While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.

Shaadi Gheet

When I am married there will be no magic words there will be no transformation just a white-dressed girl and we will tie ourselves together with a spoken solemn vow and we will fight for one another till they lay us in the ground

[berserai]

You Have What I Look For

You have what I look for, what I long for, what I love,

you have it.

The fist of my heart is beating, calling.

I thank the stories for you,

I thank your mother and father

and death who has not seen you.

I thank the air for you.

You are elegant as wheat,

delicate as the outline of your body.

I have never loved a slender woman

but you have made my hands fall in love,

you moored my desire,

you caught my eyes like two fish.

And for this I am at your door, waiting.

Beautiful

Prayer

Every day I want to speak with you. And every day something more important calls for my attention—the drugstore, the beauty products, the luggage I need to buy for the trip. Even now I can hardly sit here among the falling piles of paper and clothing, the garbage trucks outside already screeching and banging. The mystics say you are as close as my own breath. Why do I flee from you? My days and nights pour through me like complaints and become a story I forgot to tell. Help me. Even as I write these words I am planning to rise from the chair as soon as I finish this sentence.

“Prayer” by Marie Howe, from The Kingdom of Ordinary Time.

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.” ― W.B. Yeats, The Land of Heart’s Desire

Watch: Our Love Is A Garden - Wilder Adkins

Watch: Our Love Is A Garden – Wilder Adkins

Wilder Adkins’ songwriting gleans as much from the earthy poetry of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver as it does from the works of folk luminaries Richard Thompson and Bruce Cockburn. He’s a true theosophical spirit, arrestingly taciturn, but possessed of startling guitar skills, a wit as dry as October leaves, and a tremulous, dented voice that cuts to the soul.

WILDER ADKINS

On our roster: Wilder Adkins

Hope & Sorrow (Self-Released) Release Date: April 8, 2016

Press Contact: Madeline Hassett

Wilder Adkins’ songwriting gleans as much from the earthy poetry of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver as it does from the works of folk luminaries Richard Thompson and Bruce Cockburn. He’s a true theosophical spirit, arrestingly taciturn, but possessed of startling guitar skills, a wit as dry as October leaves, and a tremulous, dented voice that cuts to the soul. His courtly-but-witty lyrics evoke a Deep South Shelley or Yeats, riding a joyful guitar dexterity.

Adkins hails from Marietta, GA, but now lives and writes in Birmingham, AL. He grew up listening to his dad play renditions of Neil Young and Van Morrison songs on an old Guild Jumbo Acoustic. Some time spent in India helped to expand his melodic sense and also provided a chance to learn Hindi. Adkins songs, steeped in natural imagery, frequently touch upon the subjects of faith, doubt, and as the title of his new album would indicate, hope and sorrow.

His video for “Our Love is A Garden” reflects his poetic spirit. Directed by New York-based filmmaker and photographer Marcus Tortorici, the video is starkly lit yet full of life. Nature, light, and darkness comingle and create a cinematic back-drop to his album’s first single.
