Quando entri nell'anticamera che conduce ai giardini dei Gelsomini, santuario della poesia lirica, sei abbracciato dal profumo di gelsomino misto a chiodo di garofano ed altre spezie esotiche. Il basso suono pulsante di un qualche ritmo gotico-giungla vibra nel sottofondo. Ombre danzanti di dozzine di candele giocano sulle pareti. Una di esse è piena di libri di ogni genere. Alle altre pareti sono appesi il "Mare di ninfee" di Monet, "Papavero rosso" di O'Keefe e "La Creazione" di Michelangelo. Angoli e nicchie fra i libri sono pieni di dozzine di piccoli capolavori. Sculture di draghi, unicorni, angeli, pietre preziose, ed altri piccoli tesori. C'è un divano di pelle nera e una sedia per stendervisi e leggere, o per qualsiasi altro piacere tu possa desiderare. Porte a vetri si aprono sul Giardino di Mezzanotte dei Gelsomini, che qui sono sempre in fiore. Questi fiori sono più deliziosi di notte. A sinistra c'è una grande vasca di pietra. Acqua sgorga dalle mani di Venere, ad una estremità, e dai palmi a coppa di Davide, all'altra. Il giardino è pieno di statue greche, dei e dee, le loro capriole catturate in morbido, latteo marmo. Al centro del giardino c'è un grandissimo salice piangente. Sotto ai suoi sericei rami che carezzano l'erba lusureggiante, puoi spesso trovare CK ~Dama Vixxen~ Guardiana del giardino. Siede spesso qui, leggendo quietamente e componendo versi, in attesa della più affascinante compagnia... | |
Il Jasminum officinale dei PoetiI need to be you, remembering I am of the Mediterranean family, gift from the azure-eyed goddess, sprung forth, a Pallas. Not to welcome guests on Cowper's spicy shores, nothing so consequential, just love. He will take me in the night, harvest, as were you, my milky star; darkness offering the most intense aromas, plumbed from the silk of day-hesitant petals. He longs for you, your scent, I am indifferent, just another exotic, but could be content, as the breath of angels. CK Tower Intuito sui papaveri e nonsenso "So that's what Hell is. I'd never have believed it..." -Jean-Paul Sartre You sit in your swivel chair let your tie slip through fingers as you turn and try to place me inside your vision of the Collective Unconscious. You offer a new view of Creation but what will I do with more of this? Certainly Michelangelo had grander intentions within his Vatican fresco; that space between fingers like the gaps between synapses, almost touching. And yes I see, not a great cloak about Him, but a brain the gift from Creator to child. But you are no artist, so why recreate me with your insight? And what of Sartre? I know his queasiness, often go to bed with it even court it some days. I find no greatness in the discovery of responsibility. That kind of thinking is gray dysphoria. I do not have to read his plots for that. I am acquainted with the color. It is the backdrop for most of my scenes. In this room, this parallel pause here outside reality's pressing gaze the nausea is patient. So I wonder. Is it only my talent for embracing delusion or do you have these feelings too? I thought I saw them bloom once like red poppies in the light of my own narcotic spirit. But you were compelled by an appropriate drought and they withered in the shade of your consciousness to boundaries. What is your insight to me, when dreams are realized as nonsense? CK Tower |

AMORE DI SIERRA
Don't fade away, always stay In my eyes - desert mirage, silvery haze In my mind, your eyes so kind Your touch so soft, your kisses that amaze Your beauty I'll remember always My Western dream, ocean love. Don't fade away, always stay In my heart - Pacific blue, Sierra love In my dreams, or so it seems The one I am chasing, laughing the breeze Of air-conditioned lies, so hard to please My Pacific blue, Sierra love. AJF September 1996 |
Il tempo spazza il pavimentoNight rain trickles down the window As I sit and stare into the dark Looking for hope Finding nothing Fleeting memories Brush at my mind Regrets are too late now. Only Time is left But Time sweeps the floor. di Tony Fenton

Estratto da Faultlines
Gradually the road climbed out of the groves and away from the unassuming scenery to the higher ground where suddenly the unsurpassed beauty of the land broke out to engulf him. It was like a starburst of crystal pure light from which everything in sight was composed, ethereal to the point of making you cry from the sheer improbability of such a place existing. The further into the interior Jason drove, the more the place had an effect upon him. Each passing mile added both awe and wonder and subtracted something from himself. His standing as a person was diminished as the mountains soared above him, dwarfing all ego and self-esteem. The craziness of his trek faded, finding Cassie started to lose out to the scenery. Halfway along the Tioga Pass Road was Tenaya Lake, the water a perfect mirror to the Yosemite of light, such that there were two skies, if that could ever be. It became hard to tell which way was up, in this country of such beauty he felt as though he had lost his way. It was transitory only in that it constantly changed, nothing was ever lost, merely changed form. He almost drove past her car, parked in a scenic turnout in the softness of Tuolumne Meadows. Backing up, he parked next to her car and wandered down to the river. Cassie was sitting on the riverside, feet dangling in the ice-clear water, staring out blankly across the alpine meadows. Traces of recent tears down each cheek, eyes slightly puffy and red. "You've been crying". The observation just sounded lame and as soon as he had said it he regretted it. Cassie looked up at him, not even surprised that he was here almost as if anything magical could and would happen in this majestic land. "A ranger once said if you only have one day here then go sit down by the river and have a good cry." |
