Heartbeat of my Heartbeat

Soul of my Soul

Breath of my Breath

Life of my Very Life

Long Parted in the veiled Night,

Waiting in Breathless Sorrow,

Yearning for Your Heart to Remember,

For your Gaze to Linger

Once again in Mine;

Weeping for All we Long ago Shared,

Watching the Midnight hours Pass,

Waiting for Jocund day to Rise

Unto Gladsome Carols

When Once More

My Love Shall Be

All to Thee,

And Thee to Me!

BnV in Review – Symbiosis

.

Symbiosis is defined as the living together of two dissimilar organisms in more or less intimate association or close union OR the intimate dwelling together of two dissimilar organisms in a mutually beneficial relationship.

Following this logic (and I freely confess, logic is not my characteristic realm, but humour me if you will…)

The Writer is the expression of all that thought can encompass, filled with mercurial logic, enigmatic philosophies and depths of emotion, but who is limited to communicate these notions through words alone, either provocative or faint; painting them upon a blank and impassive canvas and, in consequence of this action, turning the vastness of that barren expanse into the hallowed ground upon which strides the Actor.

The Actor is the expression of all that words relate; a versatile coalescence of emotion, intensity, purpose, passion, and the terrifying calm of a silent stare; the voice of otherwise silent pawns awaiting articulation; the instrument through which the pen itself speaks to the listener’s ear.

Are these twain one symbiotic spirit conjoined in truth? Creativity locked in an inexorable union; one fully reliant upon the other; neither able to fulfill their true function exclusive of the other; neither capable of savouring the purest form of bliss in the absence of the other?

Are they to be likened to the Telepath and the Empath, forever joined, yet never joining? If there were no written words to speak, what soliloquy might the Actor enact? If there was no Actor to infuse each word with life, to engender the sentiments found in the heart and soul of the Writer, how then might these words be perceived?

The Writer is the Telepath, hearing the words that long to be spoken; words that The Actor longs to portray. Hearing these unspoken longings longing to be spoken, The Writer shapes complications of guise and purgatories of ruse; conjures dichotomy of place and time, weaves tapestries out of characters and charisma into which The Actor may immerse himself.

The Actor, then, is the Empath, sensing the longings longing to be expressed; filling each aloof word set upon the cold page with emotion; communicating through sight and sound all The Writer endeavors to express; bridging the gap between the black and white, and the heart-wrenching, spirit-tugging, fury-filled, gentle guise and sweet seduction of those penned pawns; transforming them into the condition that instills tears and sighs, laughter, anger and perfect dread!

Therefore, are the two Truly One? The Actor and Writer, The Empath and The Telepath, One Interdependent Creative Desire born out of the inescapable longing of the Heart, of the Spirit, to Express and to be Understood?

Does The Actor long to Enact what The Writer writes in order to portray what the Actor might otherwise never actually speak? Does the Writer long to write what it is The Actor can portray so that The Writer might see and hear and feel what it is that he cannot enact alone?

My mind spins, but my heart understands….

Jesus You’re Amazing (#GuestBlogger)

Jesus you’re amazing

You’re everything to me

I was dying in my sin

And then you rescued me

Jesus you’re amazing

You’re more than life to me

When I gave my life to you

You met my deepest need

My need was not for riches

Or for power or for fame

My need was not possessions

Or for fleshly gain

My desperate need was cleansing

Deep down into my soul

And when I gave my life to you

You made me whole

You gave me peace I’d never known

And joy unspeakable

You gave me faith that truly works

And grace unmatchable

You gave forgiveness for my sin

And mercy not deserved

You gave your life so I could live

You taught me how to serve

Jesus you’re amazing

You’re everything to me

I was dying in my sin

And then you rescued me

Jesus you’re amazing

You’re more than life to me

When I gave my life to you

You met my deepest need

BnV in Review – Drape

Drape

Of Silence

In the Rush

Whispering

Drape

Of Mesmerizing Hush

Drape

Of softness

Delicate of Hue

Tantalizing

Enchanting

Breathless view

Drape

Of All

I Long to See

Drape

My Mind

Until I am Free!

Eyes of Marble Angels

Press your pen against your temple,

poised above the pages,

hang your heart out with the Gods,

meadow larks, mountains, and seas.

Give birth to ruins existing inside

where the deepest and darkest hide.

Let the falls flood your fears

and foam the roman fountains

into the  eyes of marble angels

across the turquoise ocean

beneath your golden palm.

Wipe grains of sand from

your vinho verde eyes.

Place your pen into the indigo and rest.

BnV in Review – You They Desire

.

You are You

Yet You are not You;

Only the you they All know as you

As Long as You are the you they Desire;

Yet

Do You long to be You,

Truly You;

The You they will never know

As long as You are forced to be the you they Desire,

and not the You not living

a Liar,

Oh

How Long

Must You be the you they Desire

And not the You that sets my Heart

Afire?

Hope & Grace (#Guest Blogger)

©Sharon Knight

When I rest in Him, employ His eyes

There remains no human I despise.

We are all His flesh; we are jars of His clay

Shaped and made to display

God’s full hope and grace; God’s hope and grace.

 

Though we may use words to slight and shame,

Underneath we are flesh, blood and frame.

We are born with tongues to accept and uplift

Endowed from Him a gift:

God’s full hope and grace; God’s hope and grace.

 

As we look outside ourselves this morn’

Can we see all those who too were born

As branches of the selfsame tree, bearing fruit?

Our hearts cannot dispute

God’s full hope and grace; God’s hope and grace.

 

This hope and grace, and yes His love

Set gently down from His heart above

Like starlings alight on each branch of a tree.

A weightless yoke, humbly

God’s full hope and grace; God’s hope and grace.

 

Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Put My yoke upon your shoulders—it might appear heavy at first, but it is perfectly fitted to your curves. Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. When you are yoked to Me, your weary souls will find rest. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)

Thank you to Sharon Knight at SunEarthSky for allowing me to share her beautiful photograph, starlings roosting in a tree.

BnV In Review – Breath Beguile Sonnet 38

.

Breath Beguile the Wordless Thought

Of All I Fear to Never Say,

While Heart, unfettered, Sighs and Stops,

Kneeling in Spirit, Long to Pray.

Beguiled of Art, These Charms you employ,

Sweet Supposition of guilty Pleasure,

But Standing Mute, as Others Enjoy,

Breaking Heart, which Longs for Treasure!

Treasure as Pure as Passing Fair,

Expressed in Sighs, Profound and Long,

Betray How Greatly One Heart Might Care,

Singing together, One Harmonious Song.

Breath Beguile this Unspoken Thought,

Beguiled I Breathe, Uncaptured, yet Caught!

BnV in Review – Remembrance

.

Reaching Across the distant shores,

Bending to inaccessible Stars,

Hours Shifting,

Sands Sifting,

Through Immutable Scars;

Memory Lying Fallow,

Shards of Bleak Time,

Harbinger of discord,

Perspective of Rhyme,

Singing sweetly in the Intrinsic Hush,

Ever Listening,

Ever Waiting,

Desolate And Lush!

.
