CHIAROSCURO PLEASURES
by
Jamie Dedes
♥
Midnight blue, so long and empty
it swallows the moon to fill heart
and still the strings of that beat
playing amber vibrato on the
dew breezes. It stings with lusts of
whispered secrets, of river speak.
Listen, before the mourning dove.
·
Pink pale love found, lost again.
Time and mind drift on ‘til there sets
a lotus peace. In that place full now
with chiaroscuro pleasures, neither
the moon or the sun, nor even stars.
Pure internal verities, unalloyed joy.

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page.

Jamie, you climb right into my soul and sweep the corners. Truly, this has given me a lingering inner ache that is waving the flag of “Pure internal verities”.
