dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Magnetic
“In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.” Maya Angelou
Found You Of course, I drifted off at some point, lost in the melodrama of north, true north and magnetic north, which all seemed very northy to me, a desperate invocation of the obvious made darker, instead, I set my compass to love and found you. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
“Do you pay regular visits to yourself? Start now.” Rumi
The Whole Circus I like that my dystopian corners are quieter, and calm still weaves through the convoluted clutter of the greek tragedies of my life that disturb the meadows of my mind, as wind excoriates dry grass in late summer of the distended days of fiction on fire with lacerated confusion, so I simply shut the door and sat without expectation, letting the whole circus pass me by. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

“No creature is fully itself till it is, like the dandelion, opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos.” D.H. Lawrence
Philosopher's Lament Perhaps, but the path is not conquered by having a why, certainty is so easily undone and knowing is not in the mind, to touch another in soul moments is to unfetter the universe and recast the lights of heaven as dandelion seeds on the breath of desire, a love thermal to carry the world to heights yet unknown beyond the very smallness of reason, perhaps, yes, life is far more organic. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

“You can’t study the darkness by flooding it with light.” Edward Abbey
Darkness Have you known those deep ecstasies having ventured into that impenetrable darkness which shines its light for a path beyond the stolid middle towards the wild, beckoning, fringes of everything where the rays of darkness illumine mystery's sweet reversal, vesting you in raiment of understanding that has no possible words only sighs? ©Paul Vincent Cannon

“A dreamer is one who can only find their (his, sic) way by moonlight ….” Oscar Wilde
With Moon I was over dressed in thought as I meandered the joys of my uneven shoreline, with moon on my shoulder, unspoken for a time until the water beckoned across the warm expanse and I waded out into the cool sublime and swam my emotions in the calm where moon undressed my thoughts and swam with me. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

“Love is a burning desire, that makes your heart light on fire.” Ritu Ghatourey
Her Sigh The softness of her sigh touched my tidal dream with eloquent slow water on the softest pillows of sand clouds on summer days when worlds not seen come close in gauzy thinness that I touch but only with a feltness of heart that wells up in me and wants to love the whole swirling lot of her. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Bjorn is hosting MTB at dVerse and has invited us to develop a poem from a list. dVerse Poets – Meeting The Bar – Lists That Google Gives Us
“Love is not consolation. It is light.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Her Soft Light Moon was not in my sky, she was out somewhere with pisces, meeting new faces, I could hear her laughter cascading across the atmosphere and I determined a direction, her soft light leading my curious heart, which lead to, of all places, the seventh house, and I smiled because the night had not long begun and moon was young again, I didn't even knock. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
The Google search gave me “Moon is in the seventh house.”

“The essence of lying is in deception, not in words” John Ruskin
The Darkness You Bring In the darkness of my moments, those particular moments of keen observation that I extract from my wounded veneer comes a cacophony of retorts to show my indignation that you are less than you said you were in your arrogant summation of self that placed you above while yet you were below, at least when I took privilege to judge you it certainly seemed so, and you were so utterly disappointing and yet it is not I you offend, but the very world of innocence and, though I would do nothing in response you are no less lighter in the weight of the darkness you bring which leaves us all desperately looking for light we cannot find in ourselves, but you came to this in your own way, no one set the axe to your foundation, you cut yourself down ©Paul Vincent Cannon
VJs Weekly Challenge – Pathetic Fallacy (conveying emotions/mood using references to weather).
“An optimist is the human personification of spring.” Susan J. Bissonette
Everything My vulnerable bones fulminate against winter's lingering chill and my mouth speaks mistily of earth's grand tilt south up, as Helios smiles dispelling the grey oppression of now parting in weak resistance to the coming light that warms a promise of hope as nature speaks in loud colours of life, birthing out of rain's pregnant desire for something fresh, new, verdant, in my deepest self, where buds are coiled in wait of springing forth into the very next moment of the unmeasured joy of everything. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
“Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness.” Allen Ginsberg
Alleluias Of Love Moon dreamed in my moments the essence of my being, nurturing the opening of a generous fissure where the well-spring of life overflowed and soul words erupted like a river of ecstasy rising up from my centre to greet the world with alleluias of love. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
