When Last the Night is Gone – #LovePoetry
In Silence Standing, I Wait for You,
Immortal as Love itself, Dancing,
Trusting to my Faith to See
The Beauty of Your face, Entrancing.
In the Glimmer of New Morning,
Delicate as the New spun Dew,
My Love Each Morning Wakens Fresh,
Sparkling in the Promise of You.
In Patience Waiting, I Pray for You,
Indescribable as the Coming Dawn,
Hoping in all my Belief to Be
With You, When Last the Night is Gone.

Where Have The Giggles Gone? – A Look Back at #Booknvolume
BooknVolume, otherwise known at BnV, will be celebrating its TENTH Anniversary this year. Can you believe it? I surely can’t. But I thought it might be fun to take a look back over the next few months at some of my early blatherins…er, I mean posts, to see where it all began. I hope you’ll enjoy the reminiscing as much as I do 
Original posted August 19, 2013
A lot of BnV. Apparently.
245 posts. 245 posts!!??!! Inconceivable! (You keep using that word…) I must confess, when I struck out into the vast and unplumbed wilderness of blogdom for the first time, roughly 2 ½ months ago, I found it somewhat difficult to perceive that in so short a time my mind (frightening and bewildering as it sometimes may be!) would have/could have produced, spewed forth or otherwise concocted 245 separate offerings. (Well, admittedly, many are on a similar theme, but being generous, I know you will humour me and move on).
Why, you may ask, should this be so amazing for me to conceive (of) (although I know I should never end on a preposition)? Simple. Before launching/initiating/or otherwise starting this humble little blog, I had not written a single verse of poetry for years. Yes years! Lost to me were the intimate phrases, melodic undertones, and delicious allusions that now spiral through my thoughts morning, noon and night (whether I want them to or not!) In addition to this unfortunate calamity, most of my other writing had also gone flat/ lost its edge/ taken a back seat. To what, you wonderingly inquire? What could possibly silence the thunderous, echoing tympani of words that (now, once again) cascades through my mind, waking and sleeping?
Life. Plain and simple…though rarely either of those, to be sure. Certainly, you know how it is. Life comes along innocently enough, pushes to the forefront, steals the show and then leaves you looking around, bewildered, wondering what happened. Where did the magic go? Where are all the friends you had as a child? What happened to playfulness, silliness, triviality, imagination? Where did your giggles go? (OH to lose so priceless a treasure!)
Alas, me too. I wondered and searched for many a year, hoping to find where they were hiding, but never quite succeeding. Until at last, one day, only 2 ½ months ago, I ran into them without even looking for them. Isn’t that always how it is though? You never really find what it is you are seeking until you either stop looking or have entirely forgotten you were looking in the first place. (and no, this has nothing to do with age and the fragility of memory.)
Now, thanks to a lot of BnV (which sounds rather risqué, I agree, so please allow me to clarify), BooknVolume, or (for those of you who are sticklers for full names) The Book and Volume of This Distracted Globe (see, this is why I go with BnV!) (where was I?) oh yes, thanks to a lot of BnV, playfulness, silliness, triviality, imagination and I spend a lot more time together. We’ve also made some new friends: Frivolity, Joyfulness, and Mirth; who have introduced me to some cousins of theirs as well: romanticism, sanguinity, and intrepidity. In fact, this journey of words has been positively marvelous, for me. (though hopefully for you as well) (although if it weren’t for you as well, I doubt if you’d still be here reading)
Now I spend hours in front of my laptop (which sounds dull and drudgerous to be sure), spinning tales, curling phrases into music, painting pictures with vocabulary, sculpting dreams out of imagery; all of which makes me smile, laugh, dance for joy, shake my head, and, sometimes, even cover my face and cry (in wonder, don’t worry).
So what’s my point, you may ask, (with that perplexed look on your face (again))? I dunno, really, but I sure have found my giggles again!

Abundance – #PoetryforChange #PoetryChallenge
.
Where there is an Abundance of words
There is an Abundance of Love.
And where there is an Abundance of Love
There exists Endless Possibility.
Where there is a Profusion of Joy
There is a Profusion of Love.
And where there is Profusion of Love
Impossible becomes Reality.
Where there is a Single Grain of Faith
There exists Excesses of Love.
And where Excesses of Love Abide
Union fashions Tranquility.
.
In this world of darkness, violence, hatred and cruelty, remember that each grain of sand builds a beach; each flicker of a single candle restores Light, and a seemingly insubstantial act of kindness and love can Change The World.
Shine Brightly my friends! Love Boldly!
.
In this season of renewal and resolution, I invite you to JOIN ME in Creating Positive Change through poetry.

