    Crystal Key…

    all password is your everloving language:
    crystal key to unheard music-heights…
    I know you…and your lively spirit’s sweetlights
    make me see each purple distance
    as an April park…a dancing-floor
    a forest in November…

    we remember where we wandered
    how we wondered finding flowers
    twixt the farthest fjords of no man’s land
    my hand in yours, your smile my home…
    our fairy lifelines measured
    long the velvet dome of heaven…
    violet ribbons sparked with rubies
    diamonds…stars…

    all clockwork is your everloving soul
    staying with it…with this time
    that shan’t predict us any ending…
    as I know you’re bending mountainstreams
    around for us to bathe in, rhyming fountains
    springs and creeks to cool our skins…
    withershins, my angel…simply withershins…

    and we are ripening on branches
    even broken ones and twigs…yes…
    those that blossom and bear fruits
    from deep within…
    whisp’ring babyseeds and catkins
    fusing years in silent notions
    having holy aerial rootlets
    laying tenderest emotions
    o’er our dream’s translucency…

    and we…we tell each other miracles…
    all password is our everloving language
    crystal key to you and me…
    to cosmic atmospheres, to God’s infinity…

    Lifeline…

    smokecurls whirling up from dozing farms
    the silver silence of a little baby's breath…
    a tiny suckling in my ten'drest guarding arms
    no roof, no room, no window and no bed…
    approaching dawn a hesitating red…

    I think of ages, ages passed…
    of fleeing partisans and popes
    of wars & wonders, people blessed
    and others hung on lethal ropes…

    I watch the Frisians and the Franks
    the jaden shallows and the moors…
    the wet and wholesome riverbanks
    the softly cracking homesteaddoors…

    I see my ancestors arriving from a'far
    my virgin mothers of the alps…
    they may have followed just one star
    above their mountain's snowy scalps…

    now I'm a child, alone with mine
    embraced by New Yorks naked bricks
    yet I still sense one lucid line…
    one clock that turns and turns and ticks…

    where could we go, where would we end
    this humble newborn life and I…?
    we came, we fought, we weren't sent
    just our dear God, just God knows why…

    Najade

    Dear friends,

    It has been a while since I last added poems or messages to my blog and I am very sorry about that. Life has been hectic for my family and me.
    We have been coping with illness and serious worries about our loved ones...

    Thank heaven peace seems to have returned to our house.

    I do hope you're all well & happy. May spring & summer bring you its purest blessings.

    Much much love to you all,

    Rikki

    a velvet feather…

     

    and with both too little hands

    I scoop my art and blue belles-lettres

    from the scintillating eversands of time…

     

    just some jewels for a viewer

    to behold and to remember…

    birds of paradise, a whisperword

    of love, of light, of peace…

    a praying Aprilbreeze to thrill

    the strings of ice harps in December

    and an avalanche of euphemistic rhyme…

     

    my flying spirit can’t accept

    the ways of war, of hate, of torture

    so I snow my coloured silence o’er the world…

     

    painted roses, tender verses

    gently curled around humanity’s distress…

    never could my smiling soul be doing less...

     

    so I’m brushing city-shadows

    full of friendly hushing graffiti…

    free images to mask all mindlessness…

     

    a blushing child, a charm, a song

    a long forgotten fairy-tale…

    a silver chanting nightingale

    a jukebox playing psalms, a velvet feather

    one that calms the aching heart…

     

    and with both too little hands

    I scoop my poetry & art from musing streams

    maybe artlessly creating worthy dreams…

    Ballad…

     

    oh…not a word…not yet, not yet…
    there’s just this shy forgotten stream

    for which I try to find a bed

    a jaden reed-marsh and a ferry…

    – Charon’s soalboat it might be

    right from an ancient yellowed picture –

    to besail the solemn silence

    and the shive’ring silver sheen…

     

    oh…not a word…not yet, not yet…

    and I have been here for so long…

    there’s just this ever tender windsong

    this aubade of summerdawn, for which

    I’d love to find a willow and some wattle

    to rejoice in – from your bushland

    it might be – a crown of blossom

    and the mellow breath of May…

     

    oh…not a word…not yet, not yet…

    and I have flown so far astray…

    there’s just this whisp’ring veil

    of night-rain o’er the dozing riverclay

    from which I try to model butterflies

    and dainty little flowers, while the hours

    of all ages pass me by…lucid cloudlets

    in an airless opal sky…
                                  

    oh…not a word…not yet, not yet…

    there’s just this shy forgotten stream

    by which an old man ’s kneeling down

    to view his life, to drink and dream…

    he knows my name, he knows my face

    he knows my spirit and my grace…

    – a fairy figure I might be –

    one that’ll always, always light his days…

    You’ll live forever…

     

    every passing has once lasted for a while…

    at times unnoticed, as if none of what went down
    was someone’s need, but evenso a leaping image

    leaving stigma’s on a retina, a ballroom floor

    a flaccid…flinching older face…

     

    rolling water is evaporating artlessly…

    returns from all of heaven, softly whispers

    ‘long low riverbanks and shivers

    in the deepcold of the night…

    it’s grinding grooves in sleeping rocks

    absorbing silence, changing colours

    mystifying fairywinks and light… 


    every sound that has been heard

    bleeds into emptiness and space…

    a spoken elegy, a prayer or the moving

    mellow melody of tender Aprilrain…

    a cry of sadness, hidden fear or heavy pain…                           

    beyond closed lashes thoughts are floating

    o’er the valleys of the mind…they are the sacred

    ones your spirit let me keep here in my haven…

    those that granted me mere peace, while

    I was little, frightened and displaced…

     

    oh, they shall never go to waste, my friend…

    I’ll carry them around each bend in time

    and they shall interlace my poetry

    my bashful whirling artwork and my rhyme…

     

    every passing has once lasted for a while…

    you’ll live forever in my eyes, my friend

    forever in my heart, my soul, my smile…
