I did love him
My storm of heart
I saw in his mind
And my soul
I left behind.
Love
Let me go.
I beg with heat
To be free
*******
Unfolding
recklessness in my
innermost nature
and witness
my own true
companionship
#2
This is true:
My offending speech had,
Till now,
Wasted little of battle.
Therefore I,
In speaking for
Your love, drugs, charms
And magic, am bold
To fall in love,
In spite of everything.

Talk you of heaven?
With all my heart
I hope you know thy sins
Are loves that gnaw you
for loving passion
Yet I hope they point at Peace.
Be still.
I will love thee.
Be still. I will love thee..... how beautiful is that!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rajani.
DeleteTo fall in love,
ReplyDeleteIn spite of everything...that is our goal after all, isn't it?
I believe it has been written!
DeleteOh this is incredibly gorgeous work, Kerry!❤️ I especially love the second; "In speaking for your love, drugs, charms
ReplyDeleteand magic, am bold to fall in love, in spite of everything."❤️
Gotta love some magic!
DeleteI think it's an intriguing way to create...almost like a Ouija board pointing you in this direction and that...kind of like your subconscious speaking to you. I continue to be fascinated by your work.
ReplyDeleteThat is kind of you to say, Tim.
DeleteThis is an amazing way to create... the way you use the zodiak makes me think that love is also a destiny when found in a circle like that.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. Love is a destiny.
DeleteThose are nice, Kerry. the plates make it pretty. We used to do these with Newspapers over at One Single Impression and they were not pretty at all.
ReplyDelete..
These blackouts are amazing! LOL, no fair being so talented with words and art alike. They're all crazy good, but I'm especially fond of 2. Sometimes it feels like you need to be a bit brave (or crazy) to give yourself over to love, but man, what a hell of a rush.
