First Light

Another little Love song today.





First Light  -  08 Oct 16

When you appeared

I was entranced

Your beauty filled me

Showed me the world

In a different way

The light you gave me

Was your light

I realised that it was

Your Love

And I was happy

The light of Love.

Drift Easy

A lovely relaxing journey.





Drift Easy  -  07 Oct 16

Slow movement

Gentle winds carry me

Aimless journey

Simply for the pleasure

No worry

Peaceful

Easy drift

Wherever

Just for the pleasure.

Shadows Of A Dream

Have you watched your dreams dance around you?





Shadows Of A Dream  -  05 Oct 16

Tiny moments in dreamstate

Cast little shadows

Across the world

Unseen by most

Though always present

The dream invokes

The birth of dreams

Shadows mark their passage

Watch now

The dance between

Dream and shadow

Their shadows let you know that they are really there.

Torn Sky

A short observstioon.





Torn Sky  -  05 Oct 16

Clouds torn

Curtains of the sky

Ripped

Letting the night enter

Shrouding the day

I have seen these tears quite often at various times of the day.

Secrets

Secrets can never be spoken but can be shared.





Secrets  -  04 Oct 16

Even if I whispered it

The secrecy would be broken

So I cannot say a single word

I have to keep the secrets

Secret

Held in my mind

You have the key

Can read our secret

Whenever you want

It is your secret too

YOU have the key to our secrets.

Bonded Man

A rather different and special Lust song today.





Bonded Man  -  03 Oct 16

Taken by a sudden whim

A desire overwhelming

Wamting

I was bonded to you

In ways I never understood

You claimed me

I could not prevent you

From taking what you wanted

Claimed forever

Yours

Rather lovely to be claimed in this way.

Quiet Breaths

A soft and gentle Love song.





Quiet Breaths  -  02 Oct 16

Here in bed

Listening to you

The sound of your breathing

Soft music to me

I hear you always

When you talk

A symphony plays

Quietly in my Heart

The breaths can always be heard.

Waking Walking

One of those times when you can never be certain which state you are in, waking or sleeping.





Waking Walking  -  01 Oct 16

Walking

Taking cues from the dark

Dreams scattered in my thoughts

Sleep shattered

I walk through a jumbled land

Trying to regather

The chaotic images

The dream world calls me back

But I keep

Walking

This confusion happens to me rather frequently.

Anytime

A Love song always sung for YOU.





Always  -  30 Sep 16

Feeling you around me

Strength and pleasure

Lips meet

Touch

Open to share

The secret words

Of Love

All the time

Daytime nighttime

Anytime

The words of the song have a magic of their own.

Crack In The Sky

A Love song with an intriguing touch,





Crack In The Sky  29 Sep 16

So many things enter

Low flying cloud

Covers the movement

One thing can never be hidden

The light which shines

When you move

When you tell me

You Love me

Let us fly together through

The crack in the sky

Let us fly.

Moments With You

A tender Love song today.





Moments With You  -  28 Sep 16

Sweet tender touches

Loving looks

Deep eye contact

Connection with Souls

We

Drawn to each other

Over millennia

Just a moment

Becomes a lifetime

So much more

My moments with you

More valueable

Than any treasure

This poem has a similar feel to the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence I feel.

Dawn Of Night

Watch the stars, let them lead you in the dance.





Dawn Of Night  -  26 Sep 16

The evening star

Announces the arrival

Of night

Her beauty is the song

Her song

Fills the waiting world

With expectancy

Come

Dance in the stars

Dance in the light of Venus.

Welcome

A sensuous Lust song for your delight today.





Welcome  -  25 Sep 16

She was open to me

Silent but she said more

With a simple look

Her smile said what she needed

Her eyes spoke

The single word

Welcome

That subtle smile.

Rain On Rain

This seems to be a theme for the latter days of September.





Rain On Rain  -  24 Sep 16

Petrichor

Washed away

Now all that remains

Is the smell of rain

Rain on rain

In darkness

Sound carries images

Thoughts imagine

I Love the smell of petrichor, rain on dry stone, the problem comes when there is so much rain that only the smell of rain is around.

Always Remembered

A little Love song today.





Always Remembered  -  23 Sep 16

Through time and space

Waiting

Dreams ask to be remembered

Before they happen

In that space

You

You will always be remembered

Whatever else happens

You are always remembered

Wherever ~ whenever ~ always remembered.

Always with me.

Kiss Of An Angel

Four linked modern Haikū for the offering today.





Kiss Of An Angel  -  22 Sep 16

In winter

All is quiet

Waiting for the moment

In spring

Kisses full of promise

Grows through the year

In summer

The promise expands

To fill the days

In autumn

Angel kisses shared

Lights passion within the Heart

Those kisses are delicious and magical.

Muse Whispers

I always listen to the promptings.





Muse Whispers  -  21 Sep 16

In the depths of night

A sweet voice

Whispers to me

Write it down

Your thoughts are important

By tomorrow they will be gone

If you want to keep them

Write them down

A poem was birthed

In darkness

I always listen to my Muse.

