Nothing Can Hide You


Another modern Haikū masquerading as a Love song.





Nothing Can Hide You  -  21 Aug 17

I have looked everywhere
All I ever see is you
Nothing can hide you







When my two favourite poem forms combine ~ bliss.

If You See Me


A little request.





If You See Me  -  20 Aug 17

If you see me
Walking alone
Offer me a smile







Smiles are best shared.

In Me


We all have a seed.





In Me  -  19 Aug 17

She gave me a seed
Suggested I watered it
Cared for it

Let the seed grow
Become strong and fertile
Keep it safe

When I looked
It was the seed of Love
It was in me







You just have to look.

Wind Talking


Over long periods I have seen and heard these things.





Wind Talking  -  18 Aug 17

Whistling between the branches
Slap the cords
Against the flagpole
Beating a rhythm
To counterpoint
The pattern of speech
Listen to the wind talking







The wind sometimes whispers and sometimes shouts.


Sunday 27 August 2017

Now


Right on the edge of limite surréaliste.





Now  -  17 Aug 17

Eventide opening into
A windswept day
Crows
Black leaves
Scattered across the sky
Sun settng
Throws silhouettes
Into the now
Shape the night







Watching the shapes in the night.


Saturday 26 August 2017

Rain Dark


A weather observation.





Rain Dark  -  16 Aug 17

Pale stone
Stippled drip by reluctant drip
From a rain dark sky







And soon the stone becomes rain dark as well.


Friday 25 August 2017

Receiving


A Love song.





Receiving  -  15 Aug 17

She knows me
Offers sweet kisses
I receive with joy
A gift so precious
Jewels cannot compare
I receive you
Into my Heart







For someone really special.

Sliding In The Night


Observations of the mysteries.





Sliding In The Night  -  14 Aug 17

Silken shadows
Hold the mysteries of night
Revealed only to those
Who dream

Sliding in between
The echoes
Of the wishes of the dark
I dream of you







Observing YOU.


Wednesday 23 August 2017

Giving


This is a Love song in a way.





Giving  -  13 Aug 17

I know her
She opened herself to me
Knowing what she means to me
She is giving
Her to me







The most Loving thing.


Tuesday 22 August 2017

Reaching Within


An exploration of Love and what can happen if you let it.





Reaching Within  -  12 Aug 17

Her hand brushed my chest
She smiled
Reached into my Soul
Touched me
More intimately
Than I have ever been
Took my Heart
Laid me bare for her
To see within
Know my Love
She kissed me







Allow the contact for full experience.

On The Verge


My offering today is based around the first card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot, "The Fool"





On The Verge  -  11 Aug 17

A moment in my life
Brings me to the verge
Of paradise
Shows me the next step
The Fool takes my hand
Invites me
To step forward
Into the unknown
And see







Taking chances and discovering.


Sunday 20 August 2017

Laugh


Another modern Haikū for your delight today.





Laugh  -  10 Aug 17

Hearing you
Soft sweet song of Love
Laugh kisses my Soul







Your laugh is wonderful.

Rain Again


A statement about wetness.





Rain Again  -  08 Aug 17

The sky is leaking
A gentle torrent
To refill the puddles
Along the road
Pale grey cloud
Hides the sun again
Rain everywhere







Holiday season and we have low-flying cloud and rain to offer the visitors to west Cornwall.


Friday 18 August 2017

Drips


This resulted from watching the rain and thoughts of something else entirely.





Drips  -  07 Aug 17

Leaves hold onto
The passing rain
Washing themselves
In the cascade
Drips wash my mind
And my Soul






What else?  I am not telling.


Thursday 17 August 2017

Anticipation


Speculation into the it might be worlds.





Anticipation  -  06 Aug 17

The thoughts of
What might happen
Inspire the mind
To start dreaming
To build a
What if
Scene of maybe







Just to what is waiting.


Wednesday 16 August 2017

Discovery


Yet another modern Haikū today.





