- The Pool The waters wear The reflection of a leaf like antique emboidery fallen from the sun! It is timeless when nature indulges in a whim a rare diversion; What do you say when the winds come surreptitiously unfasten the delicate threads from the surface of the pool and sew a frayed and convulsed decor? It is in silence that I watch the waters turbulent and mad near the reflection, sparse, dimunitive, dying and calm at the edges of the pool. GEMMA RACOMA Nor Thou, O Glittering Star The secret of the Metaphor of Star-system. To rule: being only man, talent is sufficient. No talent is always Star. No hope always jar nor go too far to become a Star. No Star is metaphor. C. Y. EXGE Summer Reachings (a sonnet) think twice before reciting the spell of aural verse, now is the perfect moment to think and to dwell on the calligraphy of the wind, as raindrops beat the million drums to a crescendo like an endless litany of death sung by pilgrims on a far-off promontory shore, what lies beyond the caprices of the eye? when one searches for mystery, it's like searching for the end of eternity culminating into a febrile nightmare, when the mind speaks of the senses' dioramic domain encumbered, think though the mind never grapples the summit of perfection 'cause in the mimeses of creation lies a mystery within a mystery while in the ritual of the mind the deaf must listen to an unspoken melody and the blind must peruse its unwritten notes.
