Requiem

The origin of this poem has faded.





Requiem  -  09 Apr 16

The dream has faded
Thoughts linger
Requiem
For a sad unwanted dream
A slow quiet hymn
Fades into the silence
Of the surrounding night
Dream and hymn
Fade together





Dreams live on somewhen else.

Mermaid Song

A Love song taught to you by some very special teachers.





Mermaid Song  -  21 Mar 16

You learned the words
So easily
Mermaids sang for you
They taught you well
They also showed you
The ways to enchant
Your Lover
I am that Lover
With pleasure now
We swim together





The Mermaids are wonderful teachers.

We Dreamed

One of those times when, in dream or life, all Lovely things are possible.





We Dreamed  -  08 Apr 16

Sleeping
Not sleeping
There seemed to be
No difference
We were always
In a dream
In our dream
Where all the things
We want
Are possible





When the two states overlap wonders are formed.

Waiting Within

This poem grew while I was waiting in a doctor's waiting room for an appointment.





Waiting Within  -  07 Apr 16

Sitting within my own
Private silence
Listening to
Meaningless  music
Ambient noise
From a radio
Random noises
From a child
Using her father
As an activity centre
I am still waiting





Usually these periods are fairly quiet, just this time not so much.

Mirror Of When

A subtle Love song today.





Mirror Of When  -  06 Apr 16

When I looked into the mirror
As she requested
I did not see me
Only her looking at ,me
In her eyes she held
A subtle smile
The mirror shared
Her mystery with me





The mystery of her.

Edges Of Dreams

One of those poems which does not fall easily into any category but "limite surréaliste" may just fit quite well.





Edges Of Dreams  -  05 Apr 16

Silhouettes of thoughts
Cast by the shadow
Of a dream
In the darkness
Of forgotten worlds
Ancient melodies
Are reshaped and offered
Songs tell of abandoned
Worlds
Where dreams lie
Their edges distorted
By the shadow of the sun
And tears recall
What may have been





I have visited some of these worlds.

Living Dream

A Love song filled with happy sounds.





Living Dream  -  04 Apr 16

Walking beneath an open sky
Thoughts of you
Constantly with me
The trees whisper your name
With every breath of wind
The sigh of the wind
Echoes my own
As I dream you
And you enter my living world
A dream made real
You live in me





YOU live in me.

Setting Sun

A lyrical observation.





Setting Sun  -  03 Apr 16

Dark pastel
Infused with a touch of magenta
Sky painted
With cloud brushes
A sketch drawn
With a pencil of dream
The day is complete
The setting sun
Paints the shadows
In the valleys





I Love watching the colours and patterns that flow at this time.

And I Watch

I think this can be categorised as a Warrior's Tribute.





And I Watch  -  02 Apr 16

The warrior smiles
Takes up his sword
Returns it to the scabbard
Though no one is listening
He says I salute you
With a nod of acceptance
And I watch
As he goes on his way
Again





Really not certain what triggered this poem.

Never Before

An invitation to a Love song dance.





Never Before  -  01 Apr 16

An invitation
Totally unexpected
To form a relationship
To become
Something new
A challenge
To explore something new
How could I not agree?
So
Somewhere I never before
Have been
I am here





The dance is so beautiful.

Exploring ~ Space

Another offering in the "Exploring ~ " series.





Exploring ~ Space  -  31 Mar 16

Worlds out of imagination
Circle stars with no names
We walk beside oceans
Which talk to us
In whispers to stir
Images into being
And walk with us
To tell us of the dreams
The planets are spinning





I feel there are more to come.

Myth Song

This is an exploration into the realm of myth.





Myth Song  -  30 Mar 16

Long ago
Before the stories were woven
From the silk of dream
And bathed in the transient light
Of shepherd moons

The world was young
People still believed
Lived the ways
With open eyes
And open minds

Now we look back
Pick up the strands
Of the unravelled tapestry
And weave again the
Tales of forgotten myths





Shepherd moons are the ones, not necessarily large, which keep the rings around a planet neat.

Whispers Into The Night

A little Love song in the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence.





Whispers Into The Night  -  29 Mar 16

Whispering your name
Into the night
Knowing you will hear me
Five thousand miles
Is but a whisper away





Always whispering.

Soft Dreams

A Love song with a little Lust song added.






Soft Dreams  -  26 Mar 16

Cushioned by sweet thoughts
She held me warmly
Close to her breast
Sharing her Love with me
And the dream takes me
Closer
Into her warm soft embrace
I remain wrapped
Happy





These are the kind of dream I could stay within forever.

Mostly Cloudy

A weather observation ~ one of many.





