Because [Acrostic]

An acrostic dedicated to the one special person.





Because [Acrostic]  -  08 Nov 16

Been with you for an

Eternity in a state of bliss

Calling on the stars to witness

All our Love

Unbounded and freely given

Shared without condition

Endlessly because of you

YOU know.

Mind's Eye

A Love song with just a little Lust song adding to the chorus.





Mind's Eye  -  07 Nov 16

Watching you

Feeling your Love

Knowing what I see

Is real

Hearing your gentle voice

Echoing the words I speak

Feeling your hands

Smelling your special perfume

These things and more

My mind's eye

Can see

Thinking about the Special One.

Song In The Night

A little poem about an observation and general thoughts.





Song In The Night  -  06 Nov 16

Nightingale takes the melody

Shared with the blackbird

Chorus in the night

Singing in the secret darkness

Of a special world

The song fills everything

I remember listening to blackbirds singing at night when I lived in London.

From Me

A little bouquet for that someone special.





From Me  -  05 Nov 16

Formed from the words

I spoke to you

A bouquet of secret flowers

Presented to you

From me

With Love

To take with you

Wherever you go

Wonder who ~ YOU know.

Autumn Senryū

A form of poem I have not offered for a long time.

Autumn Senryū

I

Leaves washed from the trees

By heavy rain ~ once crisp now

Soft beneath my feet

II

Cloud scrapes the hillside

Harvesting the last flowers

For summer's spirit

III

Autumn holds us all

In a cool tender embrace

Warmth not far away

Quite satisfying I feel.

Presence

A Love song for that one special person.





Presence  -  03 Nov 16

I feel you

Around me touching me

Always with me

Your presence

Has melted my barriers

Now I am complete

Your essence

Is within me

YOU know who that special person is.

Memory Flower

A little poem lost in the tradition of keeping pressed flowers in books.





Memory Flower  -  02 Nov 16

Between pages

Of an ancient book

Pressed

Memories captured

Flowers gathered

From days long gone

Never did this myself but I did keep memories between the pages of a diary I used to write.

Another Time Another Place

Another Love song spanning a very long time.





Another Time Another Place  -  01 Nov 16

In all the places I have seen

Through the millennia

None compares to the world

You have built for me

Another time is carrrying

The essence of your Love

Forming the place where we

Can be forever together

The essence is now in place

Your Love fills us

And we can live it

Completely

So many whens and wheres.

Thoughts

Thinking about that One Special Person.





Thoughts  -  31 Oct 16

In my mind

I have held you

Thoughts of you

Remain strong

Clear

I can see you

Whenever I want

You are always with me

I am always with you

We journey together

Through our Eternities

Always exploring

YOU know who I am referring to when I say YOU.

Circle Dreams

I was in Tregeseal Stone Circle many years ago and witnessed, in a meditative state, events very similar to those in this poem.





Circle Dreams  -  30 Oct 16

Watching the priestesses

Walking the circle

Blessing the stones

Bringing forth the power

I watch

From the now

Into the then

As the ceremony begins

Is it just a dream

Or am I there

To partake

I was actually watching the events from very many centuries ago.

Winter Coming On

A fitting poem for today when it is dark and wet and cold.





Winter Coming On  -  29 Oct 16

The heady days of summer

Now long passed

The nights are getting longer

Becoming colder

Days cannot seem to hold

As much as they did

The songs of autumn

Just a fading memory

Leaves from the trees

Chased by the wind

Across the ground

Hiding in the corners

Soon only frost

Will rule the world

We shall await the warmth

Of beautiful spring days

But for now we watch

The winter coming on

I have heard that it is worse up-country.

Language Of ...

I wonder if you can work out what the language is.





Language Of ...  -  28 Oct 16

Calling me

With words I do not know

Though the feeling

Needs no translation

I can hear the Love

In everything you say

Can see it in your eyes

Feel it in your gentle touch

You have held me

In ways I cannot express

Your words remain written

In my Heart

Should I tell you or do you need another guess?

Dans le Vent

Another weather observation.





Dans le Vent  -  27 Oct 16

In a moment from the dance

Movements of the leaves

Dancing across the ground

Along the paths

Music

In the wind

Invites my Spirit

To dance along

The translation of the French title is “In The Wind”

Earth Light

Just s little song to explore the mystery.





Earth Light  -  26 Oct 16

Luminosity

All around

Creating mystery

Light of the Earth

Fills the sky

Sings the stars

Opens the world

To a special magic

Have you seen the light yet?

Star Song

All you have to do is be prepared to listen.





Star Song  -  25 Oct 16

At night I listen

In the silence of the world

When all is calm

Song

Voices fill the void

Stars share their music

Listen

In the silence of the world

Star song

Fills my heart

Can you hear them now?

