True Love's Conversation in the Courtyard

A day of
growth in the
eyes of love, when
the years were young,
inside the heart of the
acorn, papyrus endearments
in esoteric oath,

A day of
mind travel,
in the consumming
power of love, the
eternal shade of red
in the cinnabar gravel
leaching from the jade gate,
in the garden, conversation in
the courtyard, above the floor of
basalt blocks, the love we made, the
cement and marble statuary, vessels of
transmutation, erotic dreams fired hot in
the crucible,

The House of Millstones,
terracotta Zodiac fusable,
imprint of hooves, the red
bricks seal the eternal mortar
of heart tones, the oven in room
14, birthed of a Sagittarius, fire
in the highest passionate order,

bronze sheets a
gilded gift to lie
upon on a day of love,
tunicas stripped, feet
of candelabra give Light
to inlaid passion, ascension
above, the power of love.


Copyright 2/14/2009 - 2.10.2010 Ms. Sage Sweetwater,
firebrand lesbian novelist

Your 'courtyard' Sage is all experience possible - reach, achievement, flight, soar...the possibilities are infinite as is love and the awareness of it...there's a G M Hopkins spirit here and it's bold and eloquent.

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.

A (shockingly) truthful autobiography with elements of fantasy, philosophy, and historical fiction.
