More About Me and My World
I am interested in many fields of endeavour now. My 4 passions are: writing, reading, astronomy, and music, in no particular order. Presently, I'm in my drumming phase, music wise, and I am rocketing out of a dry spell I had, writing wise, for 4 years. I have over 100 pages of poetry from that period. Reading wise, presently, I am reading primarily philosophy, and while I used to read almost nothing but fiction, I have switched predominantly to non fiction for a long time.

I am primarly writing love/erotic poetry now, ever since my poem here called "Embrace you" on July 10th. I wrote Metaphysical poetry before that, with a bit of gothic, and I hope to get back to some metaphysical musings again, and to write more Gothic poetry, and to step up my game, so to speak, in that particular genre of poetry.

I may do some short stories at some point, in the form of fairy tales and the like

Reading wise, I love gothic literature, and quality sci fi...I LOVE watching b grade horror/sci fi flicks though! :P

I have taken upon a few websites now. I administer another main ning group:

http://gothiclit.ning.com/profile/RobertM

I also have 5 subgroups at CTI:

http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/group/romanticpoetessandrobmsc...

I also have a poetry blog at http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/blog/medicinerob/index.php?

and there is some of my poetry at my myspace page
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&Mytoken=BFED1...

and a bit at a buddhist site I used to go to:

http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/blog/medicinerob/index.php?

I am playing along to music more and more with my instruments, and I hope to play in public soon, along with reciting some poetry, and becoming more active in my cities arts scene in general.

I love Kirtan (East Indian Devotional Chant). I don't believe in the deities, but the energy of it is very positive.

I have become a general spiritualist, but I follow much of the tenets of buddhism, in trying to apply those tenets to everyday life, especially rigthminfullness, lovingkindness, and right effort.

The Prayer



The prayer...

I felt the need of prayer,
when I heard the tears of those who have not left any tears to cry,
whose souls run dry in the ocean of doubt,
whose hearts walk about inside a prison of pain,
and answers or prayer feel like a bounty that will not come upon them again.

I felt the power of prayer,
when I prayed in the holiest hour,
the hour of my own darkness,
in which my own throne of happiness was usurped,
and I gave of myself wholelly unto prayer,
to that soul was… Continue

A video that seemed sent, made just for me

My dear Mighty Aphrodite sent this vid to me...it's as if this was meant for me, this vid. Thank you, dearest one for sending it to me. I wanted to share it with everyone here, because I believe this speaks to what I am, a healer that needs to heal. It's my essence that I am a healer, I seem to have been born to it. I've had this comented on "Sometimes I wish I didn't end up being the healer all the time.But Robert, that is what you are." This video is even set to Loreena McKennitt to boot! My g… Continue

The day love died, the night it rose again



The day love died,
was the night it was reborn,
as on that mysterious day,
it fell to the swarm of an unknown force,
perchance a malice of an army of mysterious universes intent,
to send love into a forever descent,
its scent of sweet flowers never to scent the senses of mortals e'ermore.

Twixt between the hours of dusk,
the time of twilight,
that the world felt its throes,
the death of love,
as naught but thorns were felt,
'pon the hearts of mortals and immortals same.

The love



My spirit watches her,
as she wanders to the stream,
and she stops and wonders,
as she cries with a hope,
for she swears she can see the hope of love,
flowing like her tears in her hidden dream.

My heart beats,
as my spirit ambles by to hear her heart beating,
its beats strirring with the potentiality of loves existence,
a persistent beat of hope that fades but never quite goes away...

...and I feel both my spirit and heart stir with an urge,
to tell her that love is hers as… Continue

The nature of love

The nature of love is the ultimate alchemization,
it brings itself to the human mind like quantam states in constant flux.

