Friday Fantasy – The Gargoyle

Beneath the Silent Moonlight

Where Whispers Fall Unheard,

He waits in Mythic Silence

While Shadows Linger, Undeterred;

Watching in the Twilight

Where she walks in Sorrow Shade,

Haunted by the Memory

of Beguiling Mistakes she’s made;

Mute Testament to Tragedy,

Witness of Lament and Toil,

Unnoticed Secret Watcher,

Friendless, Faithful Gargoyle.

Friday Fantasy – The Dragon

She stands in Silence

‘Neath Eaves of Fragrant Balm,

Her Thoughts a tangle

Of chaotic Calm,

Stillness around her

In frenzy Waits

As others Conspire and

Devise her Fate.

Lost in the Shadows

Of Brazen Extravagance,

Beyond the Illusion of

Morality or Sense,

The Dragon Hovers

Awaiting her Chance,

Dreaming of Freedom,

And Tender Romance.

~Morgan~

Speechless

I had to take a moment out of my day to offer what seems to me to be an entirely insignificant, yet wholly Heartfelt THANK YOU!!!! Today I reached a milestone I truly never imagined when I began this blog a smidgen over 2 years ago. I want to express how astonished I still am, how BLESSED I feel and how Immensely, Enormously, Vastly I Appreciate each and every one of you, but how precisely does one express a sensation that is as close to inexpressible and unfathomable as I have ever experienced? Because Today, in spite of my abundantly verbose inclinations (or perhaps because of them) I not only surpassed 100,000 views, but tipped the scales to followers.

As I sit staring at the stats in mind-numbing silence, be Absolutely CERTAIN, YOU are the ones who have made this possible and I am entirely aware of it.

Thank You!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless You :)

Now…grab your pointy hat and noise-maker,

Mute

This Joy Stands Testament to what my Heart Feels,

To the Simple Truth that makes my Senses Reel,

Tumbling Over in the Stirring Calm,

Living Quietly as Treasured Balm,

Soft in the Silence its Voice is Heard

Speaking the Priceless, Unspoken Word;

The Word I can neither Deny nor Refute,

That Whispers from the Stillness of my Heart,

Though Mute.

Mirage

Shifting just Beyond Perception,

Dancing on the Viridian Light,

Collage of Thought and Fanciful Notion,

Mirage of Imagination’s Sight,

Whispers of Intangible Time,

Questing for Unspoken Rhyme.

Eternal Blue

Breath

As Deep and Sighing

As the Ocean Blue

Singing

In Liquescent Eternity

Like a Vast and Endless

Breath

Breathe

Wax and Wane

As the Tranquil Sea

Bringing

Life’s Renewal amidst

The rolling Breakers as they

Breathe

Sigh

Blue and Tranquil White

Rocking upon Eternal

Blue

Singing Sweetly Forevermore

As We Breathe a Deep and Lasting

Sigh

~Morgan~

Ecstasy Unfolds – A Collaboration

I hear Your voice,

Sweet, Alluring, Delicious;

And My body quivers,

a Willow in November wind;

I have no choice.

I hear You breathe,

Hushed and Rhythmic, Unconscious Seduction;

And My lips tremble,

betraying the Sweet Obsession

that lies underneath.

I feel Your Guile

Measured, Purposeful, Deliberate Plea;

And My eyes close,

Pulse Races and Reticence Scatters;

I see You Smile

As Ecstasy Unfolds.

This poem is the continuation of a collaboration Kim of Peace, Love and Patchouli blog found at https://zipsrid.wordpress.com and I are working on. The idea may sound convoluted, but its a test of Inspiration and prompts. I Sent her the artwork and title for the poem Deliberate, found below, and she had to come up with the verse. Then, she sent me the beautiful image above and the title for the next poem which I had to write (Clandestine). Round and round we go (until we get bored or find a perfect stopping point, whichever comes first!) If you haven’t read her Beautiful poetry before, I strongly recommend visiting her blog, filled with the most lyrical phrases, delicate verses, profound notions wrapped in ethereal prose and lovely photography and artwork. This is what drew me in when I first met Zippy, as I call her (derived from the Infinite Zip screen name she uses) and what keeps me coming back for more and more and more. I hope you enjoy our extended collaboration. More to follow, week to week, as we continue to test and inspire each other. Fine our previous poems below…

Eyes that smolder, drawing you in

the teasing smile like a sensual sin

she gazes through, lights your soul on fire

as your thoughts burn like a funeral pyre,

her skin so smooth, so silky light

and you want it so much, this lovely delight.

Her words capture you, a sweet southern drawl

on hands and knees you’d surely crawl

to touch this maidens soft pale skin

your fingers run down as you begin

to trace her back like a delicate dance

lost in the moment of this romance.

Beguiling words to quench your thirst

for lust and life she will come first

to weave her magic on a poor souls heart

you never want to be swept apart

this wild hearted woman with a wanton need

will claim your soul, on this she’ll feed

and take you to the dream you crave

for her you’d be her beckoned slave.

She is the master of such desire

a sultry mistress you’ll never tire

as she leads you to her chamber door,

Oh God, you think…I must have more.

~Kim of Peace, Love and Patchouli~

Awake amidst the Morning’s shimmer,

Glimmer Smiling upon your Skin,

Begin the day with Love Beguiling,

Smiling to know the quandary we’re in!

Beyond the Whispers, Silent as Prose,

Rose Red Morning lifts her Gaze,

Haze of Passion Softly Singing,

Bringing Mischief to these weary Days!

Oh My Love, Before you Leave me,

Be my All one Moment More,

Implore from me my Heart’s Desire,

Fire Kissing a Boundless Shore!

Clandestine Love, Immortal Treasure,

Amidst stolen Moments of Exquisite Pleasure!

~Morgan~

You come to me

Deliberate and gentle

In my weakest moment

You gather me close

Skin touching skin

Please, let us begin.

Passion fills the air around

Touch me now,

Don’t let me down

I am filled

My cup overflowing

You are all I desire,

With you my soul is on fire

As we are love inspiring

Take me now,

One more time.

~Kim of Peace, Love and Patchouli~
