-- Notes of a Happy, Sad Song -- John Herlihy Parley moi d’amour Words intimate, pure Speak to me of love On the wings of a dove Such tender words to say Such deep emotion to convey Between them, no distance Nothing to offer resistance Never knew such romance The rhythms of love’s dance From where such easy grace From where her loving face Her skin felt like silk Her eyes creamy milk Her heart fully open True love to betoken As a blind man traced Smile lines of her face She laid her head down A flower fallen to ground Her image never to fade Now thru memory to wade Her glow as moonlight In the mystery of night Night birds call with ease Sweetly flows gentle breeze I hear a murmured voice Alone in darkness I rejoice My throbbing heart be still Only echoes of a whippoorwill Love feels as a river, calm Enduring as a sacred psalm The memory flows ever on Into the realm of beyond Head bowed, softly kissed Eyes closed, still missed - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Monday 7 February 2022

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
