A bardic duet with Neil
@Banquozghost:
Call suffering
by another name
the scars I bear
will be the same
my tears will be
a river or the rain
my broken heart
will still know pain
@MercurialNight:
Within a crucible of pain
Shall your soul be born anew
A spirit once bowed
Unfolds
To spread wings wide
& rise again with hope
@Banquozghost:
O lift me, lift me up
sweet cloud of hope on high
I spurn the drag
of wretched earth
and soar to meet
the roof of sky
@MercurialNight:
O wretched land which birthed you then
Shall not its grip upon you loosen
None of man has she ever lost
None of man shall she
@Banquozghost:
Ah, sweet earth
that calls us all to rest.
Not yet, not yet!
Another stanza first
and this one shall be best!
@MercurialNight:
Such eloquence deserves a chance
To breathe again
To live
To dance
Just a moment more
Among the heavens
Afore I'm lost again
The opening of this addition,
"Call suffering
by another name
the scars I bear
will be the same
my tears will be
a river or the rain
my broken heart
will still know pain"
Is beautiful! I also love the closing as well.
I am glad inspiration hit you again, I really enjoyed this one too!
Beautiful words dear lady, heartfelt words carry you tall, with never a worry as to fall. I have the not read the rest on the pages, but I am sure to do. Thank you dear for sharing your heart with me.
Moonlight whimsy - a duet with Neil
And there I rest
Gazing upon the moon
So far away
Out of reach
Yet with just one thought
So shall I perch upon her beam
Lifted up to Selene's domain
past compass of the mortal sea
to freedom of the human mind
not so entwined with vain humanity
My earthbound form
Enchained to this wandering sphere
Shall not my soul's flight prevent
As she soars free to roam the heavens
Drift, sailor,
on the tides of Jove
as he plays the destiny of planets
for a game of draughts.
Where next?
Fate my helmsman
The Fates do mock our poor endeavours
In futile purpose do I drift on cosmic tides
A mere toy beneath their cruel intent
So vain gods
doff the masks
simulacra of concern
to reveal contemptuous
curling lips
wild eyes
the reign of cruel children
Absolve my frail humanity
I am their humble servant
My vanity blinded me
Deafened my ears
My foolish wish
No more than a dream
Such beauty in those words, lady Winterstale!
Your duets are wonderful and I truly find peace when reading them
Thank you...
your supporting words are much appreciated, thank you
You are welcome, lady Winters Tale.
Thank you so much for sharing these with all of us
These images do not match the beauty of your words, lady WintersTale
But I hope you like them anyway
I wanted to share another beautiful image with a beautiful thread.
I hope you have a wonderful Friday, lady WintersTale!
magnificent images lady J.
Poetic musings from the week:
My ears beg sound
But Taking a deep breath
You try to spare me the pain
And By a slip of tongue
You instigate injustice for all
Xxxxxx
Shedding my fears
Sensing each fall away
Dissolving
Disappearing
Hope & belief
My newly fitted apparel
To keep the demons at bay
Xxxxxxx
Unleash my passion
Let it roam wild
Without boundaries
Restraints are condemned
Outlawed
Here I am
Are you brave enough to take?
Xxxx
Each day I arrive
To stand and stare through locked rusty gates
One day you shall let me in
xxxxx
This Memory's Curse 2 always relive
The day angels cried out
Your Painful Presence almost draws blood
But My Dry eyes barely blink
Xxxxxx
Stumbling weary across a field
Death still stalking my steps
A golden crown now in my grasp
Cold comfort to those now dead
xxxxxx
Flesh to flesh
Soul to soul
Moving into you
We merge
We burn
We are consumed
The flame of passion
Too hot
Too strong
❤️
Xxxxxxxx
In what rash alternative universe
In what moment of delirium
Could Man ever have thought to contain all evils within a box?
xxxxx
Quaffing bottled courage
Upon these shrouded steps
Amongst my many secret sins
Including banned affection
Beneath this vulgar rule
Xxxxxx
At one with the universe
In perfect balance
Harmonising with nature herself
Drifting with the ebb and flow
Of dragon tears
Xxxx
Jenny, your images are beautiful
🌺❤️
Musings today:
There stands a pool
Within a glade
Where still waters
Lie clear and chill
Take just one
Sip of the divine
And eternity is yours
xxx
Slow creeping tendrils of icy inquisition
Drag their frosty way along my rippling spine
Which flinches in chilly fruitless evasion
Xxxxx
With a wicked smile
That's all it took
To draw me under your spell
Mentor me in the ways of
Everything I ever thought impossible
xxxxx
Slide of leather
Rasp of zip
With a ride this sweet
Let's take a trip
Chart my desire
On my lost highway
I am glad you like them
You have shared some beautiful new prose. I love them!
