Hello my friends.
I’ve got something really special for you all.
My first ever poetic duet – what an experience!
I made this piece with a brilliant, prolific poet called Hastywords, (if you haven’t heard of her then go here now, go go go!)
http://hastywords.wordpress.com/
She has written so many superb poems that I think you will be hard pressed to find any that won’t immediately become your favourites.
Her photography is very striking and original too – I’m sure you will be impressed with her work.
Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, may I proudly present this gem, I love it very much and I hope you all will too.
Seductive Nature (by TooFullToWrite & Hastywords)
So near and yet so far, pleasures and perils
The subtle allure of nature, no more rehearsals
To be a part of history, a fierce connection
A seductive sea of tranquillity, oceanic perfection
I want the world to love me, the beautiful disaster I am
Forget about the human race, make me shine like the sun
To be a part of the mountains, soaring high into the clouds
A beautiful wave crashing, washing onto pebbled beaches
If I dare to slow down, I will lose all sense of momentum
Courage now an obligation in the face of raw redemption
To be a part of what was, what is and what will be
An elegant aquamarine dream sweeter than potpourri
My tears a sweet flowing rain that heal the deepest seas
My life yearning to soar like feathers in a gusty breeze
I am the conduit that connects the earth to the heavens
The passion I have to be part of the beauty I see
Spreading the angelic wings of my once cluttered mind
Beating a path through this world, rhythmically defined
With each delicious breath, calmness anchors my soul
Where once was complete chaos, now there is control
Harnessing energy from the earths balanced center
I visualize my core a pillar of strength, a cornerstone
Time has no more boundaries, it simply overflows
Pouring ancient wisdom into my malnourished soul
Until unequivocally, I finally understand who I am
No more an enigma, enigmatic with purpose, plans
A seasoned veteran full of panache, verve and style
No holding back or running scared, this river is wild
Must be in the air…I just did two poetic duets with Joe from Iamforchange.wordpress.com
I just read your duets with Joe – I’ll comment personally on your blog, they are fantastic. After the wonderful experience with Hastywords, I think I am going to have to team up with other poets, it is so much fun and the results are to die for!
As I said on Hasty’s – that’s brilliant
Thank you Alastair – that means a lot to us both. Can’t wait to do another one!
Cool 🙂 I do like the way she’s been doing these collaborations.
Me too son, that’s why I thought I would throw my hat into the ring and have a go – glad I did!
She’s asked me to as well. I’m going to have to wait until I can focus a bit more first though
You’ve done a grand job with her
Let me know how it goes when you do – if you enjoy the process (which I’m sure you will) then I’d be happy to participate with you on a piece. I think it’s a really nice way for us writers to combine our talents by teaming up and creating great art together. We are strong on our own but can be so much better together!
That’ll be great 🙂
