Fires

A Love song and a Lust song too.





Fires  -  11 Mar 16

Passion burns so brightly
Fired by the spark of Love
The fires of passion
Burn within
Often invisible
Except to the one
Who shares
The fires





The fires do burn brightly.

Wind Hair

A tiny observation.





Wind Hair  -  10 Mar 16

Every which way
Grabbing
Through unpredictable
Directions





I said it was tiny.

Exploring ~ Places

The way the world calls in so many voices and ways.





Exploring ~ Places  -  09 Mar 16

Sometimes I have been there
Now I take a deeper look
The world has been calling
For so long
And so I go
Forests whisper
Oceans sing
Calling
Always calling





How can we not answer?

Birdsong Journeys

A little observation while on the move.





Birdsong Journeys  -  08 Mar 16

Walking
Listening as I go
Birds tell tales
Of territories
And journeys
To distant lands





All you need is keep your ears open.

Opening Doors

I do not know how to categorise this poem.





Opening Doors  -  07 Mar 16

Opening doors
Feeling to be in the flow
Allowing the movement
To sweep me along
Toward the
Opening doors
Of an expanding life





After you read it let me know what you think.

Sunrise

Another of the spell sequence.





Sunrise  -  05 Mar 16

Beng aware
The sun is rising
Knowing that I should not
Be here any longer
But my desires
Are more powerful
Than my mind
And so I stay
Enticed by the way
You hold me
Held in a welcome trap
The first rays
Touch me
And the spell is complete





The Lady is a wonderful Spellcaster.

Dreaming A Kiss

One of the Loveliest types of dream.





Dreaming A Kiss  -  05 Mar 16

In the depths of sleep
A dream
The taste of you
Fills me
The dream of your kiss
Warms and stimulates me
Waking makes it reality
And the dream continues





Keeping my lips [and me] warm.

Conversations

Everybody has been through this at some point and some people still continue with the conversations.





Conversations  -  04 Mar 16

In my mind
Words drift
Forming sentences
I never know
Whether I am talking
To myself
Or talking to you
But
The conversations
Continue
And the whispers
Im my mind
Whisper on





This poem was, in part, inspired by an old Cilla Black song of the same title.
Are you old enough to recall Cilla?

Phantasms

An almost nightmarish little poem for you today.





Phantasms  -  03 Mar 16

Darkness draws a curtain
Of rain
Around my world
Wind shapes the night
Into phantasms
To taunt my mind
Wind gives them voice





The wind has many different voices.

Spelling

The tale of a Spellmaster.





Spelling  -  02 Mar 16

She wrapped words
Around me
She had mastered the art
Spells were her speciality
Used with skill
She ensnared me
Kept me for herself alone





And how she managed to keep me.

Dragon Lyre

A little Dragon song today.





Dragon Lyre  -  01 Mar 16

Skilled fingers dance
Across the strings
Dragons smile
With approval
The lyre sings sweetly
Dragon peace reigns





Dragons really Love music.

Stars Are Watching

A Passionate Love song today.





Stars Are Watching  -  28 Feb 16

We started a new move
Slow gentle turns
Into a place where we
Could shift into Passion
In full view of the stars
As they watched
Our slow fire
Burning bright
Rivalling the stars





The flow of Passion is really Lovely.

Always And Forever

The pledge of Eternal Love.





Always And Forever  -  27 Feb 16

A pledge
Promising eternity
Starting with a kiss
Laying a path
Across all the worlds
For us to fullow
Sharing our Love





Reaffirming an agreement made at Soul lever.

Dreaming

A Love song in two states, dreaming and waking.





Dreaming  -  26 Feb 16

Dreaming
Drifting with soft caresses
Floating into kisses
She took me
Into the far reaches
Of where dreams normally
Go

Waking
Drifting with soft caresses
I smile
You are here





I Love both states.

Dayscape

A small offering today with an element of fantasy.





Dayscape  -  25 Feb 16

In the hollows of the day
Tiny worlds blossom
Capturing momentary sunlight
In the lantern of a dewdrop
The forests of our memories
Wave the day into movement





An ancient theory stated that winds were caused by trees waving their branches around.

Secrets In The Pre-Dawn

A Lust song from the secret places.





Secrets In The Pre-Dawn  -  24 Feb 16

Before the sun can rise
Dawn hesitates
Waiting for our move
Lips caressing our ears
Gentle almost silent words
Arouse us by our secrets
Secrets wake us to the dawn
Before it is born





Secrets and kisses ~ Lovely.

Touching Without Touching

This was inspired by the concept of distant contact and thus it is also indirectly connected to the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence of poems.





