Bringer of Light
by Marisa Gasper
3/6 & 3/12/07
(Created but always existing)
I was safe in the arms of the light
(Warmth and love, full and empty, all, nothing)
Endless day, never shadow or night
I am guilty of much like Pandora,
Much like Prometheus’ - fire,
I fell from the sky just to find you
(My sin was an act of desire)
(Our one-sided nature was shattered)
The spark of our mischief ignite
The light became contrast to darkness
The day complimented by night
(The shadow was planned but I caused it)
I played my part well but in shame
I will always come after your shadow
(For you are the reason I came…)

Epimetheus’ Box
by Marisa Gasper
3/14/07
He gave her gifts of darkness
Which he kept in beguiling box
He hid it in her wishes
And whispered it into her thoughts
*The box was filled (full) with wisdom
In pieces, together he made
A cruel paradox of temptation
A purpose that man must contain
Epimetheus’ Box is the present
That woman in grace must receive
While obeying “forbidden to open”
Overwhelmed by her curious need

Silence of the Sea
by Marisa Gasper
3/17/07
Woke with memory of her
The girl with seaweed in her hair
His breath had sunken in her chest
His love had just awoken there
*And all that love will ever be
Is in the silence of the sea...
But when he awoke another lay
And lied and said that she had saved
Something was awry it seemed
He kept her all the same
*
The girl had walked a thousand miles
Breathing air like knives…
Pain in every step she took
Made sharp with his denial…
Sea-foam girl of mythic means
Disappear in tide
Linger in the truth of day
The voice of love is silent
*

My Story (Only in my head)
by Marisa Gasper
4/8/06
I wouldn’t want to complicate
Or use what is inside
I wouldn’t want to take advantage of where
You are in your life
I wouldn’t want to cause you harm
Because I am your friend
So I will play out fantasies
Only in my head
I really want to listen to and
Know you once again
It’s been so long since I’ve felt love
That wasn’t meant to end
After all these years of
Separation from a friend
I will play out fantasies
Only in my head
I can’t deny that part of me
Once dreamed of you in time
And made you more than you were able
To ever be in my life
The younger, much more foolish girl
Has become a better friend
So I will play out destiny
Only in my head

Made from Destruction
by Marisa Gasper
3/17/07
Made from the destruction
Fear will leave my eyes
I will be a warrior
Protected by your guise
If I am made from bitter ends
Shiva, make me free...
And when creations are destroyed,
What will become of me?
Places that I fear to go
With you I’ll take the risk
In me resides a faith that binds
A faith that I resist...
On journey of the reasons donned
I make a quest from fate
I place one foot in front of me
And mind the steps I take...

Marisa Gasper Los Angeles, California
www.DelusionalAsUsual.Bandcamp.com. Marisa Gasper doesn't know the word fear, because she pursues her creative visions wherever they take her. Her works explore life, often through sound, and transcend traditional dichotomies in service to healing expansively the rifts between heart and mind, sacred and profane, G*d and philosophy... ~ bio by Betsy Kenoff-Boyd ~Thank You! ... more