The nature of love is like particles and waves,
in which our percpetion can change its very nature;
we often do not know it,
but our mind so often assembles the power of nature of loves state,
as when understanding and compassion make love so malleable,
so that if we find that our heart was not meant for another,
it lets that other heart go,
and when our heart grows hard,

Love Poet

I am a poet who loves thee,
and yet my pen cannot find the words to desribe thine essence;
I am a poet who loves love,
and yet my pen grows impotent when thinking upon its nature,
it cannot capture the fire of love in mere verses;
the most beautiful cursives of my poetic pen,
they would feel like curses when set against loves might,
and I dare not set my pen to write this,
as I feel love's power is outside the scope of my pens sight.

I am a poet who loves the power of love,
and yet my pen canno… Continue

Do I?

Do I inspire you as you do me?
Do I inspire your body to overtake itself,
to go past the hestitancy of touching lips,
to go past the hesitancy of you touching your hands with mine,
so that your body may finally feel the ectasy of mine?

Do I elevate the feelings in your body,
as your body does for me?
Does this elevation make you fever,
like the fever that runs through this dreamer,
this dreamer that dreams of none but you?

Do I make you want me,
the way that I want you?
Do your fingers tremble… Continue

Of peace

I dream of the magical paradise of that eve of peace,
in which our souls know the bounty of naught but bliss,
and the blessing of peace is kissed upon our brows,
and the prow of the ship that carries us to this land,
it is inscription of that word called love,
a love bountiful and undiluted,
pure and unpolluted with machinations and unknown sophistications of the mind.

I dream of this paradise as more than a dream,
and I take your hand into the verdant forest,
where only pure hearts can wash th… Continue

Tenderness

Tenderness is what I feel for you,
as I explore every facet of your heart,
through every curve of your body,
my hands roaming,
my mouth moaning in increments of loves magnificence,
that only your moans can impart to me.

Tenderness is what I give you,
as I run my hands through your crown of hair,
that aligns with the crown of your heart,
that crown that crowns the spirit in me,
and leaves my heart feeling most fair.

I re-invent the word of tenderness,
as I whisper the meaning of the word to you… Continue

I left the dream

I left it and watched it,
as it merged and suffused the internal mechanisms of my thought,
and I thought to myself,
"am I my own dream,
or am I the dreamer,
am I the willow that lays wilted in the wind,
or am I the hand that wilts it,
or the mind that wills this so to be?"

I felt the dream,
and left it to its own devices,
hoping that the attitude of love suffices,
to let it unfold into a beautiful dream that will be become soothing reality,
in which the song of a birds wings at rest,
that this… Continue

Her eyes lay before me

Her eyes lay before me in tenderness,
haunted by the befouled strrings of love gone wrong,
her eyes,
they cry at night at the constant falling of her loves moon,
this moon that never seems more than quarter full,
the equinox of unfullfilled love constantly overshadowing her loves dream.

Her eyes lay as a mystery,
a haunt that haunts my soul to the core,
as she looks into my eyes and asks me:

"Who will I find that will adore me,
and who I may love without restraint,
who will I find that I can l… Continue

Forgiven

I can feel it in my heart,
as you lay in bed at night,
warm tears rolling down your haunted face,
illuminated by the moonlight,
that tries so desperately to tease your eyes to close,
as you lay there with the burden of the past lain upon your chest,
that puts a fire of sorrow in your breast,
as you feel that your heart
...it is unforgiven,
for all those things it did that may have fallen outside the state of grace,
those events that etched the pain that now lays plainly etched upon your face.

My Ache

My ache,
it is founded,
left unbounded,
in having not found my love,
the love that sets the heart free,
to be heart that feels the ecstatic reverly of loves amorous ectatsy.

My ache,
it is the ache for a body that will lie next to me,
a body born of love and nothing else for me,
a body that shall become merged in singularity with mine,
as propounderance of prosperpine lays upon my brow,
and fields of aphrodite explode in my heart,
to leave it blossoming in loves fields forevermore.

I ache for… Continue

The forest of your love

The forest of your love,
it lies before me,
it stands before my eyes in copses of trees,
that act as your souls spies,
to watch me as I undress,
to reveal my bodies nakedness to you,
to excite you and entice you into the beauty that is the love of you.

