The title came first and sat in my mind for many hours before the poem actually grew. This has just a little more than the usual "limite surréaliste" elements to it.
Forgotten Trilogy - 31 Jan 14
Unusual words
Charged with meanings
Beyond the expected
Have you heard the songs
That tell the tales
Of ancient mysteries
Sing with the Moon
And chase
A feather on the wind
This poem feels just a little strange to me.
Birthed, as usual, during the night and I felt the images call me.
Love Light - 30 Jan 14
In the morning
Night fragments
Before the sun
Dreams live on
Wrapped in us
We keep them growing
Your eyes
Meet mine
In the sunlight
Love continues to grow
In the fullness
Of our light
Maybe they will call to you too.
This poem ~ another Love song ~ asked to be written during the day and was only finished slightly after midnight.
Moon Love - 28 Jan 14
Moon
Tastes the Love
Smiles
Adds her own
We
Walking in her light
Holding
Each other close
Kissing
In the moonlight
Forever
There is a second poem embedded within the whole of this poem. If you read just the single word lines in order and mentally add one punctuation character ~ a comma ~ in the right place the second Love song appears.
A Love song about what could be the beginning of a relationship.
Perfume Of The Rose - 28 Jan 14
Touching the rose
Opening petals
To reveal the Love within
Damp
Glistening with the thoughts
Of please be mine
And I will be yours
Perfume of the rose
Calling us together
It could be just a recollection of how the song began.
Hearing the hail beating against my window, my thoughts wandered into wanting to be warm and so this poem was birthed.
Winter Warmed - 27 Jan 14
Window opened
To the summer
Once upon a time
Now the fairytale
Has turned and
Winter closes the window
Within the walls
Warm fire burns
Your arms hold me close
Within we now
Love’s fire keeps us warm
Thoughts of winter gone
Hoping the power of sympathetic magic will warm things a bit.
This was not the poem I started to write, somehow it changed and the end result is now completely different.
Message - 26 Jan 14
Watching for a message
From you
I still remember
How our words
Intermingled
Blended
Floated with each other
Through our skies
Through our minds
Message
I am here
You said and
Touched me
Touched my Heart
I think it works but in a totally different way.
It was a dark night and interesting and intriguing thoughts wandered through my mind.
Kisses In The Night - 25 Jan 14
Dark night
Stars sing in chorus
Light from a solo
Candle calms the shadows
Love takes me
Holds me close
Kisses shape themselves
Form a signature
Across my back
I feel her smile
She claims me
For herself
One day I may start to show some of the other levels of my poetry.
This poem came to me and came to be because of some happy thoughts which I shall cherish.
Some Moments - 24 Jan 14
Some moments
Were always meant to be
Some moments
Turn into hours and days
Some moments
Are a lifetime and become
Eternity
When fed with Love
Cherished moments
I hope you have moments like these.
Interesting how an "almost memory" can trigger the formation of a poem. Thinking back into the set of "might have been" happenings can bring out something that may happen.
Knowing - 23 Jan 14
Afternoon
Warm summer sun
Kisses your body
Gentle breeze
Barely stirs your hair
Tender caress
You look into my eyes
And we know
No words need be said
Or perhaps has happened somewhen else.
Nothing I can say about this apart from ~ it feels right ...
Living The Dream - 22 Jan 14
Living in a dream
Holding you
In a warm Loving embrace
Your touch
Has raised me
To new heights
Shivers of pleasure
Chase each other
Around and along
My spine
Suddenly I wake
To know
The dream is now
I share your kiss
We have made our dream
Real
... and it feels good too.
A little poem inspired, in part, by a continuing weather theme.
Whispers On The Wind - 21 Jan 14
Our secrets
Told to the wind
Blustery day
Words scattered
Taken and mixed
Yet they
Remain
Fully understood
By you
And
By me
Our secrets
Come ~ let us whisper them
Again
Another Love song too ...
Happy events conspired and this poem was birthed.
Joyful Wind - 20 Jan 14
In the moment when
We recognised who we are
We saw how
We fitted together and
Our Love sparked
Lit our Hearts
We let the painless fire
Burn our fears
To dull ash
Blown away
By the wind
Of our Joy
I really Love the way things work.
Another little special Love song.
Heart Touch - 19 Jan 14
You touched my Heart
Opened my eyes
To see you
Showed me the wonders
Of how Love can be
You showed me your Heart
Welcomed my hands
When I reached to touch
Held me close
Accepted what I had to offer
Hearts in contact
Always sharing thoughts
Through wordless times
In the silence
Sharing Love
Wordless moments when more can be said than through any words.
Back to the Love songs again ~ feels like coming home.
Secret Thoughts - 18 Jan 14
Secret thoughts
In my mind I have held you
Softly kissed you
Shared me
Shared our time together
Secret thoughts
Held in the space between
You and me
We and the world
World and Infinity
Secret thoughts
Of sensual dreams
Held in the special place
Where only we can go
Together … together
Love song with a touch of sensuality.
Just after breakfast my mind sent the pun into my system, this was reinforced by hearing hail hitting the roof of the conservatory. It was not too long before the poem was birthed.
Winternet - 16 Jan 14
Ice falls
Dancing on the roof
Skittering across the road
Playing the song
Of January
Winter’s arms
Casting the net
Spread wide
Calling to Spring
To fade the winternet
Despite the pun, I feel the poem works rather well.
I am getting a rather strong feeling that I have written something a bit like this before but an equally strong feeling says that it is different enough to let it stand.
