom Meandering with solar rays bonded by ebb and flow The remnants of the last sun ray plague the wanderer who was born of sunflowers

time steals up soft in autumn’s haze through fallen leaves and frosted morn no longer smiles through summer days bears dreadful gaze of mercy shorn scribes lines upon youth’s winsome face and brings the ache of stiffened joint gives halting stride and slower pace age piled like leaves does thus anoint yet in thine eye dwells springtide’s bloom in ardor’s dance is lightened tread warm voice dispels autumnal gloom at gentle touch are decades fled for love knows naught of count of days let the years flow as they will unclouded passion’s flames yet blaze I shall be thy lover still

hours drip slowly onto a taunting empty page the soul’s depictions brushed simply a palette of whispered words dry as if it were thoughts painted onto a tightly stretched canvas it's been said so many times before                    similes,...      form clots at the tip of the quill                     words,... finally surrendering to gravity’s flow as the ink scribes the paltry ruminations; flooding the same stifled notions another way into another moment metaphorical sleights of hand incarnate onto the absolving        sheet of parchment; traces of past now’s ensconced        in considered words         miles of silent reverie,                      spun,...         like a spider reprocessing,         carefully savoring         each fine silk thread of web,         spinning the womb of time... © H.A.  Rivers 2012 … All Rights Reserved

The Womb of Time
~ we the people, long have known the write of passages and poems, whether bellwether, envisionist or revisionist, too oft have thought this journey long, and weight of hope and change to another there belongs; yet i subscribe that we as scribes, can right this ship, not merely write it's wrongs; for we it's pride with hearts ascribe, and note-by-note, as carpenters and soldiers, we its authors and its poets, in words, in deeds, writers, of a patriot’s song; with deepest definition, and inner soul reflection, it's stanza, chorus, bridges, we must lovingly inscribe. ~ *post script. i know i am but one of many, who disillusioned, feel alienated, and could just as easily choose withdrawal as my reaction to our nation’s political plight. this then my belief, my plea, my hope we’ll see, withdrawal is not an option, that our words, deeds and even our writings carry weight, and bring with them hope and change to each community within which we each serve.  we are not merely writers of our history... we are authors of our destiny!   if you are not an American, hope and pray for us, please, for we desperately need your support!!   if you are, pick up the pen... pick up the charge... be the change!!*

Faceless books relive life as pseudo-abbreviated scribes the tip tapping of helvetica lies reporting banal times falsified laughter coughed up between every three lines Faceless books wasting precious time gathering the masses for the fanfare of a couple of guys and gals. Crippled by conformity to fit within cyber-society for cyber-friends and cyber-lives, virtually living a virtual life without virtually living in the first place. Posing pursed lips and filming grainy video clips one-liners of the wall signers pretending to pretend to care to come off as they actually pretend to care to begin with. Two hundred and plus empty entities and counting, the next person met can subscribe to my life now.

Faceless Books
Nebulous and Refined The castle is a chain-smoker. The king wears a three piece suit. And in the air, most everywhere that scent just does not dilute. - A car lot filled with scribes and serfs that assemble to deliver their willing tax. They bump and argue for the closest view of their Man-God on high: Glycine max. - Employment is down! Crime is up! What if the factories all move away? This town will surely shrivel and die! That's what the soiled townsfolk say. - They humbly bow to their master's whim but behind him they say much more. Another Dead Man found Stale Lee in the vents. Carcinoma galore.

Decatur, A Kingdom in Six Parts, Part I: Nebulous and Refined
With obsolescent clarity Amid moribund metaphysical Mutations As the iridium ball rolls From eponym to epitaph Engeneering an epoch diarama In surfeit metronomic hysteria While time chases time into infinity Episodic vagaries celebrate The metaphoric metamorphosis rising to Metaphysical majesty as vacuous As any minutiae will When abstract vagaries Become the vagrant epitome Of a mordant mosaic Made entirely of the lost causes Torn from the very core I surmise As being the virulent.... .....Tragic and irridescent pieces Left along the allegorical antipathy Where those that are left behind By the stigmatation Of any irascible involutions Mired in the mesh Of scribbles and scribes Left After the iridium ball rolls By Leaving vacuous irridescent Symbols of epigraphical Proportions Stymied by The obsolescent clarity Amid moribund metaphysical  mutations.

