The light spilling fast 24 March 2021
Cavernous shadows sight my eyes I follow dark inside A dialog between us overcomes cobwebs Thought expressed ringing through my head the message sits clumsy an attempt to understand meanings of half light Piercing ray resounding echo burning through retina the stratosphere now reckons the light spilling fast Reading of the poem:
Stive Morgan - Melancholy
Removal 16 March 2021
Curse lifted Waters seeping through the tendrils fluttering My heart and mouth uttering secrets of the soul The hands joint invoke better days They falter in defeat Whisper of reunions calm them in solace The mind stares through the passing waves Removal in springtime of the slow wavering rhymes unwinding in eye Reading of the poem
MESSIAH Project - Sadness
Crescent moon to leave 9 March 2021
Wolves hurry across the landscapes fiery crops burning high Bosom utters not a sigh crossing through the flames Horses dive through etheric lanes shaking manes hooves thunder The moonlit sights a wonder etched into our hearts Two to grieve My breast torn did heave coils cleft none bereft They ask me now in pieces crescent moon to leave Reading of the poem:
Messiah Project - Favorite
To cradle of light 27 November 2020
Mind’s tendrils nailing the target course reset no regret The hand on my heart measure of pulsing leisure Within eye the whispering trees build gardens of morrows bridges of new intentions my bosom crosses The journey a flight within reeds Ticking clock awaits none Elementary treasures growing from the shrubs Untangling sister’s weaving spun through the heat that melts all A riddle for mind to fall A tale to recall Adventure the soul has begun within joints it anoints hands drawing cardinal points spaces the eye seeks The light flows within my body It quivers in rivers messages it delivers to cradle of light Messiah Project - Region Of Darkness, Cradle Of Light

Eyes seeing unseen
27 June 2020
Whirring soft
the wheels in motion
gather moss
as they roll
They pick up speed, lose control
from the momentum
Target lost
Blind aim untoward
they gather
second stones
ready now to break the bones
intention resolved
The victim
hair flowing downward
pining teen
chained to Earth
all but chest above the floor
eyes seeing unseen
In some Muslim countries, the women guilty of adultery or even of having an affair without being married are buried in the ground and stoned with the obvious result being death in most cases. Sickeningly in some countries even the victims of rape may sometimes be sentenced in the same way as adulterers or women having an affair. This poem is written to raise awareness of the conditions under which even a young teenager who would have been free to love in other countries may incur the death penalty and be stoned to death for the “crime” of being caught with her lover in isolation. I chose to accompany this poem with a beautiful video showing elements from the cosmos to emphasize the gulf that separates some people from the vastness of the cosmos.

Lisa Gerrard – Space Weaver
Free of memories
25 June 2020
I carried
the desert landscapes
into mind
All alone
I raised with them paths of stone
that heart will rewind
Grey lit dawns
Walks in nothingness
they remind
of my share
of all that I once held dear
vanished in thin air
See no fear
My eyes are laden
with the hope
of morrows
when heart expunges sorrows
free of memories

♪ Stive Morgan – Solar Wind
Bigotry
24 June 2020
Say woman
They will say demon,
holding tight
rosaries
the breath compressed as it flees
from their seething teeth
The blood seeps
Its way onto thighs
Preachers’ lies
escort it
animal to hide away
till the roll in hay
Changeling
The bosom upright
till night dawns
into age
the tautness gives in to sage
Silver crests the head
Lost the youth
Hymen thing of past
Who to judge
what will last?
When shoulders upright no more
unmarked then the whore
Hold the part
An act for two plays
rolls its ways
into world
we hoist up the sail unfurled
Emblem of our heart
Pick a tree
Pick a blooming side
They vote for
bigotry
eyes closed to our history
The unleveled ride

Stive Morgan – Ice and Fire
Without you
23 June 2020
Without you
the sun lost its warmth
jaded ball
it slithered
skulking beyond horizon
looking for your face
Without you
the rain lost its touch
The moss cringed
under it
as it seemed fire alit
by burning desires
Without you
the earth rotated
upside down
reverse spin
I heeded to rising din
all clamoured for you

Only The Man – Shinnobu
Fly with me
21 June 2020
Come with me
I’ll show you a place
where wisdom
unfettered
is all mind ever uttered
speaking through the heart
Walk with me
One nation One pace
let’s replace
all sorrow
with beauty brought by morrow
delving in the soul
Fly with me
into worlds of love
overturned
misgivings
driven by the mighty dove
into oblivion

Paolo Nutini – Iron Sky [Abbey Road Live Session]
Woven threads
20 June 2020
Vivid glance
into depths of soul
Woven threads
knitted hearts
Whole to understand from parts
The wisdom in stance
The mind shreds
the knowledge amassed
forbearing
the dire times
when all gathered were but rhymes’
wayward wandering
The children
lost in midst of shores
between lands’
sand rivers
Bodies repressing shivers
that the day disbands
