Somebody Has...

This came through as I was reviewing thoughts and memories about some people I know or knew and I realised that we all have these feelings, though for most of us, these feelings are way below the surface and will never be seen by others.

You may notice that it is in the form of an acrostic...




Somebody Has... - 10 Dec 09

Bringing her strange thoughts
Into my line of sight
Provoking a response
Out of nothing I thought I had
Laughing, she probes
And requests attention again
Reaching out to torment and
Drag me into strange places
In which she hopes to lose me
Slipping the knot round and
Over and against my neck
Restraining and releasing and then she
Denies it all and at the
End of the day she says it
Really doesn't matter





There are no names here for the simple reason that the 'she' in the poem is a construct and should not be taken to represent any one particular person.

Watching You

This poem took shape during the afternoon and was complete in about an hour.




Watching You - 09 Dec 09

Watching you
Asleep
My eyes follow your form
Settle on your closed eyes
And the warmth of your smile
Are you dreaming of me?
I wish...I wish...
I wish I could join you
In your dreamscape
To play
Among the roses
Along the glittering shore
In the shifting waves
In our Dolphin selves

I know why you are smiling
Let me sleep too





A smile comes to my lips too

Alone

A moments inattention and things can change when you least expect it...





Alone - 06 Dec 09

Sitting alone again
Wondering what went wrong
Where the change happened
Chill winter wind
Claws its way into my room
And wraps itself around my heart
Making my thoughts
Even colder

What changed?
Where did I make the mistake
That drove you away
From me?

You left
So I have to let you go
Tears, frozen by the night
Trapped on my cheek
Along with the dead dreams
Of yesterday





I was feeling quite low when this came through, I felt a lot better in the morning.

Soon, a Kiss

Just another little love song...





Soon, a Kiss - 03 Dec 09

Rose petals
Like velvet
Cascade
Stroke my skin
Please my senses
Awaken
Beautiful memories

She is still
With me and
Ever will be
She is always
In my thoughts
And dreams

Her gentle footfalls
Like soft slow heartbeats
Tell me that she is here
And soon her lips
Will caress mine





This came through when I wasn't actually expecting it...you have to be ready for anything in this business.

Spinning Around

After days of rain, a welcome sight was seen this evening.





Spinning Around - 30 Nov 09

Spinning around in the day
Trying to touch everything...I'm
Blown by the wind
Sprayed by the rain
But...
Having too much fun to
Care

In the darkness
The cloud breaks and
A nearly full moon looks down
And smiles





The moon has been missed here - I hope she hangs around for a bit.

Winters Night

Sitting and relaxing with the cat when this poem came through, triggered by hearing things [see the poem for details] and remembering...





Winters Night - 28 Nov 09

In darkness
Rain lashes against
The window
Wind thundering down
The chimney
Uninviting

Within the room
Warm firelight flickers
And makes the corners
Mysterious
Gentle music
Massages my ears
And my mind

My arms around you
We sit
And we watch
The firemares
Chase around the logs
Dancing in time
With the music

And we both
Are lost in the timeless
Drifts of our memories
Like the smoke
From leaves
In autumn bonfires





Gentle thoughts for a stormy night.

Your Smile

This was a difficult birth...my cat was on my lap and he didn't want me to do anything other than cuddle him, eventually the poem was born and I present...





Your Smile - 25 Nov 09

Sometimes...
In my dreams
You come to me
And you smile
And you melt my heart...
Again

Daylight
Wakes me
And I smile,
Reaching back
Into my dream
To take your hand

Holding
The thoughts,
Dream or awake,
Between our hands
Giving them life
By our love




A dream love-song perhaps...

Dream Flight

This poem was inspired by a night blessing from my friend June who said, "the new moon shines not to earth but to space...taking our dreams way out there..." It didn't take long for this little poem to be born.





Dream Flight - 21 Nov 09

She whispered an incantation
Gently, quietly, in my ear
She rested her hand on my heart
And we took flight
Our dance took us
Between the stars
To follow our dreams
In their flight






Thank you June for your inspiration.

Remembering

A new poem just arrived here, say hello...





Remembering - 19 Nov 09


Remembering
The firelight glow
On a cold winter evening
As we sat and dreamed
Together

Remembering,
What we did do
What we will do
No difference,
Time plays a game

Remembering
Wine as dark as night
Gently prod the fire
Into full life and feel the warmth
Feed the body, feed the soul

Remembering
How we were, who we were
Who we are
Letting the warmth of the memory
Add to the fire's heat

Remembering
Our dreams yet to come
When we walk along
The shores of summer
Hand in hand





Another dream...

Holding Me

In a change of mood today, I present a love song - it sneaked up on me while I was actually doing something else and I took pleasure in setting it down here.





Holding Me - 16 Nov 09

Moment by moment,
You hold me in your hands
Caressing, loving
Soothing my aches
Easing my fears
Loving

In all the moments,
I have felt your energy
Surrounding me
Touching me
Holding my soul
To yours

Our moments fill eternity,
And eternity is in all our moments





I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did writing...