Indulgent Hour – #Passion, #Love & #Poetry
Smile into my Darkened Night,
Capture me with Caresses Slight,
Linger with me One Indulgent Hour,
Feeing Love’s Compelling Power.
Dance with me in Sweet Accord,
Move in Union, My Honeyed Lord,
Ruler of my Heart, Unrivaled,
Lover of my Soul, Unbridled.

Love’s Magnificent Wings – #Poetry of #Love, #Faith and #Spirituality
Love has Magnificent Wings
Spread Upon the Golden Sky,
Uplifting, Soaring, Dancing, Wheeling,
Into the Untested Heights.
Lilting like a Summer’s Tune,
Cresting mountain Splendor,
Gliding in the Streaming Light
On currents Subtle and Tender.
Transcending O’re the rocky Chasm,
Encompassing the Dark of Night,
Unswerving in Temptation’s Glaring,
Standing Loyal through the Night.

Upon Bended Knee- #Poetry of #Spirituality and #Faith
Upon this Bended Knee
I Smile with Unspeakable Elation,
For You have Blessed me so Vastly,
And My Heart Sings it’s Standing Ovation!
Upon this Bended Knee
I Weep with Tears of Pleasure,
For You Hand me my Heart’s Desire,
And I Stare, Transfixed, at the Astonishing Treasure!
Upon this Bended Knee,
I Close my Eyes with Love, Unending,
For You Delight in Giving me Heaven,
In all the Blessings You’re Continually Sending.
Upon this Bended Knee,
I Love with Heart, and Mind and Soul,
For You are Ever Near Me, Father,
Turning my One Gift into a Mighty Shoal.

In Your Love – #Poetry of #Spirituality and #Faith
In Your Love I stand Acquitted
of all I’ve foolishly Dreamed or Dared.
In Your Love I Walk Anointed,
Because You Smiled, Because You Cared.
In Your Love I Laugh, Delighted
By all You Give, Nothing held or Spared.
And In Your Love, We Live Rewarded,
Walking Together with All We’ve Shared.
~Morgan~.

Who Do You Write For? – #writing
Who do you write for?
At the end of the day, who is it that you are writing for? Striving for? Spending unnumbered hours bent over a keyboard for? Who are you pleasing the most with what it is your mind, heart and soul is creating?
Are you pandering to the masses? Are you spending hours researching the hottest topics, biggest stories, hippest themes to fashion your offerings after? Are you seeking acceptance on a national and even global scale? Do you find yourself striving after numbers, stats, and cumulative counts?
Do your posts, stories, poems, and pictures reflect something other than the passion in your soul? Are you worried about what someone else will think? Do you back peddle, rewrite, delete content, scrub the floors and blast out the windows of your house of cards in order to make it more palatable, more “publishable”?
Or are you committed to satisfying the longings of your heart? To share something of yourself? To speak into the darkness a light that is worth exploring, seeking after, even following? Do you open your heart, bare your soul, and let the pieces fall where they may?
Do you believe enough in your gift to utilize it responsibly, conscientiously, and fulfill a purpose you may never be aware of?
If you do, If you are, then you know the truest, richest joy there is, and one that is far more satisfying than any material or monetary recompense imaginable.
I hope you do
~Morgan~

One Set Apart – #LovePoems
Love,
Thou art Splendid Among Ten Thousand!
Gold, in Thy Presence tarnishes and fades!
Lost in Thy shadow are All the Treasures of the Earth,
Chaff and Chattel All they be!
Magnificent Thou Art, Oh My Most Beautiful Love;
As One Set Apart from All others,
Wondrous and Remarkable.
Breathtaking and Pleasing.
Grant, O Thou My Love,
That I may Ever Linger with Thee,
And Changeless Let my Love Be,
Ever Fixed to Thee.
~Morgan~

With Delirium – #Passionate #LovePoetry
Your Extraordinary gaze Pierces mine,
Our Hearts Pound in Perfected time.
No Words can Portray this Glorious Fire,
Breathing with You in Unified Desire.
Love is a whirlwind of Spiraling Obsession;
Delighting Two Souls in Eager Accession.
Placating nothing, Enticing each Sigh,
Moment by Moment, With Delirium Comply.
~Morgan~