Open To You

A Love song with more than a hint of Lust song added.





Open To You  -  24 Oct 16

You touched me

Spoke to me in soft words

Your Love entered me

Held my Heart

Showed me how much you Love me

A Love brighter than the sun

Filled me with your light

Encouraged me to

Open to you

Always open to YOU.

Desire [Acrostic]

An acrosticLove song for that one special person.





Desire [Acrostic]  -  23 Oct 16

Dreams of what I most want

Everything YOU can give me

Sweet kisses and all your Love

I want you in my arms

Relishing the joy of our Love

Endlessly replenishing us

YOU know who this is for.

Hymn Of Autumn

Listening to the celestial monks sing their hymns.





Hymn Of Autumn  -  22 Oct 16

In the cloisters

And the halls

Plainsong by the monks

Echo and build

Sound upon sound

Hear the colours

Of autumn

Join the cadence

Of the hymn

Sing along.

Intervals

When the title first inspired me I thought that it would have something to do with music.





Intervals  -  21 Oct 16

In the space between

Then and how

Now forms and shapes

The when

Questions asked

In the silent void

Resound in the darkness

Of the intervals

My thought is still valid but now the symphony of time is focussed.

Inspiration

Muse is always there for me.





Inspiration  -  20 Oct 16

Muse opened her hand

Showed me

What she held

This is yours

She said

When you want

Just reach out

Touch me

Your inspiration

Sometimes her suggestions are a little obscure but they are always interesting.

Daylight Dreaming

The dreams are always present.





Daylight Dreaming  -  19 Oct 16

April in my mind

Blossoms full of promise

Warm snowdrifts in the breeze

Now autumn closing down

Old leaves drift

Across the path

As daylight starts to fade

Dreams of April still shine

Join me in the dream.

Wind Walking

Another observation with a spiritual level to it.





Wind Walking  -  18 Oct 16

Talking walking

The wind answers questions

I ask in my mind

Trees remind me

That the wind

Always listens

Answers are there

To be heard

Wind speaks softly

To those who are aware

Just listen for the soft voice.

Dusk Tales

Words which tell stories.





Dusk Tales  -  17 Oct 16

In the gathering dark

Of late afternoon

The fire is lit

For comfort

The words of ancient stories

Huddle closer

To tell again

Their tales in the dusk

Gather round the fire and listen.

Yesterday Dream

Being aware of how things are and how they change.





Yesterday Dream  -  16 Oct 16

Yesterday

Everything I thought until then

Proved to be unreal

I was left with a false image

From my dream

Today I think I know better

The stories are coming together

Becoming clearer

I think I can see my path

Forward from now

Tomorrow

. . .

Wishful thinking ~ perhaps.

Dolphin's Moon

A little poem reflecting on events of the night.





Dolphin's Moon  -  15 Oct 16

Clear sky

Cold night

Full Moon reflects

Chill sun

Return beneath the wave

My Dolphin family

Welcomes me back

From the Moon

Written on the night of the full Moon usually called “The Hunter's Moon” but I preferred a more peaceable name.

Crystals In The Dawn

Observation or memory or perhaps both.





Crystals In The Dawn  -  14 Nov 16

Scattered across the lawn

Refracting rainbows

Crystals wait for the moment

As the sky lightens

Dew trembles

Dawn opens

Wafts the crystals away

I have seen the rainbows on the grass, though not recently.

Listening [Acrostic]

An acrostic for your perusal today.





Listening [Acrostic]  -  13 Oct 16

Let us go

Into the void to listen

Songs tell of the ancient times

Through words from the beginning

Empty now the songs await

Needing only music

Inspiration of the sweetest kind

Nightingales talk about the

Golden era

Listen to the songs around you.

Star Dreams

A little Love song spanning immense distances.





Star Dreams    12 Oct 16

In the sky

I hold you

My dreams are filled

With you

Scintillating dreams

In my eyes

Across my mind

You light me

I dream of the stars

Five Thousand Miles is really only just a step in comparison.

October Song

Rounding off October with a reminder.





October Song  -  11 Oct 16

Wind carries the melody

Woven into a tapestry

Formed from the words

Of autumn

Leaves shaken from the trees

Dance along the road

October wraps the world

In its song

Listen for the songs.

Protector

Just to show how a a little Love and protection can really help.





Protector  -  10 Oct 16

Your arms around me

I feel you

Wherever I am

Whatever I am doing

You are with me

You whisper words

Of encouragement

Of protection

You are my guardian

You are my protector

You are my Lover

Being held in the arms is really wonderfully comforting.
