Dust and Leaves
Severus Alexander said:
Thank you! It's always nice to hear kind words..
Paul Simon is a wonderful, magical man, and his music never ceases to bring tears to my eyes.. His career really took off when he started releasing solo albums, but Simon & Garfunkel will always hold a special place in my heart..

And Paul Simon is a Pocket size Genius.I adore Him.😍😀

Daffodils
Severus Alexander said:
I set this poem to the tune and rhythm of "Cedarwood Road" By my favorite band, U2. Imagine it, if you would. It's quite beautiful.

If this poem seems slightly off, that's probably because I stayed up until six in the morning writing it, and I was very nearly delirious.

Thanks for sharing SA AUBADE = Dawn Serenade an apt title ! The sunrise heralds a new day - a day you have together. Each day shared has its own sufficiency and enables you to be contented and walk hand in hand into the night - BEAUTIFUL - BRIAN

Roughly translated, for those of you out there who do not, in fact, speak Old Norse, this says;
"They, will we take care of,"
"Who have none to love,"
"And who follow my promise,"

Severus Alexander said:
Thank you, Seeker.
I appreciate your thoughts...
What is solid, physical, will never cause me to question my dreams; they are purely ephemeral, and in a sense, are the purest experiences which I will ever have.
However, sometimes, in that mysterious, strange and beautiful place between dreaming and waking, the whispers of the unconscious mind can provide those subtle, precious fragments of insight into life, and interaction, for which I seek by day, but almost never seem to find.
A dream is one of the few places where a thought can make a wish come true.
I have the most lovely dreams~
They contribute a great deal to what inspiration I have to write poetry.

Outstanding Severus. I love the way you question the happenings in the world of Morpheus. They could indeed be majestic for a certainty. Bravo!!

*Oh...
Whoops. Roughly translated, (I much prefer the original Old Norse) this poem would say...
"Angels have four wings.."
"With two they hide their faces.."
"And with two they fly.."

Looking Glass / Remembrance
Severus Alexander said:
On my boots...
Age and rough terrain have rendered them worn, but the leather is still crisp, and sturdy.
The soles are supple still, and have molded to the bottoms of my feet over years of use.
A mixture of mud and dry leaves is plastered to the bottom of each, which has consistently resisted cleaning for quite some time.
Upon further examination, the
leaves are not the muddy brown of decaying foliage; they are a crisp, golden yellow.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood~
~And sorry I could not travel both..
I looked down one as far as I could~
~To where it bent in the undergrowth...

Severus Alexander said:
Thank you, LaRose.
I would draw your attention to a line by Robert Frost;
"Men work together.... Whether they work together or apart."
Although, in theory, many things separate us..
...be they culture, age, ideal, or simply distance...
I do believe that we write from similar places;
Similar places within the heart~
So, In a way, I do know you.
