beyond that sunset

Just Beyond the Sunset by David Harris

Just beyond the sunset
Someone waits for me
Just beyond the sunset
Lies my destiny

Where the purple mountains
Lie in deep tranquillity
There I’ll find the treasure
Of love eternally

Just beyond the sunset
Waits someone so fair
Just beyond the sunset
All alone they wait there

Their hair is golden
The colour of the sand
Their eyes sparkle in the night
Like diamonds in your hand

Just beyond the sunset
Lies a home for me
Where the world is peaceful
Like a paradise should be

Just beyond the sunset
Someday is where you’ll find me

Funtivity: Soulful Sunday's Poetry Night

EATING POETRY
by Mark Strand

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.

There is no happiness like mine.

I have been eating poetry...

The poems are gone.

The light is dim.

The dogs are on the basement stairs and coming up...

I am a new man.
I snarl at her and bark.
I romp with joy in the bookish dark.

Funtivity: Soulful Sunday

"Tonight, I can write the saddest lines...
Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche..."
- Pablo Neruda

Some time ago, we were discussing about having a poetry night on the island. A few weeks later we're already posting invites, making a list of readers and we've got people talking. It's pretty exciting. We certainly don't know how it will turn out. But what I know for sure: come Sunday night, I will certainly write the happiest lines...you dig?

Thanks Cee for the poster!

Another Day

There will always be days
more beautiful than this.
more sunsets that will burn
with a brighter shade of red
a deeper shade of blue
and the water will hold the reflection
like a mirror in a dream.

But on this day it was this -
a wide expanse of purple
the air turning pink
and for a moment time stood still
in an indigo world
until the sky caught fire
and a sigh broke the silence
when it escaped my lips.
