Posted: 7/20/2008 7:28:09 AM | In 5 minutes time
I turn forty nine
On south australian time
I decided a while back I was taking up piano again on my 50th birthday
Guess I got a year to get organised and get a piano back in again eh!
But the first time I sit to play
On the day
I think will have to be some place both
Unusual...and amazing
This is something special to me
And I want it to be 'a memory'

Happy
Birthday
many wishes
reflect
wishes many
Birthday
Happy
Champrains
the subtle touch of the keys
the black and whites
born in ivories a heart set free
the nights of blissful heights
as the notes pierce the air and rise
in the flats and the sharps
a body sways melodically alive
crescendoes of life’s harp
deep in the lithe fingers that sow
the sweetest music of all of the soul

| Happy Birthday Champrins!!!!
Posted: 7/20/2008 6:49:25 PM | Thank you everyone
Ya know....there are a bunch of pretty amazing people in this place
And one of the nicest birthday presents is me realising how many great people I have met here
So......thanks to Marcus for putting this site together
And thanks to you guys for 'being here'
I intend for something extraordinary to come out of this day! Somehow....
It feels like a page is somehow waiting
Aggitated somewhat
And wanting to be turned
I'm going to turn it | |
|
| Happy Birthday Champrins!!!!
Posted: 7/20/2008 7:19:11 PM | Each page
is like a leaf,
turning in the fall,
seasons of hues,
multi colored tapestries
decorating lifes canvas,
times of aggitation
with faded lustres,
and times with golden
plumage, high gloss
ecstasy, and for "one" moment
in the sun,
it shimmers...
it's own moment
to shine!
turn your page gently...the best is yet to be!
Happy Birthday sweety. | |

Enough that there should be a catch for each who casts a line
But a good catch? a great catch?
That elusive perfect catch?
We come here wondering ..
Who else in the world could possibly be
Just like me?
OutsideTheBox4sure, (Dave) as laid-back-cool as any handsome hero in a beach party movie,
and expat57, who lives inside a daydream, so far out on the fringes of life
it's near impossible to meet someone out there who isn't a complete whack-job.
But we met each other through POF ..
Who'da thunk it?
( .. and who knew such a way-cool-duuude would also be informed and articulate?
Plus, doesn't hurt any that he's well beyond the starfish stage .. ! ..
Blown-away, jaw-droppingly, amazed ( ! ) to have met a man who had me figured out by day two....
.. *wink* .. ) | |

Posted: 7/22/2008 7:22:07 PM | well doggonit Salty...i'm sooo late to the table...but HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!
as the thunder
rumbled in
while I sat crying
again
I found a peace
with each electrical
heart-stopping
POP
jumping right outta my skin
my fear
disappeared
in thin air
pour down rains.....
dissolve my pain...
and scratch my back..
right there
rage dissolved in the winds
but the trees whipped violently
and as I watched them bend
but not break
mother nature took
"all that I can take"
and personified...
I watched...with awe...
and my tears...
...they dried | |

Posted: 7/22/2008 8:23:58 PM | Three ravens devoured
my shadow, and my eyes turned black,
like coals without embers
to warm the night...
and a chill inhabited my bones,
dark wing ice crystals
the life force of death,
as blackness becomes my forest. | |
|
| Ravens
Posted: 7/22/2008 8:54:21 PM | blackness becomes my forest
time marking each step
as i walk through the darkest night
stopping as beams of starlight
illuminate the thoughts and fears
equally deep
that resonate throughout my heart
my mind humming as my soul
dances lightly through the shadows
meeting better days
one chance note at a time
Hey M! | |

Posted: 7/22/2008 9:09:50 PM | Good evening my lady!
Slips of silence
penetrate, echoing
feint his name
I hear
Pere Pa
carried on winds
calling,
calling
in a dream
of promise
from beyond
wilderness rejoices
with the reunion
of song
and spirit,
the circle
never to be broken. | |

Posted: 7/22/2008 9:29:39 PM | I choose not to measure time,
it is an abstract distraction
with little merit.
Let me measure your smile
in a treasured moment,
let me measure your frown
when things get you down,
let me measure your eyes
when wide with wonder,
let me measure your tears
when pain pulls you under.
let me measure your heart
when you help those in need,
let me measure your love
with every good deed.
But the one thing
that can never be measured,
is the depth of your soul! | |

Posted: 7/22/2008 10:25:15 PM | fathomless
obscure swirling sea of mystery
planted in the seed of destiny
vast as a black holed galaxy
fathomless the power we feed
life placed marks upon a deed | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 9:33:16 PM | lets go bake some seagulls and shoot pistols at the moon
heckling the tide
and rolling thru the dunes
naked
and on fire with moonshine lust.

Posted: 7/24/2008 4:47:12 AM | Hey A.....Short but sweet! Love the images of that one! Last time I drank shine....well, let's just say it took me a few days to remember what happened! | |
|
| Rambles
Posted: 7/24/2008 5:23:15 AM | always wondered why they called it 'moonshine'..
warm the oils to
annoint a waiting foot
then bound for eternity to
wander the waiting catacombs

Posted: 7/26/2008 6:48:33 AM | Disquieting reverence to silence
solitude reaching for the strings of envy
plucking melodies of madness,
driving in fever pitch,
rhapsodies rage in crescendo,
seeking that one note
to shatter illusions mirror
and return to the waters of Babylon. | |

Posted: 7/26/2008 9:35:32 AM | HUGS AND KISSES
Break'n free of the bonds within times spent long
Waiting to giddie up and go go go
Take'n the time of taskful sight
Cross'n the T's and dot'n those I's
So someday soon
I can scratch the surface'd burning crust
Off into the dust of times hand'd tie'd up!!!
(I've always had a hard time keep'n my mouth shut!!!!.........  ) | |
