By Francis Scudellari
A-lone houred drift
In accustomed lying,
I reluctant,
My conscious let go (of)
Self-feeding streams,
Current broken, thought-less
Diversion starved,
A slow flickering flame
Lost in-lapsing,
One last dying spasm
Fore it slips off
To not-being's black vault
Then, now, after
Un-timed lingering pause,
A sudden flash,
Life sparked by memory
Or divine breath (?)
(Re)-birthed in forms random,
Borrowed landscapes
Painted, impulse colored
Droplets, exhaled
Long ago, new-weighted
Cascade down, flood
Chaos-nurturing seas
Sleep's crested waves,
Arrhythmic rise, fall, push
Minded toward
Illogic's free embrace,
Pull from this heart,
A face, e'er locked, (a)-way
Till doubts edge ebbs
And (re)-seeded dreams flow,
Cedes I am, then
Quick-cut carried awake,
Her trailing voice
(Re)-calls my name, spoke once

i love the way you chose to use certain words in this... thought-less,, fore it slips... just for example... an excellent piece.. deep and meaningful....
Thanks Paisley. I've been admiring your poetry for quite some time, so it means a lot to me that you like it.
Francis you need a compilation. I love poetry but sadly it was probably the only thing I ever failed at.I enjoy the foray over here to read your work.
Thanks, as always, Cooper. I need to sit down and print off everything to see what I've got ... but I don't have the first clue how I would go about publishing such a compilation unless it was a small run of my own through an online outfit.
I bet with a little practice you could produce some cool poetry. I'd love to see what you can come up with.
This is such a beautiful piece and so well written. Great job, I love it! Thanks so much for participating in Jane's Inspirations!

"Sleep's crested waves" is such a delightful image.
There is a sense of grandness in your writing. Even the small moments are imbued with the charm of greatness and nobility!
A beautiful write!

Hi thanks for sharing this wonderful stuff, I have also some of my poems translated in English, I am a guy who is trying to write in English and to learn at the same time, wish me a luck
Thanks to you Jane ... I've been in need of subjects for my writing. I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks so much Gemma. I think there's a lot of beauty hidden in the details we often overlook.
Good luck JC, but I think you're doing quite well as I visited your blog and you have a pretty good command of English. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your poetry.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.. the way the words were used was excellent...a lot of thought went into it...
What a wonderful piece of writing. you've managed to capture the living sopirit and sentiment on the page, which is all a writer can ever hope to do. I'm really enarmoured with this piece. Congratulations = )
Thanks Robert. I did invest a lot of time in this one. I'm glad it was well spent :).
Hi BT,
Thanks so much ... that is high praise.
Wow...go away for a little bit and everyone has been flocking to your site. Wonderful Francis. Your poetry is excellent as always. Well done. And others recognize your true creative genius. I'm happy for you. Now, I'm off to another horrendously busy few days prior to my wedding. Take care my friend!

Thanks JD ... I'll be dropping a comment on your new post shortly. I didn't realize the wedding was coming up so soon. That's exciting. Enjoy it and congrats!
