Lens Day Challenge: Peaceful

waiting for the sun to set

in the stillness of the moment
his brightness radiate by the distance
one of those gleams of genial fire
that darted across all oceans

from a standpoint of her dillydally life
whom was once aquainted only
with the grey twilight
now saw that there is more truth
to admit than be inclined

so unlike the calm lake,
she danced and sparkled and prattled
in a no nonsense senibility
awaiting his fire to come closer-
gaining the shadow of his presence
in a forbidden proximity

and wraped in the blinding light they float
slowly burning the velvet horizon
with the scene of life
that passes before the eye

they create, destroy and restore
over and over and over
and as they let go of their last breath,
a final etch painted across the sky..

that their passion shall burn forever.

Photo Friday: Fast

just a quick post..



Sidewalking - The Jesus and Mary Chain

Chilled to the bone and five miles to home
I'm messing in the dark and feeling all alone
I got ice in my fire got the heat in my wire
Inject a little heat I'm burning up the tyres
Sidewalking
Talking like I'm on and I'm the only one
I'm making like I'm done and staring like a gun
Sidewalking
And I got to get a car
And I got to get a ride
Gotta get a car
Got jesus on my side
Messing in the dark and walking all alone in
The streets
Know just where I'm going
Sidewalking
Chilled to the bone
Hotwired heat all the way home

Lens Day Challenge: New

that after the sunset and a long night
comes a new day..

note: "Black Sunset" taken at Tagaytay while inside a moving vehicle. this is my entry for this week's Lens Day.

Photo Friday: Peaceful

Sweet, I blame you not, for mine the fault was,
had I not been made of common clay
I had climed the higher heights unclimed yet,
seen the fuller air, the larger day.

From the wilderness of my wasted passion
I had struck a better, clearer song,
Lit some lighter light of freer freedom,
battled with some Hydra-headed wrong.

Had my lips been smitten into music by the kisses
that but made them bleed,
You had walked with Bice and the angels
on that verdant and enamelled mead.

I had trod the road which Dante treading
saw the suns of seven circles shine,
Ay! perchance had seen the heavens opening,
as they opened to the Florentine...

...Keats had lifted up his hymenal curls
from out the poppy-seeded wine,
With ambrosial mouth had kissed my forehead,
clasped the hand of noble love in mine.

And at springtide, when the apple-blossoms brush
the burnished bosom of the dove,
Two young lovers lying in an orchard
would have read the story of our love.

Would have read the legend of my passion,
known the bitter secret of my heart,
Kissed as we have kissed, but never parted
as we two are fated now to part...

note: excerpts of a the most beautiful poem i have ever read.. and yet to know the title.. a poem written by Oscar Wilde.. and for that, a photo i had made when i was in the most beautiful peaceful place in the world..

Lens Day Challenge: Ice

At your feet i dreamt
on the other line i heard
how i lost contact with our reality
how our dreams left afloat in the background
now i am confessing of the wrongness i did
i am not worthy of your passion
but your undying touch has kept me alive
your fire has kept the warmth in my psyche
and that i did not see for a moment
for i got lost in a wrong turn and raindrops
froze in my ice-cold confines,
but here am i again
though was never gone, my injured soul was hanged
please dont let go of my hand
pull me back again
as you once did
wake me up from dreaming the off beam
catch me from my paralyzed transgression
you are my faith
you are my exaltation
with you i only want to be...

note: yeah this is kinda off-topic. it's not literally "ice" but you know i am like that. so, for violent reactions please leave in comments section }:-}

Illo Friday: Phoenix

Cynical Silence

i see you wading at the water
in the equal twilight of the razor edge dust
blows through the empty echoes
silkening the mirrored sea
every single night a part of me dies
changing tossing what’s on my behalf
no laughter can overflow
no dance can ever color
as i see myself fading
leaving myself in the tossing of the moon
from back and beyond
falling down deep i don’t wanna see myself
trapped in the illusion of cynicism
of a cynical world you have created
of a world i stepped into
of the uncertainties i was willing to pursue

holding…
waiting…
wanting…
yearning…

but around me i film in steps
through the phoenix eyes i've seen
a belief that would never behold
and i am not naïve to not see
a block of thorned oaths
without sympathy you ripped, slashed and shred
blade-sharp folds and innate cuts
from innocent souls you stole -

them holding…
them waiting…
them wanting...
them yearning…

now i’ll leave you with that world
let me cross back to my time
let me go back to the crossroads of the wrong turn
before i get lost in your terrain
before i fall further
before it gets too late.

note: i know i didnt exactly drew a phoenix, but read between the lines and you'll see..
