Fragrant – #Poetry A-Z

Sweet and Verdant

Lush and Pure

Hint of blossom Kissing

Warm Balm Lingering

Lusty breeze Caressing

Delicate Light Radiating

Suggestion of spice in Earthen Tones

Wood and Leaf,

Noble Splendour

Breathe Deep;

Then Deeper Still

The Intoxicating Fragrance

Mesmerizing my senses!

The Song of the Leaves – #Poetry of the #NaturalWorld

.

The Song of the Leaves

Whispers in soft Suspirations

Exhalations

Delicately deciduous

 

Everlastingly evergreen

Proud pine Pointing Ever

To the Heart of Softly Spoken Shades

Lingering shadow of Verdant Blush

Tantric Sighs

Expansive and Lush

As each one Sings

In an Unspoken haze

Lilting Enchantment of Elder Days.

.

Calm, Beloved – #RomanticTuesday #Love #Poetry

.

Calm Beloved,

Sleep Enrapture thee,

Whisper deep

In this Loving Dream,

Close within

Our Enchanted embrace,

Beyond Time,

Before Chance,

Purest Heartbeat of place.

Calm, Beloved,

Sigh Soft and Sure,

Remember, A-slumber,

Together Ever More;

Arms entwined

And Hearts Unified,

As the Heavens Smile

And Midnight Sighed!

Calm, Beloved,

Passionate and Tender,

Always,

You,

I Ever Remember.

#MusicandMuseMonday – Do You Remember – #poetry and #music

.

Do you Remember

The Hush of all Life;

The Immortal Splendour

Before the strife?

.

Do you Recall

The Tranquility

Of Timelessness Spinning

In Infinity?

.

Do you Remember

The Whispers Unspoken;

The Delicate Thread of Majesty,

Now irrevocably broken?

.

Will you Return

To the Hush and the Calm,

Or linger in the calamity

With daggers for balm?

.

Will you Open

Mind, Heart and Spirit,

Remember the Litany

Or be afraid

To Hear It?

.

#MusicandMuseMonday – Unobserved Paradigm – #poetry and #Music

.

Delicate and Strong,

Forgotten, not wrong,

Where all the words Transpose,

Where the Heart truly Knows;

Singing in Reverie,

Silence Transpiring,

Whispering sweetly of Unspoken lore,

Dancing in the Memory of Forevermore.

Listen in moments of Unhurried Pause,

Waiting,

Lingering,

Amidst the Eternal Cause

Of all that is and was, Once More

Entreating the Heart,

Quietly to Implore;

Wake!

Surrender!

Remember the days

Of Lush Tranquility among

The Sunsetting haze

Of Diligence and Creed,

Timelessly Dancing;

Taking Your Hand,

Ever Romancing;

Slip into Step,

Step Into Rhyme

Of All Once Remembered,

The Now unobserved  Paradigm.

The Meaning Behind The Fantasy

.

Many have asked me to explain to them what Dark Fey is about and how it was inspired.  The original inspiration for the story came to me through a vivid dream, which I could not stop thinking about days afterward.  As I thought about it, the characters stepped out of the shadows of the dream and demanded my full attention, so I finally sat down and wrote out the entire scene as I saw it in my mind, which is now Chapter Six of The Reviled.(which you can preview in its entirety here)

The story of Dark Fey is set in a Fantasy Realm of my own creation, but the message is relative to our own reality.  That The Power of Hope, Acceptance and Forgiveness can change the world, if you take Positive Action to Create Change through doing what is Right.  Or you might say:  The only way to achieve Peace is to become Peace.  This message came partially as a result of learning about the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) in Uganda, where militant rebels have been abducting children for over 20 years, integrating them into their army through abuse and cruelty, and forcing them to endure lives of violence.  I was moved to my very spirit by such a horrifying truth and chose this medium to share a similar story. However, unlike our own reality where this atrocity continues even today, the Fey of Jyndari choose to change their world by taking Positive Action through Sacrifice, Acceptance and Forgiveness.

The “Brutally Beautiful” story is nail-biting and suspenseful; lush and lyrical; spiritual, yet powerfully relevant.  Beneath the drama; behind the romance; and perhaps in spite of the darkness it contains, Dark Fey shares a message of Hope for the seemingly hopeless.

It is my Hope to be able to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sales of Dark Fey to UNICEF’s work in Uganda where they actively rehabilitate the children affected by the LRA.

.I hope this may convey some insight to the story for any who many be curious.

Passage – Soul Mates – #FlashFiction

.

His senses spun; his heart hammered; he was irresistibly drawn to her.  She no longer whispered, but he could hear her still; the beguiling sound of that which made her exquisitely her resounded within him.

Unconcerned about the watching star-beings, who no longer laughed, but shimmered their light as if smiling, he stepped forward and gazed down into her upturned face.  Drinking in the soft blush of her cheek, the delicate smile turning her lips, and the lush glimmer in her eyes, he reached to touch her and, with that contact, his heart blazed with passionate yearning.

He Remembered Her.

.

The End.

A Temporary Truce — Richard M. Ankers

I fear this sanity, This temporary truce, For the dark pulses, I feel its gravity. The gap between closes, A steadying hand falls, Reality shatters In bursts of obsidian; They cut me, Cut me deep. I bleed in midnight And shatter in still. Unsettled, I wait. I fear this sanity.

via A Temporary Truce — Richard M. Ankers
