As night approaches

In each others arms

And the circle is complete







Memories which may or may not have happened.

Let us journey together.





Openings  -  29 Nov 17

We can go anywhere.

Painting The Rain


Inspired by a night full of rain.





Painting The Rain  -  28 Nov 17

Rain through the night
Interrupting thought
Disturbing sleep
Thunder of dream
Resounds in the shadow
Of day
Wakes a memory of the dream

Mystics scry
The crystal tells of shapes
Within the dream
Coloured by the stars
Giving meaning to the storm
Tinting the images
Painting the rain







How sounds can trigger images and dreams.

Midnight Bells

Midnight Bells  -  25 Nov 17

Fairy bells at midnight

Dance with the stream

Turns


I am not entirely certain what inspired this poem.





Turns  -  23 Nov 17

Moves
One after another
Taking turns
For each to change
Allowing space
For each to shift
In turns







I think it works though.


Thursday 30 November 2017

Once


This applies to so many things.





Once  -  22 Nov 17

Once the desire
Had been stated
Thoughts were set
In motion

Once the intent
Had been formed
Inexorable events
Started on their way

Once the words
Had been shared
There was no turning back
Ever







The best thing is Love.

With You Always [Acrostic]


Fiest acrostic for a fair time.





With You Always [Acrostic]  -  21 Nov 17

When you feel alone remember
I am always holding you
Taking your hands in mine
Have you in my arms

You are never alone
Over all our worlds and
Under every sun

At the moment when
Love fills all our
Worlds and our Eternities
All we need to know is
Yesterday's dreams
Still grow for us







YOU know for whom this was written.

This is almost part of the "Five Thousand Miles" series.





Smiles And Miles  -  15 Nov 17

Stop humour

At the right moment
Can trigger
An avalanche of smiles
Miles melt away







Not quite part of but so nearly.

Wishes In The Wind  -  09 Nov 17

The thoughts of the day

Call them to see them
Listen to what they offer






The wind knows.