Mostly Cloudy  -  27 Mar 16

A fiction
As heavy noisy clouds
Ricochet off the roof
Gravel is quieter
When thrown by giant's hands
Wind carries the tales
Of storms across the land
And the mostly cloudy fiction
Is forgotten





The weather app on my phone publishes fiction ~ often.

Crystal Stars

A poem of Beauty with more than a hint of "limite surréaliste".





Crystal Stars  -  26 Mar 16

Infinity sky
Holding a special gift
The stars of the crystal worlds
Reflections of eternal time
Reshaping what we see
In the crystal mists
Moments movements
Crystal stars shine for us
Lighting our way
Into infinity





I Love exploring the infinite possibilities.

Opening

One of the ways when becoming aware can change your life.





Opening  -  25 Mar 16

What you said to me
From your open heart
Caused me to open
To you
Dreams were never
Complete
Till I realised that
Opening to you
Would make me
Complete





Opening to YOU is the best thing.

Waiting

A short poem containing some of the mysteries.





Waiting  -  24 Mar 16

The shadow falls
Across me as I wait
A tree dances with me
Shadows mingling
Carrying the essence
Of an eternal forest





It is Lovely to be able to experience the mysteries.

Veil Of Lace

Another Moon poem, based loosely around the event of an eclipse and some light cloud.





Veil Of Lace  -  23 Mar 16

Covering her face
Veil
Does not hide her beauty
Even shadows
Do not conquer her
She wears the lace
As a trophy
Of her wonder





It is strangely frustrating when eclipses are on the wrong side of Earth or worse, hidden by cloud.

Delusions

This is one of the times when various layers of reality become confused.





Delusions  -  22 Mar 16

Illusions reshaped
In ways never expected
Forms from the past
Fires burn
Images
Deluded
False forms
In false memories
Scorched pictures
Of events
Unexperienced
Delusions cry out
To the illusions
Ask to be made
Whole





All the layers request that each one becomes real.

Mermaid Song

A song of enticement and enchantment.





Mermaid Song  -  21 Mar 16

You learned the words
So easily
Mermaids sang for you
They taught you well
They also showed you
The ways to enchant
Your Lover
I am that Lover
With pleasure now
We swim together





I Love swimming with my enchantress.

Painted Stars

A lyrical observation.





Painted Stars  -  30 Mar 16

Palette of fire
Sunset draws
A dark curtain
Across the day
Allowing colours
To flow from the sky
Painted stars





Can you see the song?

Hearing Smiles

Those moments when your Heart is open and your ears are focused.





Hearing Smiles  -  19 Mar 16

Soft tender sound
Cascade over rocks
Fairy bells
Liquid song fills my mind
Thoughts filled
With the sound
Of your smiles
I hear them





A gentle yet clear sound.

After

A Love song filled with desire and mystery.





After  -  18 Mar 16

Warm gentle glow
Sunset asks the stars
To shine for us

Wind from the stars
Fills the sky with magic
Adds to our dream

Dream carries us
Into places we cannot imagine
Words never used after





Is that not what Love is all about?

Inner Memory

We all have these places.





Inner Memory  -  17 Mar 16

Kept hidden
In all the deep places
Memories in the other
Places
From times which were shared
Places
Which are known to all
Barely hidden at all
But in the inner memory
Past secrets
Shared with nobody
Sometimes
Future memories
Which are never to be shown
Held there





Places which can be shared or hidden.

Smiling

Keep smiling ~ it makes a world of difference.





Smiling  -  16 Mar 16

Seeing the way the world
Dances to the tune
Of the natural melodies
Smiles carry the melody
And we dance on
Smiling
Into the dream
Of us





Smiling makes a difference to individual people too.

Dream Grows

A mildly philosophical offering today.





Dream Grows  -  15 Mar 16

In little steps
Upon the foundations
We move through
A wilderness
Of broken promises
Still carrying our dream
It will grow
Not with the telling
But with the living





The best way to grow a dream.

The Song That Is You

A Love song with a subtle difference.





The Song That Is You  -  14 Mar 16

The song which goes
Round and round
In your head
Are like the words
Of your Lover
When they are not around
The whispered confidences
Statements of Love
Return to play again
And remind you
Remind you





I have felt and heard those words.

We Eternal

Another special little Love song.





We Eternal  -  13 Mar 16

In the constant flow
Of alll the times
Which are presented
We fly together
And touch the stars
To wake our dreams
Carry them into our
Eternity
With us
Together





Touching the stars.

Exploring ~ Times

The second part of a new sequence of "Exploring" ~ I do not know how much further this sequence will progress.  I shall have to wait for developments.





Exploring ~ Times  12 Mar 16

Through all our Eternities
We have been together
Have explored
From when time began
And we are still looking
Through all the times
That were and are
And will be





Suggestions as to where further Explorations might lead would be welcomed.
