The purple at dusk
12 November 2016
Square circles
Blend in my footsteps
The suns rise
In winters
When the tides set in rivers
Knocking at my door
They were four
Liquid symphonies
They rode on
Beyond breeze
Their breath and fire lit trees
Pathways of cinder
Water came
Flowed into broiled game
We knew not
How to tame
Raging of fire and flow
The split and splinter
Shards of rain
Swept away masses
Needle’s eye
Forgave not
The slightest remnant of thought
Borne within the fear
Bask in pain
Sunlight reminder
When we wake
To mistake
Morrows shadow our past tense
Wickers of pretense
The woods lie
Down by the river
Where the hearts
Still quiver
Sound of music invading
The purple at dusk
Reading of the poem:
Soul of the Tango Sur Regreso Al Amor – Yo Yo Ma
stunning photo that accompanied this really nice write. I particularly enjoyed:
“Morrows shadow our past tense
Wickers of pretense”
Write On!

Thanks Wuji. I record the poem on my phone and then send it to my email from where I download it to my laptop (you can skip the merry-go-round if you can add directly items from your phone to your blog) and then add it like when you add images (add new option in the media insertion of the posts)

Wow that’s a good trick! It’s so intimate.

Thank you. You should try on yours, it would be quite the thing. Well the reason I started doing it is because sometimes people misconstrue what I mean which might be corrected by the reading (or not :D). Sometimes I read it in a way that is different from what I am meaning, just playfully 🙂 I usually have hidden meanings which show when you tie the words from different verses in a certain way.

I’m quite fond of the website soundcloud, I’ve thought of keeping recordings on there, it’s just a bit of work I find. I’m quite lazy 😛

Me too. I started on soundcloud and a couple of other sites where you could put poetry that was read but then thought it would be too much work given I already update this blog, my facebook page aside from doing all the rest of what I do

Plus, I ended up being quite shy to listen to my own voice.
