Songs In The Afternoon

Audio observation ~ open your ears and listen with me.





Songs In The Afternoon  -  25 Sep 14

Singing in harmony
Counterpoint
Rhythms persuasive

Echo across the valley
In misty afternoon sun
Voices heard clearly

Baritones, tenors
The voices I hear
Cows





Did you enjoy the song?

Midnight Dance

Just a little playful piece exploring a special dance.





Midnight Dance  -  24 Sep 14

Across the sand
In circles round
Beneath the moonless sky
Clothed in stars
Iridescent gems
To light our way
In the midnight dance





Dancing on the sand in starlight.

Unmasked

This poem was inspired by the feeling that someone was looking deep within me.





Unmasked  -  29 Se 14

Eyes
Like fire
Burned away my disguises
Tore the masks from my face
Showed me as I was
Read me
Like a book
Understood
What I wanted
What I was offering





I think she liked what she saw.

Night Mists

Another poem which was birthed after seeing the mists at night.





Night Mists  -  21 Sep 14

Night wrapped in grey
Tendrils shroud the lamps
As night walks slowly
Into the town
Owls silent
In the dampened air
Hunters silent
In the mists





Little observations.

Essences

Another Love song with more than a hint of Lust song added in for interest.





Essences  -  20 Sep 14

Breathing you
Every moment
Taking you in
Feeling your essence
Wrapping me
In you
Seeing you
Golden nectar
For my eyes
Holding me with you
Touching you
Touching me
Together





I hope you are enjoying these Loving Lusting offerings.

You Touched Me [Acrostic]

Another Love song, Lust song, Acrostic.  I Love mixing my genres.





You Touched Me [Acrostic]  -  19 Sep 14

Your secret touch
Overwhelmed me
Unexpectedly

Taking me to new levels
Over anything I have felt
Unlimited Love flows
Changing the way I feel
Holding me in your arms
Embracing me raising
Desire

Merging
Endlessly





There will be more acrostic poems before too long.

Defining

A special Love song just because . . .





Defining  -  18 Sep 14

Soft satin hues
Beautiful blues
Are you in my mind

Subtle fragrance
Honeysuckle smooth
Reminds me of you

Music in my mind
Plays the dance
That is you ~ for me

These things and more
Claim to define you ~ impossible
Because you are unique





Impossible to define YOU.

Wind Songs

Lying in bed about to enter sleep, I listened to the wind and watched the images which were conjured up by the sounds I heard.





Wind Songs  -  17 Sep 14

Wind telling his tales
Listen to me
I am the rain
Pouring through the leaves
Bringing water to the Earth
Listen to me
I am the sea
Thundering against the coast
Singing with the rocks
Listen to me
I am the spirits
Rattling your window
Come to say hello
Listen to me
I am the Earth’s Soul
Whispering your name
Constantly





Just a little hint of a Love song here too.

Sweet Thoughts

Another "thoughts" poem, quite self explanatory I thnik.





Sweet Thoughts  -  16 Sep 14

Sweet thoughts
Honey infused fills me
Brings you into my world
Again and again
Holding the memories of
What will be
More powerful
Than anything from my
What was





At least my thoughts say it is fully explained.

Crystal Thoughts

A little poem with a hint of "limite surréaliste" to it.





Crystal Thoughts  -  16 Sep 14

Open eyes
Amethyst light
Open mind
Colour flows

In the edge of your vision
Corner of your eye
Veiled by a simple tear
Wrapped by your thoughts

Moments in the Eternal day
Riding crystal visions
Into the light
Amethyst shows





There seems to be an Amethyst theme appearing in some of my poems recently.

Night Wind

A little nocturnal Love song.





Night Wind  -  14 Sep 14

Wind in the night
Branches carry
The happy sighs
From you to me
We enter our dream
To share the thoughts
Of all our futures





Listen to the sighs.

Breeze

Personal experience ~ standing at the window without
a tee-shirt and ...





Breeze  -  13 Sep 14

Breeze
Runs fingers
Through my hair
Across my skin
Goosebumps chasing
Triggers thoughts
Memories of a future
Wishing it was you





Lovely thoughts passing through my mind and some of them lingered.

Gates Of Dream

With elements of at least three genres, I present this poem.





Gates Of Dream  -  13 Sep 14

Gentle touches
Exploring caresses
Opening the gates
Letting the dreams slip
Out to play

Dreams play
In unexpected ways
Once the gates open
Touches and caresses
Fire the play

Play the dream game
Allow it to take you
Into new places
New sensations
Past the gate





See you by the gates and we can play.

Seven Veils

Observed dances in the evening.





Seven Veils  -  10 Sep 14

Sun dancing on my wall
Seven veils
With the trees
Flicker glimpses
Dance across the sky

Farewell dance of the day
Last veil falls
Moon takes the stage
Whirls through the evening
Leaving stars in her wake





Light play.

Wandering I

This poem has a sense of otherwhen-ness about it, with an essence of "The Farewell Fragments" too.
It is also clearly another Love song.





Wandering I  -  09 Sep 14

She watched
As I walked across the sands
Alone
In my thoughts
I wandering
In the pale light of the moons
My eyes drawn
To the distant lamps
Of the ships
Across the shimmering sea
And a tear fell

Still watching
She knew
She
Said come home
You have wandered
Too long my Love
It is time to return
To me





A couple of little points ~ the word "moons" is not a typo and in the title that is a capital "I" and not a Roman "one".

Smile From When

The smile which comes when your smile is seen.





