Bourbon Street

Only the noise of my steps,
falling in the mist of the night,
shy under the petals of the Universe
Moon is the female hunting
the lions in a desert of peace

Fingers stealing the notes from a song
found in the dark of Bourbon Street

The pale light above my see-through back
shines the heart beating, in the blood of the sound,
born from a rose and a guitar
I dance with the stars, I sing with the wind,
I step where the track follows
the instinct;
I jump to the moon in a vibration of
my own body, drawn in the smoke
from the sand of my feet –
for her smooth face poisoning my sight
will cry a tear of passion to swallow

…while there’s Moon over Bourbon Street!!!

    Guys, sorry for the shameless link here, but please take a look, I’m sure it would be something all people who feel deeply about the illegal Iraq war would be interested in. I’d like to get linked on this site but can’t see any way to contact the webmaster.

    I have recently been building a site for a client who is an author and a graduate in law and history from the universites of Glasgow and Edinburgh. He has put together an impressive anthology of anti-war poems written in the style of respected poets from the 15th century to the present day. The complete anthology can be found here;

    Come have a look, all comments welcome!
