Beyond the Waterfall's Edge

I take you silently in the dark
Like a raindrop falling from a rose,
Ravishing you slowly and smoothly,
Oars gliding to a gentle rhythm,
Tendrils floating down an invisible stream.
The darkness can contain us no longer;
We dissolve in a lightning flash
And the life of a rainbow dancing.

  2. You really have a way with word. Most numbers people don't. The 2 are controlled by different sides of the brain. You are really special.

    Oh, love the poem.

  4. Jach, actually I wrote this a few weeks back, some time after the June Dreams poem, but was too shy to post it till now.

    Lexie, actually I find you have a way with words. I find I have to grind them out... I'm a tinkerer, that's a tinker-er, an Irish philosopher who hesitates a lot - I don't have the Irish gift. Having said that, the above poem pretty much just came out. But the inspiration which gives the idea for a poem doesn't come that often. When it does, perhaps in those rare instances I'm using the right side of the brain, but then I think maths, like music, also uses both sides of the brain.

    Cyn, it's not about a night trip on the water? You see right through me, lol.

    Dryad, guardian of the golden wood, I'm really glad you liked it!

  6. :^) Inspiration comes like the morning dew, in small quantities, and before it can be captured it vanishes into a haze.

  7. :) that's why you need a muse of your own. the one who will blow the wind of inspiration gently trough your ear. :) an artist always needs a muse ;)

  8. *blush* I think rather the muse is whatever inspires us. All my contacts have inspired me at one time or other with your comments or blogs or answers on Y!A. So thank you all!!

    But I don't find my rare creative moments come that way. Maybe a true poet would be able to turn that inspiration into poetry, or like Waterhouse into art. But for me, it is always an idea, a really good idea that just has to be turned into something, and the idea can come from anywhere. And the same is true in mathematics also.

  9. so, you're in YAHOO!ANSWER too? i used to hang there a lot. but i'm not smart enough to answer those questions, lol.

    well, people like waterhouse turned the idea into painting and people like jach turned idea into words. you can do it too ;) you're a talented man. don't save it all for your self. share it with us. :)

    mathematic is always a charm for me. but unfortunately, i'm not smart enough to understand it or to applicate it.

  12. The idea comes rarely and it might come "from a muse" or it might come from nowhere, and if it's a really good idea, it will have to be developed for its own sake, though there might be added motivation to do it "for a muse", or in the case of this site for all my lvely contacts.
