The Theran Mystique - Volume 3, Issue 1
Poetry Corner by Vanisse
-------------

ALCHEMY

Let's face it:
the it that is unspeakable
the it that is locked here
under my throat like a stone.

Though I cannot uncast my granite
I let a not-quite-petrified finger draw
in the dust, so that its
misplaced particles might
take those unformed tears
and turn them into diamonds.

ODE TO INSPIRATION

Because the sound of an imagined hum
illuminates upon these gentle keys
a light so softly clear
and in the peace
and silence of a midnight reverie
immortal forth our combined creation
appears, a humble dogging of your feet

the tension striving for perfection stays
(each feathered finger's touch so ginger in
its own progression, cautioned not to step
awry--it might disturb this surgeon's hand
that tugs not only puppet bodies' hearts,
but also tethers to our naked souls)
the one manipulation I would find,
of all temptations, irresistible.
