And In My Dreams

Sitting in the dark of early morning and listening to rain and hail beating against my window, Muse started to suggest a few words to start me off on a new journey.  The few words offered were the title phrase.





And In My Dreams  -  30 Dec 12

And

A tender voice
Whispered
Told me of her Love
For me
Promised
Eternity together

In

Waves sang a soft song
Whispering
Telling tales
Of days gone by and
Days to come
Secrets

My

Rose held in both our hands
Whisper soft
Red petals hold our desires
Carry our thoughts
Eternity in a moment
We share

Dreams





Once again I thank my Muse for assisting me.

Stare

Your intense beauty
Flowing from your Soul ... cannot
Help myself ... I stare


Fast

While thinking of you
I remember what we did
and my Heart beats fast


Poser

Changed his position
To appear more attractive
Ecch - what a poser


Lost

Wandering around
Feeling lost, very alone
You are not with me


Darkness

In darkness I sit
Low cloud releases the rain
Day faded to black





More to come...

Six Senses

A poem which grew suddenly and rapidly in my mind, it insisted that I write it out immediately and publish it.





Six Senses  -  16 Dec 12

Tasting your kiss
Drawing us close
To experience

Your warm perfume
Intoxicating
Exciting ~ wanting to please

I reach out
Touch silken skin
Soft smooth inviting

Hearing your heartbeat
As I rest my head
Against your breast

Seeing the Love
Shine in your eyes
I am lost within

Souls moved us close
So we can be
Together ~ forever




I thank Muse for inspiring me and I thank a different Muse too.

All our tomorrows


Pout  -  11 May 10

Said ~ "I'm not happy"
Gave me a pout to prove it ...
I had to kiss it


Suspense  -  12 May 10

Frosted Night [re-written]

The poem first posted here three days ago has been re-written after it was pointed out to me that it could be split into two related poems.
So now I offer the new version, presented as a Tanka and an Haikū envoi.
Hoping you like the new offering.




Frosted Night [re-written]  -  08 & 11 Dec 12

Moon ~ her beauty shines
Encrusted ~ a thousand stars
Frosted night Dragons
Sky diamonds shine brightly
Amid enchanted dreaming

Crystal shards ~ glitter
On fields of velvet darkness
Reflecting the glow




Thanks are due to dani harris for her suggestion ~ I always consider any suggestions carefully...especially if they are polite. [smiling as I type]

Sitting here, thinking
Music running through my mind
Listen ... can you hear?


Radiant  -  06 May 10

Who needs the sunlight?
When I have radiant you
Living in my Heart


Listening  -  06 May 10

Listening for you
Words of Love spoken to me
Only in my dreams?


Hawks  -  06 May 10

Words I have spoken
Snatched in flight taken by hawks
Transported higher


Hinky  -  07 May 10

My reasoning is
Just a little bit hinky
Right yes but ... not quite





There are more to come...

Frosted Night

Another of the late night or rather, early morning, creations when Muse kept insisting that I made a note of the lines that were forming in my mind.  Glad she did because I nearly forgot that I had even created the note.





Frosted Night  -  08 Dec 12

Moon
Encrusted
Frosted night
Sky diamonds shine
Crystal shards
On fields of darkness
Reflect the glow





Not so strange that poems should grow in darkness.

Peruse  -  04 May 10

Soul reading your tale
Peruse the legend you left
For others to see


Imagination  -  04 May 10

Imagination
Taking minds and thoughts...upward
Into playful heights


Dance  -  05 May 10


Dreaming of your touch
Wanting your fingertip dance
Across my body


dani wrote an Haikū and I felt inspired to add one to complete the sequence.
Hers first then mine...

and if i tell you
that i love you a million
times ... will you love me then?

I already love...
your words would be in the way
of kisses I give


Ally  -  05 May 10

Through troubled times
I will get through easily
You are my ally








So pleased to have permission to repost one of dani's Haikū here along with my response.
There will be more offerings soon and maybe a new poem too.

Haikū 35

After a long gap I present another selection from my hand-written archives of Haikū.
All these originate from 03 May 10





Wind 

Strong wind from the sea
Carry thoughts, distant places
To blow through my mind


Darkness 

And in the darkness
Dreams gather in the corners
Waiting to catch you


Lonely

Talking to myself
... again, only I listen
Lonely sometimes though


Unusual

Dream walking, again
I am awake while asleep
Not unusual


Sunshine

Standing in sunshine
Feeling the warmth flow through me
Reminds me of you





There will be more soon.