Smile From When  -  07 Sep 14

In an opening
Between then and when
A smile seen
Light of Love shines
From the smile which covers
Your whole face
Illuminates my life
With your Love





Another Love song ~ were you expecting something else?

Tired

This poem was born on one of those afternoons when mind and body really did not want to do anything but sleep.





Tired  -  06 Sep 14

Eyes want to close
Brain shuts down
Time passes
Dreamless
Only indication
Hands on the clock
Somewhere different
Again





These usually happen on hot summer days ~ not in September.

Secret Imagination

Though this poem has a dual date only the title appeared on the first day.  I called it up to prepare it for posting and realised that none of the actual poem existed.  In that moment the poem formed and I decided that I would post it today anyway.





Secret Imagination  -  05 & 11 Sep 14

Playing with thoughts
Allowing them to flow
Gathering you up in my arms
Taking you on a special journey
To a place only we can know

A place where touches build
On touches
Whispers grow into words
Our desires flourish and
We build them into reality





I suppose this is a mild Lust song.

Dragon Moon

This poem does not seem to fit into any of the usual categories ~ so here it stands.





Dragon Moon  -  06 Sep 14

Once upon a time
Ancient stories once started
To draw you in
I have been there
And under a full Moon
The Dragons walked
Danced their lives
Danced their Loves
As the Moon kept them company
Watched and smiled
As the Dragons flew
Danced with the Moon





A fairy tale in feel but so much more.

Fractured Day

A little poem with a hint of "limite surréaliste" to add a little spice.





Fractured Day  -  04 Sep !4

Light in the cave of night
Illuminates
Echoes from the fractured day
Stirs the dust and sets it free
Cracks on the mirror
Multiple images
Each one a memory
Of a moment
From the day
Fractures always whole
Hold the day
In the dark
Waiting for the dawn





Perhaps spice is not really the correct word but I feel that it is more interesting for it.

Love Speaks

Listening to the words that can always be heard but often not consciously.





Love Speaks  -  03 Sep 14

That interesting feeling
When you know
That everything is going
The way you want
And all your dreams and hopes
Are coming true

Soul speaks to Soul
Using the same language
That Love speaks
Echoes travel down
And all we hear is
Love speaks





Usualy just a whisper but sometimes a shout to wake you.

Artistry

Sometimes the world can be seen in ways that are invisible to other people.





Artistry  -  02 Sep 14

Paintbrush
Soft
Dipped
Lines of colour
Sketched across cloud
Sun
Draws
Shadows
Across the ground
With pencil tip
We
Dance
Through
Painting of the day
And all our lives





I am honoured to be shown the different ways to see things.

September

This was actually written on the first of the month but what I felt in the air seemed to be setting the weather mood for the month.





September  -  01 Sep 14

September winds
Chill and wrapping around
The sun
Taking his warmth

Leaves beginning to fall
Never changing colour
To something special
Just crispy brown fragments

Tomorrow’s sun
Will not see the leaves
Wind will tidy them away
Ready for the next cascade





Hoping that I am wrong about this weather forecast.

And In My Dreams

This poem was triggered by seeing an almost subliminal image of a tweet on the Twitter stream where someone said something about hunting in the woods, my mind took over and created this.





And In My Dreams  -  30 Aug 14

Through ancient woods
I wander
With a purpose
I hunt
Looking for the place
My dreams were hatched

In a hidden glade
I rest
Surrounded by the woven thoughts
I feel
And in my dreams I find
Where you came into them





This is also a gentle Love song.

I Hear You [Acronym Variant]

This poem started out being an alliterative work but it asked to be changed to something different and so this acronym variant was born.





I Hear You [Acronym Variant]  -  29 Aug 14

In the silence
I hear your
Intimate thoughts directed
Into me

Holding a special thought
Even as we connect
Amethyst images fill
Random spaces in our minds

Yesterday is but a dream
Onward we shall go into
Unexplored worlds




I think that it works rather well.

Dreams Fly

Now just a little Love song.





Dreams Fly  -  29 Aug 14

Come fly with me
Reach for the stars
Our dreams can grow
Watch them fly
Lead us into Infinity




When I said little ~ I meant little.

Path

Another little Love song.





Path  -  28 Aug 14

Following
A well-worn path
I have walked there
So many times
On dark days
Or bright Moonlit nights
I know the path well
For you
Are at the end
Waiting




The simple statement is often the best, this is a little Love song.

Between Words

I am not able to get away from Love songs ~ actually I am happy with this so, off we go with another one.





Between Words  -  27 Aug 14

In the space between words
You hold me as we dance
I hold you in the silence
We created for us
Between the words
Our voices are loud
In the silence and we hear
The most important words
That we never have to say
Because we already know them





I just Love, Love songs.

Star Shadows

Another poem in the "limite surréaliste" sequence ~ I cannot think of any  other way to describe this.





Star Shadows  -  25 Aug 14

Whispers
In the night
Star shadows
Coloured crystals
Reflect in our eyes
Flowers painted
On the sky
Clouds
In the planters
Shadows swallow
The sun
As he whispers
To the Moon





I find it quite fascinating how these poems will flow, seemingly out of "nowhere" and into my mind ... or should that be the other way round?

The Garden

An early morning Love song ~ one to be felt as well as read.





The Garden  -  26 Aug 14

Cool tendrils
Dawn mist
Caresses the trees
Wraps us in her web
In the garden
We held each other
In the warmth
Of our Love
When the sun
Covered us
With his warmth
We still held
Each other
As we explored
The garden





Can you taste the dawn mist?