Discovery  -  05 Aug 17

Looking around
Accepting the wonders
In every moment







Just because I like them.


Tuesday 15 August 2017

Waiting For The Moon


Observation of a day closing.





Waiting For The Moon  -  04 Aug 17

The sun considered setting
Into a murky cloud
The western sky
A brownish haze
To the east
Silver shone
On the lip of the horizon
Selene was coming







The silver light is beautiful.


Monday 14 August 2017

Private Dreams


Another modern Haikū today.





Private Dreams  -  03 Aug 17

I have held you close
Breathed you
You intoxicate me







I hope you do not mind seeing these little Love songs so frequently.

Another modern Haikū today.





Surprises  -  02 Aug 17

Little smiles
Open the way
Surprises







Surprises can be so much fun.

The Web


A Love song with a spidery theme.





The Web  -  01 Aug 17

Ariadne wove
A silken spell
Softer than a dream
Enticing
A bed with you
Enriched with Damask
To wrap the senses
Claiming me







Beautiful Ariadne wove a bed for us.


Friday 11 August 2017

Darkness


Watching the changes.





Darkness  -  31 Jul 17

Hidden from the light
In streams of shadow
I watch
The movement shape
The darkness
Into new forms







Watching and waiting.


Thursday 10 August 2017

Carried By The Wind


One of those images which can be heard anywhere.





Carried By The Wind  -  29 Jul 17

Thought drifting
On a stream of memory
Formed of images
Shaped in the dream
Carried in darkness
By the song of the rain
Listen







No I am not confused, images can be heard.


Wednesday 9 August 2017

In A Wish


Passion and dreams often work together to produce something bigger.





In A Wish  -  28 Jul 17

Captured
A dream coloured by Love
In ways which were
Invoked by Passion
I claim the dream
Open it
In a wish







Wishes know.


Tuesday 8 August 2017

Jester


Another in the "Signs" sequence.





Jester  -  27 Jul 17

Just a moment in
June carried a memory
January whispered to prevent
Jaded thought from
Jinxing Love
July carried on







Sometimes difficult to find words to fit the theme but it does come together eventually.


Monday 7 August 2017

In The Middle


Where am I.





In The Middle  -  26 Jul 17

In the middle
Of the dream
I wake to find you
In the middle of my dream
Confusion takes me
As dream becomes dream
Becomes real
And I dream of me
Dreaming you
Dreaming me







Exploring with me.


Sunday 6 August 2017

Back And Back


An exploration into a slightly surreal flow.





Back And Back  -  25 Jul 17

Now
Thoughts and actions
Blur into
A fictional reality
Back
When things seemed
Clearer and in focus
Where reality was born
Back
In that space
Before time was
And reality was not
Is was waiting







The Is-ness of everything is ready to become.


Saturday 5 August 2017

Before


Another observation in the late afternoon.





Before  -  24 Jul 17

Between the showers
Evening light shines
From the setting sun
Over a gentle river
Ripples reflect the shapes
Endlessly under the trees







Before sunset.


Friday 4 August 2017

Seasongs


This poem was birthed from a mis-typing of "seasons" and I thought I should go with it.





Seasongs  -  23 Jul 17

Music from a myriad spirits
Given voice
By the chanting waves
Song of the sea
Enchanting
Calling me back
To listen again






I think it worked.


Thursday 3 August 2017

Seasons


A Love song today.





Seasons  -  22 Jul 17

A song returned
To play once again
In my mind
Not quite a haunting
A reminder
Of all our seasons
Together
And those
Yet to come







Just for YOU.


Wednesday 2 August 2017

Tasting You


Another modern Haikū for you today.





Tasting You  -  21 Jul 17

The kiss you gave
Still lingers
I can taste you







I Love those special kisses.


Tuesday 1 August 2017

After


Echo upon echo through the hours.





After  -  20 Jul 17

All the echoes of day
Fall silent as darkness drifts
Taunting the shadows
Endless wandering
Repeating as echoes







Is an echo real?
