Poems from 2005

A small selection of poems from '05, these have a slightly different feel to them...


The candle and the Dark 07 Mar 05

We sat in darkness
Watching the stars
Listening to the sea
Wash across the beach
Below the window
Of our dreams

On the table
Behind us
A single candle
Throws its beautiful light
Into the night
To play with the stars
That light the way
Into the dawn



Shores of Time 27 Jun 05

The unquiet waves of lost loves
Lap across the sands
Of the shores of time

I remember
Those days of our loves
When we said that we would never part

And then we did
Never to be together again
There are the dreams
In which we exist and live for each other
Forever

Now just another wave
Against the sands
Like all the others



Dream Love Song 17 May 05

Hearing your voice
In an unexpected dream
Took me to a place
I did not think I would
Ever see again

On those distant shores
Where we danced
And played with the sea
As he washed the sand
We dreamed our separate toghether thoughts

Now I am awake
And realise that nothing
Has really changed
And our dreams continue,
Into a new dawn

It is only when re-reading these poems that I realise that I tended to be obsessed with the sea, beaches, dance, candles and love - actually this isn't such a bad thing, is it?
