Konrinzai

They came with a laugh that tickled the air
a pride that desired the world
and a lightly lilting lullabye that echoed in the deep.

Is páistí as Éirinn iad.


"Konrinzai"

Eyes awake
Sun brushing just under the horizon
I trace my dreams upon the ceiling
Early morning lies

He is the one who cries at weddings
flowers in her hair
Blushing bride
Staring groom
He watches, teary eyed, from within the world

I am he
And so I dream
of my someday wedding
and my someday girl

Wandering in the world.



"kOnrinzai"

Her smile is a blessing
her eyes are my captors
her lips the blessing's dressing...
...sweet in their division.

Her hair is a golden waterfall
her hands are the mumbling whispers of thunder rumbling
her laugh a fresh mountain spring...
...tickling and trickling over the cliffs.



"koNrinzai"

Is a word between my God and I
a moment of sunshine wriggling through the cloudy sky
like great big hands upon my shoulders
Making bolder the honest laughter in me

Ocean swells
deep and wide
these gentle cretures hide within
Great hands carving out the briny trough
Pale light drifting beneath the waves



"konRinzai"

dYrUeMaEm...

night light vision listing beneath my eyelids
sleep
slack sails mourning amongst the doldrums
Steady tide

In you I c...
In you I con...confide

Sea trodden trousers crusted with salt
He washed up upon the shore
the others died.



"konrInzai"

melting snow around the mud
sloshing hooves
turn wheels
cracking whips

The Orphan of Kizu stares at the gates

merchant train trickling in
hired guards taking their pay
away for the night to spend

good coin on cheap ale and stale bread

he watches from beneath the stair
orphan boy shivering in the cold
open door making clear the drunken revelry

the inkeeper's wife handing him a plate
a kindly smile upon her aged face
steam, rising from the hashed potatoes
snowflakes on the mutton



"konriNzai"

Small child
weary and wild
come in out of the woods

I saw the smoke
I heard the cries
Iezer Wafe shouting over the din
Townspeople rallying against fiery eyed men
Dark handed bandits

Wipe your nose
Dry your tears
Eat some soup
Tomorrow we go to Baghem.



"konrinZai"

lately leering
they lazily wing
maliciously

upon the lasy few days they ride
Behind a man made shield we hide
confide in me brother, sister

for here there be mosquitoes




"KonrinzAi"

Dear heart I
Dream of you lately
and wonder why
Dreams must suffice
While I deny
this ravenous
terrible
beautiful beast within.

This beastly desire
I long for you

Wife,

I know you're there

live and move and breathe

and know that I love you.

I beheld you there
In amongst the sun dressed trees
My Queen of nymphs
Dancing upon the falling leaves...



"konrinzaI"

a fierce cry
a moonlight blossom
a shy glance

Stars blinking on the rippling mirror
pondering his fearful eyes
she looks
he hides
cherry blossoms casting shadows upon his face
Swollen moon breaking the darkness in The Garden.


For a friend...

Bless you sister, I hope my musings bring to you a smile and whatever else you need.
