Poetry

I love this. I love sitting in my room late at night, writing poetry and listening to music. It's so relaxing, so cathartic... Words are amazing things, seriously. I enjoy this so much.

I've started a photoblog because I want to take arty photos when I get my camera. It's here if anyone's interested: http://dappled-shade.my-expressions.com

This is x-posted to there, and there is a photo that goes with it.

Watch Me

Watch me
I am no ordinary image
I am no flitting in the dark shadow
Sunbeam through slit windows am I
Last light filtered dust in shade and tone
Seeping like water drops through the air of the room

Watch me
I am yours for the taking
I am the answer in whole and nothing but
Nothing other than what I appear to be
And unchanging; life in waking and dreaming
Quelled not by fallen tree or flooded path

Watch me
Listen to the music of water
Listen to the music of living beating breathing hearts
In blood rush am I whole and live in you
Take me hesitating only in gentleness
I do not want you to leave me

Watch me, for I cannot take my eyes away from you.

Written whilst listening to Marion, my Dad's song for my Mum. I think the music that goes with poetry is very important. Something like Wagner and his Gesamtkunstwerk.
