 27 Feb 2003 @ 14:27, by Raymond PowersI have been writing poetry since I was 12 years old. Originally this occurred in somewhat of a trance-like state, strange suspensions in temporality in which I would not remember pen to paper until it was over. Later, as I began writing songs and discovering my singing voice, I was able to access the same creative zone, through more of a conscious process. Here are two of my favorites: TODAY... Today I excite the senses, To bestow upon me their everlasting grace, Like notes adorn the symphony of conscious Being. A hive with nectar and queens who guide an army of delight and devotion, Wings of an Angel fluttering in my ear, Whispering, urging, Gyrations of their lilac scent and rose adorned countess lips. Today I step with newly chiseled high steps, Mirroring the future through the looking of explorers eyes. I course the labyrinth where the sun breaks seeds through soil, Where men caress the edge of time, Where no prediction gifts me with its’ sight. I jump sparkling like an opal dove, Into Uncertainty. ------------------------------------------------- IN QUIET MOMENTS In quiet moments, When stillness becomes my world, I stand inside myself, I stand beside myself. Present and lost in love’s magnificence, Bequethed with the freedom that wisdom brings. Sanctity caresses every breath, Every gesture, Every word. In quiet moments. I revel and shake, The mystery that lives in my bones Since before the earth was formed, Before the first whisper of the moon’s sacred marriage to the sun. Sometimes these secrets explode within me, This vessel turns from steel to gold, And I lose myself, I lose myself In this familiar wine. Yet deep inside I know, I must pass this drink, I drink so that all may be drunkards when Spirit shines, When spirit shines, In quiet moments. These two poems were from a small booklet that I self published several years ago. There are more online at my website. Also, there are lyrics to read from some of the songs I've written. |
