Upside down

The sharing of love has turned me upside down,
to the rhythm that poised to turn me right side up from a frown to a smile, with love abound.

I could not bear to turn right side up without promise of joy,
to the joy promised to me by your upside down frown...

but I shall let my life turn to 360, when I see you come round...
for turning 180, I will miss love by a revolution...and my life will turn into a frown

We Are Beautiful

The falcon flies so gracefully in flight,

with perfect eyes and the speed of light.

While we are walking on this same earth,

where crocuses, tulips, and roses grow.

Mountains of silver, bronze, and gold,

the voice within still keeps us bold!

O' that should be smile is a frown,

somehow has turned life upside down.

You light inside you have turned out,

crying, complaingin, stand up and shout!

The cut above exalts thrives off love.

Thanks for… Continue

Inspiration

THE MARKET!

The fair, the bazar of mine exploring heart,

ready to be torn apart,

by the stands of charlatans ready to claim my soul.



OH SOUL AND HEART OF BURNING DESIRE!

Desire for union, desire for love,

with all of creatures down below here,

and with all that is holy above.



COME TO ME MINE INSPIRATION!

Come to me to inspire me to joy and faith,

I have surrendered to the rhythm of the cosmos,

The market of the… Continue

Love

I stand next to the core of the love I could not find,

the love in my heart, so obvious, yet not divined.



Look for it in the hexagrams of the tao?

I think this shouldn't be so.



Look for it in obscure passages in texts long forgotten, forlorn?

not likely, no, is love so grand found in texts with gold pages adorned.



How obvious is love,

hidden in the heart,

right inside you,

so close, yet so far away,

when your mind drifts away… Continue

Cosmic Cosmos

Cosmic Cosmos crashing through my mind,

Cosmic Collisions of events my life cannot abide.



Cosmic Chaos of Careening causes of catastrophe,

cosmic causeway of cause and effect,

my life searching for a remedy.



Saving solution of savory soul,

scintillating savior of sweetness and love extol.



Sensually sinfully silly,

soul of what love should be,

solution to mistaken syntax,

of life spoken wrongly,

of life now spoken… Continue

Cry me a river - Julie London

The Children of Light

We are the children of LIGHT,

We are the hope of the future

We are the singers of songs

And the lovers of life...

WE are the seekers of wisdom, the sowers of Treasure - and WE

are the lovers of life (and) the searchers of freedom -

And when the darkness covers

We become destroyers of hate - With Power to Conquer

And that POWER is LOVE.

We are the children of the future,

the seekers of light

We are the makers of MUSIC,

WE are the… Continue

Behold, thou art dark and comely, my love;

richly hath the sun favoured thee,

delighting in thy presence.

We Are Lights In the World

I have been on a never ending venture with the hope of making life better for someone including self. What I discovered is that we are lights in the world and we must shine continuously nomatter how much darkness befalls us. Darkness can never over power the light! That light that we are charge with, we must take to the remote places of the earth and share it with others because we all are one and we are the lights in the world. The truth is the light and it will take truth and the light and… Continue

An Evening Out in Savannah





I’ve been honored to have one of my paintings, entitled “With These Hands,” included in the Telfair Museum of Art’s collection for several years now. But on April 16, the museum will host an exhibition of my work that will run until August 17, 2008. If you’re not in Savannah when the show opens, I hope you’ll make it to the city and catch it before the summer ends. It’s a special event to be shared with as many people as… Continue

Swayed Again

Swayed Again

By La Belle Rouge



you trouble my thoughts too often

you live in my heart eternally

and at each remembrance of you

my desire runs quickly to follow

at a distance not respectably far

set afire at just the sound

of your name, image of your face

i sigh, tremble like a virgin girl

at the imagination of your arms

fleeting sensation of your lips

claiming mine in a smoldering kiss

swaying the foundation of my… Continue

Holding Out Hope

From the moment I heard you say my name,

I knew that nothing would ever be the same.

The way you smiled at me let me know,

That you were more than just for show.

Something in your eyes whispers to me,

Unspoken words of everything that could be.

Deep within us there's a connection we share,

The way you touch me tells me you care.

It might be eternity before I can be in your arms,

But I know someday we'll give in to lovers charms.

It might take… Continue

Sacred

Sacred wind blows through my lungs,
sacred earth treads beneath my feet,
as fire of sacred thought burns holiness within my mind,
burns sacredness into my soul.

Sacred word of holy thought puts pleasant spice upon my tongue,
as from body and soul, sacred wind, earth, fire, is wrung.

So let me give utterance to sacredness of all,
as from wind, earth, and fire,
sacredness falls upwards to sacred sky

Celebrating National Poetry and Jazz Appreciation Month April 2008



Poetry and Jazz Music have been friendly kissing cousins at least since the 1920s during the United States’ great jazz age and the very famous worldwide Harlem Renaissance. That was when the great author Langston Hughes and others thrilled themselves and their friends by reciting and recording poetry to the beats of jazz. Many more––Jack Kerouac, Nikki Giovanni, Amiri Baraka, Sekou Sundiata, June Jordan, etc––later followed their…

Prayer

Please deliver me from empty prayer,

from asking what for what the universe gives,

if I just look with eyes given to me,

not to be given to me on silver platter,

with selfish hand clasped in empty prayer.



Please deliver me from empty word,

from facile faith,

that ask of mighty being and force,

that which is given to me,

if just with some sacredness of my spirit applied,

I can have given to me, can from facile effort be set… Continue

Like Wild Horses

Like Wild Horses

By La Belle Rouge



days don’t care if you aren’t ready

to travel along with them

they run like wild horses across

the vast prairie of your life

where you learn to stand and race

or you lie down and get trampled



there is no rhyme or reason

for the brutality of their stampede

horses run because they can

days travel the course of time

delighting in circling cyclones

without your permission or… Continue

Kiss

Kiss me.
With open mouth of no disdain,
open the worlds beauty of freedom from pain.

Kiss me.
When you find yourself in a realm of beauty and sublime,
where love and beauty cost less than a second of time.

Kiss me.
Filled with openness of bliss
open me to bliss and love,
by simply giving me a kiss.
