Click hereOh, it's just little me
bending spoons over here,
just a little suspension
of disbelief,
weaving aloud
in hi-fi 3D.
Tossing offhand spells,
tossing coins in wells,
breaking humbly free,
quietly.
Not for show, just for me,
like the hovering
bumblebee,
a kite adrift
on jet streams
and anchorless dreams.
So don't you mind
my flimsy way
of spirit seeking,
flower speaking
thoughts astray,
through the looking glass
and far, far away.
Don't let
a little tryout of thesis
and my telekinesis
disturb your circles.
Let me tinker
on my own over here
for tonight
with my healing hands
and my x-ray sight.
I mean you no harm,
and however I might
I could neither destroy
nor defile anything
with this wandering soul
but my own paradise
and your sense of control.
Levitating white lies,
mayflies of faith,
flicker through fantasies
here at my folded knees
patiently humming
the rhythm of trees.
Come sit for a while,
play an hour with me.
Dance candle flames
from fingertips,
moonlight
on your parted lips.
Believe,
or kindly
let me be.

YDDabout 20 years agoYour words:
"Levitating white lies,
mayflies of faith,
flicker through fantasies
here at my folded knees
patiently humming
the rhythm of trees."
create one of the most internally complete and satisfying stanzas that I have read in quite some time. The others aren't bad either!
Liarabout 20 years agoThis poem is stacked with so many quiet little wonders that I almost forgot what it is really about. At least what I think it is about...
My favourite line must be "mayflies of faith".
Bra.
Vo.
Shuvaniabout 20 years agoI totally love 'Quiet in a Corner', and I am going to be keeping an eye out for anything new you write, as well as reading all that you have posted. I adore your style, very cool.
Brightest of Blessings,

Maria2394about 20 years agoit was great in the passion thread, but this completes, seems so very Wiccan, I love it!!!
the rhyme is excellent, the subject matter is different that what we usually see on here and your images, well, I can just see you in that corner bending your spoons ;)
Syndra Lynnabout 20 years agobest poem I have read in some time. Full Moon ritual all the way. I love it!