As the iridium ball rolls
The scholar sits by candlelight Pouring over many a forgotten volume Left behind by his ancestors to reveal unto him, The secrets and majesty of the world His tired eyes move over scripture Marked with the ink stain of experiences past And cerebral treasures long forgotten to modern man The scholar sits by candlelight, Scribing into parchment the secrets of his days For his grandsons grandsons to find, And pour their tired eyes over the volumes, Marked with ink stains of experiences past Cerebral treasures still long forgotten.. The scholars hand still scribes away For the best understanding of today Lies in the knowledge of yesterday

The Scholar
For we vile and unquenchable creatures scavenge the twisted fate of imagination; take pleasure not only in the creation but in the movement, harmony, and persuasion a verse evokes. Enthralled and misted by Ambiguity, Intangibility, and a verdict - a sole desire to reach what the mind wails, a conclusion. Beware, for elegantly, a writer scribes or utters nonsense for a mere, distant consultation yielded by the faithful art. Ordinarily, we create while lacking meaning, gratuitous spirits, echoing a whimpering quail, yet, we are bewildered by profound imagery and indescribable joy. Doubt arises in regards of each word's validity, bringing upon interrogation, scouting the way for infinitive journeys yet to be written.

Beware of Writers
Our wilier webs woven with the distractions of self-absorption can come to feel cheated if we use them only for halfhearted games of catch and eventual release. He’d overlooked that part. Then there was an obligation to prey who so willingly strayed upon the taffy pull of his sweet and sticky strands. The scrunch up of their wee faces squeaked, “We deserve to have our glued-down expectations met with a most gruesome expertise.” He’d just wanted to watch them struggle a smidge, at first. It was a test if this muscle the scribes ascribe as rightly plagued by pangs was in him perhaps despicably defective. With each tripper-by trapped the examinations grew more tortuously complex, and when none raised even the slightest murmur of a palpitation, he gave the web its dripped-dry due, at last. “The murderous truth will out,” they say. It did, monstrously. Now his bound but gagless masques are always well-attended.

Never underestimate the power of telling people what they want to hear
Eyes of brown Heart of gold Sending love I've been told. Across the waves between the vibes. Written on paper by the scribes. Affairs of love in history gone by. Lover's seduced by blink of eye. Romeo and Juliet. Cleopatra's Antony. Guinevere and Lancelot. And no less, you and me. Loved and lusted Sweet as wine. Stories told throughout time. Love goes on and on my dear. Open your heart, put away fear. For love's soft vision may well come. When unsuspected, heart strings thrum.

A Bit of Love
*My muse can be thought of as a curse for it comes at the most inopportune times but she also plays nice and brings me peace of mind* *My muse pounces on me to write Hit by the force of nature in nature The sound of crashing waves guide my hand Releasing words from my body* *My muse is like a lover She comes to me in dreams She teases, pleases then leaves* *Calliope my lover comes often She's never satisfied This temptress of the tablet* *Just think we could feel the warmth from the same sun Hear the same whispers in the breeze Wish upon the same fallen star and look up to the same majestic trees* *She connects all No matter the place Her sirens song on the wind for all Under the same night light constellations Wreathed in the fog under veiled trees scribbling* *She is a giver When allowed to live within us She gives a whole new view Bringing two poets together Even though there are miles in between She gives her heart and soul and the drive for us to dream* *Her gift is poetic eloquence Stirring within two Beautifully scribes new words New places to explore Distance means nothing to a muse She bestows everything she has to her chosen oracles* By Melissa S and Palmer
