But I don't care, it does not matter,
A soul like Ophelia where can I find
Selfless love, sincere, caring and kind,
Always willing to give without expectation,
Without a frown, without hesitation,
Having the best she was ready to be,
Just for me and only me.
The crab without a claw clutches my toe
I feel the gnawing pain but don't show,
How I am rent apart by Adam's last seeds
How I am entangled between unseen weeds.

D
The song in my throat still waiting to sing
And the love in my heart a fluttering wing
A rapture thats quivering within my soul
That mysterious love that captures and holds.

E
The song in your throat is Orpheus' lute,
You strive to sing a forgotten note,
The rapture that quivers within your soul
Will it ever lead you to your destined goal?
Why do you battle and question your conscience?
Love needs no proof, it is ever radiant...

D
In the deep of this pit a smoldering burns
An ember memory of the pure love that I yearn.

E
Why do you shake and shiver when love has been found,
Does anything else matter? Waves, light our sound
The ember memory of that love which you yearn,
How can you find it in this superficial world,
Or are you striving to capture a stone you hurled?

D
Thousands of waves have tumbled the seas
It's but love does shake when I try to break free

E
I stand and challenge the tidal wave
Be like me, why can't you be brave,
How can love shake your feet, tell me how,
When it strengthens everything, from below and above?

D
I have found love a yoke, reins and a tether
And am yet searching for love like a feather..

E
Or is it a parched fragment that you clutch,
Love stands on its own, does not need a crutch,
The open sea is a contest for you and me,
Let us be like Prometheus, let us be free

D
I know love's something that touches ever so light
That will never hold me or grab me too tight...

E
Oh, ask the moth that crashes and dies
In its quest for the flame queen loses his lives
In the morning both the moth and the flame are gone
One achieves eternity, the other forlorn.
Let me tell you a secret of all hearts that love,
They want nothing but a hope and a vow,
Beyond selfishness is their treasure-filled realm,
Beyond ifs and buts and how and when.

D
It was those ties that bound me quite tight and confound
Gave to my need for love, no limits or bounds…

(38) EMBER OF MEMORY-II



Emmenay (E) begins stanzas, Deborah Russell (D) replies:

E
What you need, I know and know where it exists
But are you ready to swim beyond the boats and ships
Are you ready to stay submerged in cold water
Caring not what happens if only love matters?

D
I am starting to grow with feathers anew
And wings of the heart yet known by so few
These tears that I weep are not for my sins
But all the false hope and love I've been in.

E
I have lost true love after finding it
But to this day I long for that wee bit
Of the grand treasure that was only mine
And believe me I haven't seen sunshine.
The road's long with sharp turns and bends
Not even a stranger a hand he would lend.
Everybody offers me a shaking palm
But nobody I found with a soothing balm,
My messiah has left me and I am weary,
Pulling a cart overloaded and heavy.
Why search for strangers, aren't there so many?
In this world of deceivers, can't you see them lady,
Let me return to the place where she comes...

D
So many times I have been led to believe
That love is something that never deceives
But love's notion betrayed me, as I did myself
And the heart did not matter on this dusty shelf
I've seen blue eyes that shined in the night,
True, I felt that this was love pure and right.

E
Before we say farewell, tell me, please tell me
How will you recognise the swallow of glee,
How will you know that you are set free?
These secrets of the heart that you share with me?

D
In wake of this I am left with a soul still quaking
And wait still for the love light un-forsaking

E
Give me a clue to rewrite destiny
But a fearfilled dove cannot fly high,
To overcome dragons...
One must be mighty -

D
The strength that is needed I've never known
This love that I've sought was a meatless bone
So how will i know when true love arrives?
Or perhaps just another long lost love alibi?

E
The heart that is pure sifts truth from lies
And true love does not need alibis,
Like the song sung by the nightingale for the rose,
It is a truth in itself which a loving heart knows.

D
My vision is yet on the distant horizon
And think it the sword and the light of Orion -

E
Why confine your vision to the Hunter or the hunted,
Why not broaden your scope like a rapier unblunted,
Like fresh sprouting spring gushing from hard rocks,
Providing you with happiness which you now seek in clocks.

D
Love's a fate and left to the grand sea of stars
And moon's the deterent from Jupiter and Mars.
It's love's infinity for which i still seek
To me, universal beauty the cosmos do speak

E
The heart is the best creation of all
It glows when love's light on it falls
It is God's home, trust Him as your Guide
And true love will one day be by your side.
In my heart are many universes found,
I reveal them one by one in pen and in rhyme,
It is true love that makes me go on,
Otherwise I too am dead, I am gone.

D
If God is the ruler of my lowly kingdom of heart
Why do comets burn out, the stars break a part?
Where is this planet from which I evolved?
Where is that sun and the moon that revolves?

E
What you see must never make you believe,
Sometimes falsehood with its guile does deceive,
God made everything and filled all hearts with love,
It is by going astray that we have been thrown from above.
Everything exists in your heart and in you...
You are the evolver and you are the evolved,
The best of creations, look deep inside,
In you does He live, in you He resides.

D
The tides that have moved me were but lunacy
The waves that washed me, a treacherous sea
Shall I stand gazing a the vast darkness above
Or seek within me this universe of love?

E
When you reach out to help a soul that is down,
It is love that makes you look beyond your own,
It is love that makes you smile tenderly
Even though you know most are false and greedy.
You have the sight to discern all within and without,
When you yourself are kind and caring, why doubt?
Can't there be somebody made the way that you are,
Try to find who that soul is, whether nearby or far.
And a word more from one who is talking,
It is those who seek that sometimes fall,
It is only the true souls who undergo the pain,
To find the truth of an eternal flame.
The lame and the strong cannot compare,
Only those who fall and rise can ever dare...

D
If all that I seek ever within me presides
I shall have strength to calm seas and the tide
To hit back with courage at those who defy,
And with true love, vanquish every lie.

(39) LOVE’S EMBRACE



Black shadows listen,
To golden songs of sunset,
As earth and water embrace.

******************************

(40) EMPTY (Collaboration with four poets).



Emmenay:

Empty night,
Like my lonely heart,
And the dark, empty bedroom.

'Poeticpiers:

Vacant space,
Is filled by sadness,
She is gone.

Emmenay responds:

Eerie forms,
Fill the void,
Increasing my gloom.

Beki Lynn adds:

Despite intentions,
To forget and move on -
Memory lingers

'RedStormy' joins in:

Soul aches,
The sun refuses to shine,
Life is a blur.

'Soulsease' also joins in:

Yet...each moment brings,
Aworld of new beginnings...
Time to face the dawn...

Emmenay asks:

Dawn has come?
Where, O friend,
Where is light?


Beki Lynn, Poeticpiers, RedStormy and Soulsease are fellow poets whose work can be read at http://www.haikuhut.net managed by another
