To One by Shamziel, literature

Literature

To One

Tear apart the love poems, Burn the melting glances, Leave the girl or boy in dreams And plunge into your silence, This is where your heart is: Glimmers in a godly eye That drinks in all the earth and stars, Commands all dark and light. Turning in this deep space You know a loneliness That speaks of love beyond yourself, The tears of tenderness, That gathers up all time and space Within a single being; All are loved, for all are one, Everything and nothing.

Slipping Fingers by Shamziel, literature

Literature

Slipping Fingers

We met when I was too young to know what love means, And how it could sting when we say goodbye - The sweet, powdery fragrance that hung about you And your home, mingling with the scratch of embroidered couch covers And the jingle of Westminster chimes from the clock on the stairs In the dead of night - your ghostly kiss against my cheek from rooms away. You held my hand in your cool, soft, fragile one And told me how much it mattered that I was your first grandchild, How proud you were - and I could never believe That I could matter so much to someone who had dozens Of loved ones around her, a circle of loving, supportive smiles.

Cradle of the Night by Shamziel, literature

Literature

Cradle of the Night

My roots are branches, extending down from the heights To snake across the earth and scatter memories of space. I came to this world needing no dreams, But had no peace or memory, and so created them, And launched them back into the midnight sky, Unknowing of the fact that I need no home, No fixed star on which to cast my eyes in longing, Because I will always belong to the infinite, welcoming dark - It wraps silent arms around this earth and cradles me within.

The Spiral and the Circle by Shamziel, literature

Literature

The Spiral and the Circle

I have walked this road, yes, And it still seems to lead downward - Yellow bricks dissolve into a world of grey, Meandering like groundless thought, Though for once I can look at my feet And see which way they point as they go. I feel oppressed by the stillness, Shaken by recent storms; My steps seem so tiny, and I still have far to go... To where? When has this road ever led anywhere but down? Forever spiraling, leading me deeper Until the stillness overtakes me And wraps softly about my mind, Seeping into the farthest corners of me, Stirring parts that long lay asleep. And I see the road is not a spiral, but a circle, With

Winter in the Secret Garden by Shamziel, literature

Literature

Winter in the Secret Garden

In the enchanted garden The flowers still can die - I watch the blossoms curl and fall, Their hearts turned brown and dry. In the once-enchanted garden I sit under skeleton trees; Their black limbs wave in a wicked wind That steals the last of the leaves. My haven's walls have tumbled down, The snow has stormed my keep; A world of white surrounds me now, And lulls passions to sleep - But the crystalline wind shocks me awake And says, 'You will see roses soon - This garden must be swept away Before it returns to bloom.'

Star-Sent by Shamziel, literature

Literature

Star-Sent

Once there was a girl who was in love with the night sky. She had visited planetariums and read children's books on astronomy. She had learned to identify nineteen different constellations and would always look for them on dark, clear nights. She had gotten her father to stick glow-in-the-dark stars and planets to her bedroom ceiling. She had eaten freeze-dried astronaut ice cream and thought it tasted better than anything else in the world. As time passed the girl began to learn about the universe, about things like asteroids and black holes. Little by little she came to know the invisible forces that governed outer space, and the night sk

I'm back!

0 min read

I returned from New York on a very chilly Wednesday night, went straight back to work the next day, and I'm only now recovering from the jet lag. Some nice, bracing thermoses of Wuyi oolong tea really sped up the recovery. :) It was so strange and wonderful to return to my home - much like encountering a former lover who is now a thousand times lovelier, more complex, and more fully present than you ever remembered her, and who is warmly willing to take you back even while you feel small and shabby in her presence. The impression of vibrancy and wonder did not change in the slightest as the week wore on, and I found my whole relationship wit

Water Carnival

0 min read

Hi, everyone! I have a trip home to Manhattan scheduled for next week. I haven't been back in a while, so I feel a bit nervous, but it feels good to be preparing to relocate again. My phone's screen protector shattered two days ago... I took it to the Apple Store, and they said repairs would cost $145, and void any warranty. I took it to another repair shop - they said $90. Since I had planned on it for the future anyway, I'm wondering if I shouldn't just buy a whole new phone on the trip. I've been longing to have a New York number again for some time. At any rate, the camera lens on the back still works fine, and I was very glad of that w

Hello, all

0 min read

I know that I've been quite terribly silent lately, but the fact is that I've been called upon to really examine my life, and what direction I want to take it in. Hope is such a fragile thing, but I think I'm beginning to understand how important it is to nurture it - and where it has the potential to take me. :) I read all your kind words, and I think fondly of all my readers. I just hope more of you feel free to read more than just 'Star-Sent'; while I love it just as much as you do, I've written plenty of other things, and I intend for there to be many more in the future! I will try to put updates here more often. You're all in my though