Touching Without Touching  -  23 Mar 16

Mind hands
Reaching for each other
Mind eyes
Watching the reaction

Savouring the sparkle
In the eyes
As the first contact is made
Feeling muscles ripple

Moon kiss inspires desire
Touch in minds
Where only minds touch
Powerfully





I do like the way this sequence of distant connections has developed and will continue to develop.

Wistful Dreaming

I do a lot of this.





Wistful Dreaming  -  22 Feb 16

Awake
But thoughts
Wandering
Daydreaming
Feeling you
In my mind
Feeling we
Together
Preparing to turn
Daydreams
Into wakefulness





I can really recommend this as a Lovely exercise in creation.

Smokey Days

A Love song built from memories...





Smokey Days  -  21 Feb 16

Smokey days
Hours lost in reverie
Combing my Lover's hair
Revelling in the softness
Gentle natural perfume
The way she smiles
Up at me
Autumn smoke
Takes me back to her





...and sometimes they are future memories.

Kisses Given

This is probably the loveliest way to connect with a Loved one.





Kisses Given  -  20 Feb 16

In a darkened room
Secrets shared
Your whispered words
Invited kisses
Your face turned
Toward me
I did not need to see
I could feel your
Warm breath on my lip
Soft kisses given
I willingly give





I feel each breath and every kiss.

Interesting

Another Love song for your delight and delectation.





Interesting  -  19 Feb 16

Feeling the change
Whether the weather
Had shifted
Or if the sea flowed differently
There was a new taste
An interesting flavour
In the air
I realised that I knew
The flavour
I had tasted it so many times
In my dreams
You are always with me





YOU are always with me.

Velvet Rose

A Love song which talks to my memory and my senses.






Velvet Rose  -  18 Feb 16

In my hand
Your gift to me
My memory
Always reminds me
Of how it smells
The velvet rose
Is always with me





Then again, Love songs always do talk to the memory.

Waking Into Dream

A poem about possibly the loveliest dream.





Waking Into Dream  -  17 Feb 16

I woke into a dream
Cautiously I stepped forward
Looked around
Saw you watching me
A gentle smile
Called me on
Reached out
Took me by my hand
I was home





Wishing dreams like this for You too.

Dawn Treads Softly

Sometimes even the birds wait quietly for the rising sun.





Dawn Treads Softly  -  16 Feb 16

In the silence
Of the dark
Before the sky is painted
With colour
Gentle footsteps
Mark the moments
Shape the thoughts
Of the day
Until...





But when the majesty is awakened...

Night Hunter

A short poem with an almost nightmarish quality to it.





Night Hunter  -  15 Feb 16

Dark not relieving me
The essence of night
Shapes the thoughts that haunt
Scratch the dream
From me





A little different to my usual offerings.

She Drew Me In

A Lust song today with an element of Love song.





She Drew Me In  -  15 Feb 16

She drew me in
Taking my dreams
To another level
She walked through my mind
Without bounds
Her fingers raked my thoughts
As embers
Trying to rekindle them
Knowing that I could not resist





Walking through my dreams too.

Unexpected [Acrostic]

This is an acrostic with a strong element of "limite surréaliste" to add a little spice.





Unexpected [Acrostic]  -  14 Feb 16

Under ashen skies
Night comes to claim the day
Evening washed dreams into phantasms
Xanadu seems too far now
Perhaps it was just a dream
Rubicon reflects a journey
Cross great divides and burning stars
Thunder seals an opened door
Even windows with no light within
Dark night dark dreams





I really like the effects created by the acrostic structure.

Dreaming You

Another Love song transcending space and time.





Dreaming You  -  13 Feb 16

Dreaming you
In the moment when
Rain drums against my window
I hear your whisper
Your voice
Just a little sound
Perhaps an heartbeat
And I know
You are here
With me
And our dream is complete





The best dream ~ YOU.

NEWS [Dragons Dance]

Another poem / song about Dragons.





NEWS [Dragons Dance]  -  12 Feb 16

North
A realm of ice
Where Dragons dance
Through snow castles

East
Wind blown sunrise
Warms Dragons dance
In the dawn

South
Fire follows the steps
Of the Dragons dance
In their play

West
Ocean waves travel from me
The Dragons dance
To call you





With an element of the mystical too and just a touch of the Five Thousand Miles.

Tingles

I do not really think this poem needs any explaining.





Tingles    11 Feb 16

On my back
Follicles flexing
Dancing in anticipation
Expected touch
Does not happen
Shivers get stronger
Tingles rule my body





Smiling a lot.

Doors Of Sunset

An invitation to a special journey.





Doors Of Sunset  -  10 Feb 16

Dark winter
Shattered ice
Drops from the skies

Another time and place
The doors of sunset
Open to the stars

An invitation to the journey
Between the suns
The doors are always open





Would you like to come on a journey?
