Your Voice- #Poetry of #Faith and #Spirituality

When the Hush of evening Settles,
Like Stillness all around;
Then my heart Perceives Your Voice,
When there is not Another Sound.

When Gentle zephyrs Whisper,
Like Your Voice, Sweet and Soft;
Then my eyes are Lifted Heavenward,
To where You Reign, Aloft.

Yet When the Peace of nighttide Crashes
At my feet, like shattered glass;
Then my Spirit Knows Your Voice,
And Understands Your Love, At Last.

Blissful Romance- #LovePoems

Take my Hand,
Come with Me,
Into the Night,
Sublime and Free;
Courting Passion,
Whisper Desire,
Speak, My Love,
Ignite this Fire;
Gaze Deeply
Into my Eyes,
Feel the Shudders,
Hear my Sighs;
All else is Lost
When You are Here;
Blissful Romance,
When You Draw Near.

The Darkling Sea – #LovePoems

The Challenge of the Breaking Day
Upon my Love is guileless,
For when the Daylight fades away,
The Moon falls Whispering and Sightless.

Cresting River of Passion Flowing,
Beats in my Heart like Symphony;
Like the Verdant fields, Lush Growing,
Singing Psalms of Litany.

Open then my Dreams like Treasures,
Close Your Eyes and Sigh With Me;
Upon this Ship of Shifting Pleasure,
Rocking On the Darkling Sea.

Reserved for You- 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 11, 2013

When all the world is closing in and fear and doubt hang like rhapsody in enigmatic terror, life becomes a whirlwind that can easily lead you, twisting and turning, down the wrong alleyways; stumbling into darkness even before realizing. Labyrinth of confusion; darkness leading into darkness, grasping and pulling at your legs, tripping you, entwining you, making you stumble, making you fall. Uncertainty follows close on confusion’s heels, making each step more baffling than the last, as you try to see in the dimness, seeking a way out, but paradoxical conundrum leads down unfamiliar avenues and before you realize your mistake, you find yourself entirely lost.

Alone in the murk of restive passages and upon unhallowed ground, you creep in bitter incongruity; as the enemy closes in on all sides, taunting. Two choices face you blatantly: Hide yourself in the unsavory undergrowth or call out to Me. Villains clamor on both sides, seeking exploitation of rash imprudence, derision sharp and caustic, yet tempting intrepidity calls from the shadowy wilderness, harkening to your brazen boldness until you follow.

Lavish wonders, full of blasphemy; delicious alchemy, wrought with irreverence, toying with your immortal spirit, tattering robes of golden silk spun for you alone as Hades breathes contagion. Willing transgression, mortal suffering breeds contempt and blame, worse than any torture, more bitter than arsenic. Worthless, reckless, piteous fool; unfit, ungrateful, and filled with greed, O listen not to your own accusing! Filled with deceit your condemnation is, standing against My every desire to Draw you close, to Lift you up out of the pit of despair into which you’ve fallen, blocking every Loving Blessing I long with all My Heart to Bestow.

Turn not aside from Me in sorrow or in guilt. Look not into the darkness seeking sanctuary when I stand waiting, Arms Outstretched, to Hold you, to Heal you, to Restore you. This may blighted perplexity seem to tarnished thought and clouded sight; yet in your sorrow, lift your head and see Me standing ever near. No change required; no costly alteration needed; no sacrifice too vast to bear, for I have already Given All that is necessary.

All I ask of you is this: Love Me. Trust Me. Walk with Me one single mile and Let Me show you all the Blessings and Bounty I hold reserved for you alone.

Love Blossoms,

Touches,

Reaches,

And Transforms Forever,

In Solitude. Alone.

The Empress- Dreaming of #Vacations

My Absolute favourite Bed and Breakfast Inn in Cape May, New Jersey. I tried my best to capture its beauty and charm, but as lovely as these pictures are, nothing beats seeing it in person.

A Cry for Harmony- #PoetryforChange #PoetryChallenge

Peace is a Single Word,

Far more Powerful than any Sword,

That Touches Hearts and Minds and Souls,

Unity,

Harmony,

It’s Only Goal.

Will You Perceive?

Will You Receive?

Or Stand Against it and Willingly Deceive?

Ode to Boredom- #Poetry for Sanity

Clear Blue Sky
Through Crystal Pane,
Viridian Landscape
Driving me Insane.
Locked inside,
Florescent Lights, A/C,
When Walking Outside
Is Where I want to Be.

Ceaseless Chatter,
Sitting Endlessly Prone,
Listen to others
Bewail and Moan.
Longing for Sunlight,
and the Kiss of Light Breezes,
Stuck in the Office
While Nature Tantilizingly Teases.

~Morgan~

Love’s Potion- #LovePoems

When Starlight fell and Kissed Your Face,
I Watched Bewitched, Beguiled;
Enchanted by Your every Word,
Struck Speechless When You Smiled.

Each Step You Take, Intoxicates,
Transcending Mere Devotion;
Each Glance of Your Astounding Gaze
As Deep as any Ocean.

Your Hands, Exquisite Oeuvre,
Seduction’s Dance, Your every Motion,
Your Voice, Entrancing as the Night,
Like a Spell, You Are Love’s Potion.

~Morgan~