Watching The Sun [Acrostic]

A slightly different acrostic, normally the title carries the root of the poem.  In this version the title is a descriptive framework and the acrostic is a set of three related words.

Watching The Sun  -  20 Sep 16

Reflecting the fires of dawn

In my skies and across my mind

Stars are a slowly fading memory

Endlessly scintillating dreams

Muse weaves the words

Into new worlds to be sung

Day bathes the new worlds

Dance in the magical ring

Around the pipers mystic songs

Yielding to the power of noon

Slow drift into the purple

Eventide filled with waiting dreams

Tonight sweetly calls

I feel that it makes an interesting variation on the usual format.

Come With Me

Another in the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence.





Come With Me  -  19 Sep 16

Take my hand

Just one tiny step

She is waiting for you

My guide showed me

How small a move

Five thousand miles

Can be

When the mind is open

Love provides the wings

Distance is irrelevant

This sequence is progressing rather well methinks.

Silence Between Silences

Thoughts do not like silence, they work very hard to fill it with their noise.





Silence Between Silences  -  18 Sep 16

Words quiet

Thoughts take over

Fill the silence

With their own noise

Reshaping

The mental world

When real silence

Fills the void

Peace in silence

Sometimes they can be quietened enough for peace to rule.

Remember Me

A gentle statement of affection and assistance.





Remember Me  -  17 Sep 16

In those moments

When you feel unsure

And need a friendly touch

Remember me

I will always give you

What you need

Because I am here for you

I am always here.

Harvest Nights

Written at the time of the full Moon ~ The Harvest Moon.





Harvest Nights  -  16 Sep 16

Moon carves out

Light from shadow

In the taverns

Harvest celebrations

Continue into the night

On the morrow

Fields shall be prepared

For the next crop

But for now we celebrate

At this time of year the Moon is particularly beautiful.

New Words

Have you ever felt that you need new ways to say things?





New Words  -  15 Sep 16

Constantly seeking fresh ways

To tell you things

Knowing that I have said

Everything before

Hoping you will never become

Bored

With what I say

Even if I cannot find

New words to explain

How I feel

I still mean what I say

And the old words

Are always valid

I certainly feel that I need new ways to say things but the old words are still valid.

Autumn Soliloquy

An observation of the time of year and time of day.





Autumn Soliloquy  -  14 Sep 16

Leaves dance

On stray winds

I talk ~ owls listen

Sometimes they answer

But usually

They keep their own council

And the leaves

Dance on

To the music

Of my words

Another night when through half-open window I hear the owls conversing.

Dark Of Day

One of those slightly surreal poems telling of what goes on in my  mind and life.





Dark Of Day  -  13 Sep 16

Poems

From the dark of day

Wrapped in a cocoon

Of silken shadow

Poems mix with dreams

Breed quietly

Birth new images

Populate my nights

And days

Sometimes I wonder if everybody has feelings like these.

Diurnal

This is the second of the two poems the first of which, "Nocturnal"  was published yesterday.





Diurnal  -  12 Sep 16

Sitting in the warm spray

Of the September sun

Watching birds gather

Light is cooler now

And in the distance

Thunder rumbles softly

Telling of a storm to come

In the short day

It is fun and quite satisfying to create linked poems.

Nocturnal

The first of a pair of poems, the inspiration for which came to me one night [ strange that :-) ] the second poem will appear tomorrow.





Nocturnal  -  11 Sep 16

Dancing with the shadows

Of the Moon

Playing catch with the stars

Dreaming the owls

Having a conversation

With the trees

These things and more

I do every night

So many of my poems were born in darkness.

Carefully Chosen Words

Some words are carelessly tossed out but if the real consequences are understood then...





Carefully Chosen Words  -  10 Sep 16

You looked at me

Whispered

I barely heard the sounds

Though my Heart knew

What you said

I composed an answer

We both used three

Carefully chosen words

Looking deep into your eyes

I whispered

I Love YOU

... words should always be carefully chosen.

The Mists Of Returning

The call to return home.





The Mists Of Returning  -  09 Sep 16

After all is done

The mists close in again

Hiding the paths of the world

Reminding that there is

One way feft

To home

The call can be heard

Return to me

Listen ~ can you hear?

Retouched

The differences.





Retouched  -  08 Sep 16

Old photographs can be

Made to look like new

Old memories can be

Made to look completely different

Things which never happened

Now become imaginings

Real

Only in thought

Sometimes the changes can be damaging.

Revisiting [Acrostic]

Playing with words again.





Revisiting [Acrostic]  -  07 Sep 16

Returning to the place wheere we met

Eternal kisses shared there

Viewing the worlds with fresh eyes

In ways which show new vistas

Seeing clearly now

Into places where we were

Then seeing where we are

Intimate touches guide us

No longer looking back

Going forward to find new worlds

I Love the way an acrostic permits word-play to take thoughts to another level.
