vase of sighs song
nape rapture strum
know my octobers
as your lotus
with knee bare seija

I bring the rice paper
as token to dew
kata dance afterglow
let me surround the pale
and window your reflection

on teak with wax sooth
whisper my eyes
with your saliva
and offer a pearl
to the dragon tongue

the koto knows wind
when shears are strummed
and a hollow song
sheaths the bow staff
with wounded worship

shadows seek your ki

scribblenote; rice paper is so very shear it clings to even the thought of moisture...it alters it shape and then is something new in celebration.....seija is a sitting position used to honor and to be honored...kata is a series of forms that makes the skin damp when performed with the proper ki..(key) which is heart..or life force happening..saliva is ladytalk for spit

Stirring poetry here, Dark. Like breathing in a breath of you. Love the scribble notes too - tee hee - the last made me laugh!

Good morning -

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

the candleflame burns
filtering light through two crystal glasses
the colors are beautiful
Music soft touches
with poeme fragrence in the air
in holy bond of eyes whispering
silent hellos

knowing strangers smile
realizing bond
of a long ago romance
which washes time
tenders moments
into a circle wind