The forest of your love,
it shimmers with sunlight between the leaves,
like the sun that shimmers off your mane of hair,
and I toss away the days without a care,
like leaves that are tossed amongst the summer wind,
that travel I know not where,

Having met you

In having met you,
I feel mingled into your existence,
like a vintage of wine that is brought into this universe,
only through the mingling of our flavours,
that only the senes of us can savour.

In having met you,
I feel the heaviness of loneliness lifted from my chest,
as I feel the magifience of your caring breasts brush against my heart,
and you impart a primal force of love to me,
that only my skin can feel,
that only my eyes can see.

In having met you,
I discovered the true meaning of the… Continue

The mystery




The universe lies as a mysetry,
before edges of the pages of time,
the sands of galaxies intoxication,
they speak to me in their silent rhyme.

The history of this mystery,
it resdies in the resonating echoes of my body,
as my voice gives it utterance,
shouting the loudest whispers of poetry into the void,
and my heart wishes to see the mysteries of the universe unfurled.

My eyes,
they see this mystery as the history of the joy of discovery,
my ears,
they hear this mystery i… Continue

Her presence




Her presence,
it is the presence that haunts me,
that makes me shudder on the warmest of days,
when copses of trees fall gently under her subtlest breaths sway,
this copse of trees that is the apex where our love met,
when we kissed a kiss that neither of us would forget.

Her presence is the essence of mysterious shades of time,
moments of us caught like a second hands hicup;
we lay under the presence of the power of times shades,
and the power of love to both of us,
it is n… Continue

Remembering Fragile

Fragility is the most fraigle state,
that the universe has ever seen,
for fragility falls under the footsteps of the thoughts of the everyday,
and so the pain and tears of those that have grown fragile,
this pain,
these tears,
they grow all the more fragile and hurt,
for lack of attention of those who are enveloped in the mundane.

Fragility is the most fragile thing my heart has ever known,
grown more fragile from when the feeling of being fragile is hidden,
never shown,
for fear of acussations… Continue

Wanting

I want...

I want a peace that is unbounded and unfounded by strife,
a peace not temporary,
but one that will last throught the rest of the days of my life.

I want...

I want a peace that flies as light as thermal currents amongst the midday sun,
a peace that brings my heart to beat in a pace that agonizes me no more,
a beating of heart that is open to the peace of peace and love,
open to the mystery of the constellations of the skies above.

I want...

I want a peace that speaks to me in the s… Continue

Paraiso

Paraiso...

You are a flor ave Paraiso to me,
as you pluck the strings of my heart,
playing them of your own accord,
to make my heart sing for you,
to make my body play its notes for you,
these notes of love that sing of two bodies in utter accord,
playing resonating chords of sensualities,
that lays all traces of discord aside,
as my body yearns to dwell with you inside.

You are a Paraiso of love to me,
as you make my body ache like rollings of arpeggios,
arpeggios that run past the capos that… Continue

Everybody, check out the archives of Eclectic Energy and Sensual Whispers for Mon, Sept.14/09. I co hosted for half an hour on eclectic, and I co hosted the whole show with Nxt Lvl at sensual whispers! It was a blast! I seem a natural co-host! Thanks to eclectic and Nxt for the opportunity. I will be doing further co-hosting at eclectic in the future, wouldn't be surprised if I did so for Nxt Lvl, as well. In the relatively near future I hope to have my "hourglass" poem produced by him. I may try for a track on the Poetry over Music album.

I have a Poem Idea!!
ah ha...Imagine That!!

he walked in the path of woman
for he longed in the night of veil
searching for his soul out reaching
where the call of lovers would fail

he dressed in the scarlet’s of crimson
trying desperately to seduce his soul
from the calling of his masculinity
he wore lipstick of erotic lover’s extol

Then Of Course this song came to mind.....