Evening Fire - 16 Jan 14
Long slow evening
Warm fire dances
Around the grate
We sit and dream
Sit and remember
How we were
Weave new memories
Of how we will be
In the now
Wrapped in each other
We savour the moment
Let the dreams flow
Sometimes the memories tell their own tales.
A sensual and mildly surreal poem for the offering today.
Fingertips Watching - 15 Jan 14
Touch
Eyes of the body
Fingertips see
As they wander
Lightly dance
Barely breathing
Whisper on the in-breath
Sweet sigh on the out
Fingertips watching
Smile
Bit of a change but ~ change is good.
As I was getting into bed I happened to see the Moon in the far western sky. At that moment I was aware of the title line and, once in bed, was prompted to write the first stanza on my phone. The second stanza arrived in the afternoon.
Unexpected Moon - 13 Jan 14
An unexpected Moon
Watches us as we
Whisper our goodnights
Reflected in your eyes
Her cool light
Becomes warm
Moon watches
As we drift into sleep
Then draws
Her blanket of rain
About her shoulders
And in the darkness ~ sleeps
Fascinating how a random sighting can trigger a poem.
A straightforward Love song ~ illustrating "together" while "apart".
Five Thousand Miles - 13 Jan 14
Listening to the rain
Beating against my window
I feel cold
I shiver
Then I feel you holding me
Even though …
My memory and thoughts
Fill the distance
Between us
And I know …
We are together
Within us
Always
I like the effect.
While looking for something on the Web, several hours ago, my mind suddenly dragged the one word out of its inner recesses. That word became the starting point for this poem which is a "limite surréaliste" Love song. An interesting combination but I feel it works.
Intermezzo - 11 Jan 14
In the space between moments…
First Movement
I hear your smile
Locked inside the rose
Of your Love
Crystals glisten
Tremble in the Joy
Of your laugh
Second Movement
Kisses wrapped in mirth
Friendly smile carries
An open Heart full if Love
We share the time
And tell the tales
We grew
…A gem shines
Another moment opens
My mind does have some deep inner recesses ~ in which can be found ... but that is something for other poems.
A blend of old memories and new wishes brings a new Love song into the sunset moment.
Together At Sunset - 11 Jan 14
Sitting
In the window seat
Watching the sun set
Into the ocean
On a long
Slow
Warm afternoon
Bringing thoughts of you
To sit with me
Listen to the gulls
As they wheel
And cry
Over the waves
Our Eternity
Together
I can clearly see both parts of the story.
Because I saw the word "whispered" in the Twitter stream I was inspired to write this little Love song.
Whispered Conversation - 11 Jan 14
Talking to myself again
I know that you are listening
I can hear your smile
As you hear my words
Especially when you hear me say
I Love you
You whisper in return
And I hear you
Clearly
I Love you
I said there would be more Love songs.
A little poem which grew after I saw the word "unique" and it just seemed to flow.
Unique - 09 Jan 14
Enduring
The image that is you
Still with me
Over all the years
Part of me now
Always with me
Unique you
I Love the way these things happen.
I offer you this token of a Love which grew in the night.
Rose Fire - 08 Jan 14
Rose
Velvet petals
Crimson shades of night
To you I give
This token
My passionate Love
Burns
Passion.
Back to the Love songs again but this time with a hint of something more.
Waking Passion - 06 Jan 14
Music in my head
You danced for me
Slow
Seductive
Barely moving
I could feel your thoughts
Hinted contact
Gentle
Smooth
Fingers wandering
Diamond ring of stars
Watched the dance
Graceful
Loving
Seeing more
We moved together
Welcoming the touch
Waking
Passion
In our eyes
Not too much more is it?
Moving away from Love songs for a little while ...
Purple Night - 05 Jan 14
Purple night
Random images drift
Across my mind’s eye
Sketched against
The sky
Trying to hide
In the field of stars
Still they watch me
Still I see them
And in my mind
Again
They dance
The Love songs will be back soon.
Continuing the theme of Love songs, this one with a slightly different feel to it.
Unexpected - 04 Jan 14
An unexpected touch
Electrifying my senses
Opening a portal
Into another world
Of new and wonderful
Places to explore
You knew how
To release my thoughts
Open me into wonders
I never imagined
You waited for me
In the new world
I arrived
You held me close
Then with a gentle kiss
We turned
Walked together
To explore
I rather like the way these poems are developing.
Talked about them for long enough, thought the time was right to actually write one with the title too.
Love Songs - 03 Jan 14
Take my Love
I offer it to you
Completely
Without reservation
In my mind
I have sung Love songs
To you
Endlessly
I give myself to you
Freely
Sharing me with you
Totally
Hope you like it.
This poem grew just under an hour after I built the last post. It has a different feel but is still a Love song and I am rather pleased with it.
Lifetimes - 92 Jan 14
Lifetimes
We have been together
Watching
Dreaming together
Smiling
Dancing in our days together
Enjoying
Moments of sunset and dawn
Living
Holding it all together
Loving
Love songs seem to be a rather strong part of my life and writings at this time.
Another poem inspired by a small assortment of random word sightings.
Butterfly Of Love - 02 Jan 14
Winter Love
Cold wind
Rain
Dispelled by you
As you watch me
The chrysalis that holds
My Heart
Is waiting for your sun
To warm it into life
I am your butterfly
Also another Love song.
I was watching a movie on television but Muse kept interrupting and requesting that I made notes for this poem.
Starlight - 01 Jan 14
Starlight
The key to open doors
That no one else knew
Existed
You showed me your door
Smiled
An invitation
I sprinkled starlight
It opened
You sprinkled starlight
On the path to my door
Illuminating your way
To me
As I have said before ~ I know better than to argue with Muse.
