Embodiment of Regret

Photomontage-Art-sharonlee - She Bringth

So this is a piece of failed art…  but I was still inspired to write…..

Embodiment of Regret

she bringth nightmares to your dreams

omens fall from her lips

heed not the tolling of her bell

or dripping whispers that insidiously hiss…

she’ll take your soul… and leave you empty

in broken wretched flesh

pleas are eaten by leprosy

at her every words caress…

don’t wait for the look of triumph in her eyes

she’ll trap you in a perpetual sigh

don’t linger long

 in her decaying presence

… this maiden will devour you alive…

sin-eater… maiden of remorse

mistress of deepest regret

she ‘ll keep your sorrows alive

so you will never forget…

don’t harken to her leeching touch

the souls of many she has sucked

she bringth nightmares to your days

and will consume your soul

…. if you don’t walk away….

Whispers in the Wisdom-Wind

Whispers in the Wisdom-Wind

Spirits of the ancients

wisdom-songs on the wind

vibrations shiver across the earth

they mourn what modern society brings…

whispers on the wisdom-wind

drift across this wondrous land

redirecting miss-spent energies

dispelled by the social order of man…

‘feel your roots’  the voices murmur

‘ they should be bonded with this earth

share knowledge with the children

teach them the value of their birth

spread the word of unity

far across this land

teach until you can speak no more

and pray that some will understand.’

Spirits of the ancients

wisdom-songs on the wind

singing fundamental knowledge

of  how we should live within

the Earth’s home grown bounty -

- can you hear the whispers on the wisdom-wind?

An Aquarian Exposition

An Aquarian Exposition

a grizzled crow sat on a barbed wire fence

looking at me

with one blinded eye…

in his beak he held a ticket

from 1969…

An Aquarian Exposition:

3 Days of Peace & Music

in the sun…

well I’ll be damned, I said to him

trying to see in his unblinded eye

a ticket to Woodstock

from 1969…

state the obvious, the old crow muttered

I thought you were an enlightened lass

if you’re not up to this

the ticket you shall pass…

I blinked at him a moment

my mind was racing like the wind

are you saying this ticket

will get me there And back again?

Only if you don’t lose it, the old crow said with a grin-

nothing to lose, are … you… in?

-I didn’t waste a heartbeat, I grinned and said ‘I’m In!’

**

I looked around at the faces

all gathered in the fire glow

‘and that’s how I got to be here

… and now you all know’

where’s the ticket now

one bedraggled youth asked

leaning in close to the fire-pit

I smiled at him and said

you know… I think I lost it……………………..

Woodstock was designed as a profit-making venture, aptly titled "Woodstock Ventures". It famously became a "free concert" only after it became obvious that the event was drawing hundreds of thousands more people than the organizers had prepared for. Tickets for the event cost $18 in advance and $24 at the gate for all three days. Around 186,000 tickets were sold before it was decided that due to massive numbers the concert would have to billed as free at the last moment.

Silly-Girl-Dreams-of-Yesterday

starshowers and moonbaths

and dances on the milky way –

wishes on the first star

- silly-girl-dreams of yesterday…

but now my dreams are grounded-

- a hand to hold as I grow old

a free spirit who  lives life

from the depth of his soul…

someone who’ll stand by my side

despite my eccentricities

walk mountain paths with me

and fly with the breeze…

a tender heart with a poets soul

… but a man of inner strength as well

gone are the silly-girl-dreams of yesterday

there are no truths that I won’t tell…

I’m getting old… it’s an honesty I face

but my tomorrows are far from end

I live my life as I do

but I’d rather share it with friend;
