  • Night Hope on November 20


    "Poets to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!
    Not to-day is to justify me, and answer what I am for;
    But you, a new brood, native, athletic, continental, greater than before known,
    Arouse! Arouse—for you must justify me—you must answer.

    I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,
    I but advance a moment, only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.

    I am a man who, sauntering along, without fully stopping, turns a casual look upon you, and then averts his face,
    Leaving it to you to prove and define it,
    Expecting the main things from you."


    ~ Walt Whitman (1819–1892), from "Leaves of Grass", 1900

    "To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."
    - Mary Oliver, from “Blackwater Woods”

    I Think Continually Of Those Who Were Truly Great

    by Stephen Spender

    I think continually of those who were truly great.
    Who, from the womb, remembered the soul's history
    Through corridors of light where the hours are suns
    Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition
    Was that their lips, still touched with fire,
    Should tell of the Spirit clothed from head to foot in song.
    And who hoarded from the Spring branches
    The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms.

    What is precious is never to forget
    The essential delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs
    Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth.
    Never to deny its pleasure in the morning simple light
    Nor its grave evening demand for love.
    Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother
    With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit.

    Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields
    See how these names are fisted by the waving grass
    And by the streamers of white cloud
    And whispers of wind in the listening sky.
    The names of those who in their lives fought for life
    Who wore at their hearts the fire's center.
    Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
    And left the vivid air signed with their honor.

    in the soft mists she finds that reality isn't broken..
    light shifts and speaks to her in a voice that sounds like jimi and he sounds so smooth
    that she can almost taste him slide down her throat..

    is it over yet?

    hows it going sexy man?

    You are here, yes.
  • apples fell on June 27, 2008

    Hello you. I was just looking around my jaunty pill account and I realized you commented on my poem "most wondrous thing"...Thank you. But I no longer will be using that account. This is my new and permanent pome wall. I needed a change and something that would reflect my new-found maturity as a writer. If I have not told you that yet, I merely forgot.

    I'm going to take a quick look at your stuff and leave a comment right now, if I can.

    My husband told me that maybe just maybe I might get to move to Georgia this year.. How's that for news?

  • Night Hope : For My Beloved Friend... on May 27, 2008


    Ode to a Gardener


    I hear him toiling in these fertile fields,
    drenched in immaculate moonlight;

    I weep for Beauty's sake,
    aware of the depths of impermanence,
    the grief felt when a single petal falls.

    I sigh for the elegance of his task,
    aware of jagged breaths in shadows
    as he kneels in the nurturing soil.

    He is weary, but cannot bear
    the thought of a single seed
    left unattended by Love's tender hands.

    His humility,
    his Grace
    alters the simple rhythms
    of my aching heart

    & the universe grows quiet,
    listening to his symphony
    in stuttered amazement.

    Stars fall from this vast night sky,
    spreading light around my hearth,
    illuminating my path.

    There will come a day
    when a sweet pea shall bloom
    in nascent splendor,

    understanding
    & accepting

    the magnificence
    & mercy

    within his knowing
    brown eyes...

    You sure about that, Scribe???
  • Nam on March 26, 2008
    Dude, I bought your book, and every single page is blank, except the first one which says, "HAHA!" with a ugly kid pointing at me.

    Man, I want my $14 bucks back, or fawn, whichever works for you.

  • Catressa : Hey handsome.. on February 26, 2008
    you know I am standing in my kitchen last night and got to thinking about you..

    I wondered honestly wondered how you were doing.. I was making up some sweet tea for I went to bed, and realized that tea is kinda like friendship?

    It has to steep for a while to be any good.
    I feel that way about you. We can go for weeks without talking and I know that even if its only just two bits of sentences, its a treasure.

    I love you darlin, and wanted you to know that.
    I love you when your ranting, I love you when your soft, but mostly? I just love you.

  • Night Hope : My Review of Rob's Book... on May 22, 2007

    I met Rob on a poetry website several years ago. I was immediately enamored of his powerful truth, his ability to tell a story with the utmost courage and respect dancing within his words. His is a voice of a lost and found generation; his poetry is classic, lovely, raw, profound and will leave you shaking your head in awe. His love of nature is obvious; his devotion to his family and his friends is legendary. He will laugh when he reads this review, because his humility and admiration for Kerouac and Ginsberg is well-known. I've been reading and writing poetry for over 34 years now; he truly IS better than most ~ as a poet, as a man, as a human being. Gift yourself. Prepare to be amazed. I always am.
