Delicious

Another of those Lovely statements.





Delicious  -  20 Sep 17

Kisses you gave

Take my appetite

To new heights

Desire sharpened by

Delicious kisses

Hunger grows

You know who You are.

You

Another of the statements.





You  -  19 Sep 17

Jewels?

You are more precious

Than any gem

Flowers?

The garden is more fragrant

With you in it

My life?

Empty without you

And all because of YOU.

My Words

An Haikū with a classical syllable count.





My Words  -  18 Sep 17

My words are for YOU.

Hands In The Dark

Some of the Lovely thoughts which fill me.





Hands In The Dark  -  17 Sep 17

Feeling her hands

Caressing me gently

Wandering across me

Inviting my response

I did not need light

To see where my hands

Should be

Seeing in the dark

Is easy

Hands can see very well.

Eyemagination

I was sitting and was convinced that I was actually looking at something and the title just appeared in my mind.

The poem formed itself as I sat.





Eyemagination  -  16 Sep 17

A fiction invented

By the wandering vision

Of a tired eye

Seeing what it thinks

It sees

Created in imagination

Because vision

Vaguely suggested

A form to watch

The spellchecker really dislikes  me.

Approaching

Another modern Haikū today.

Forms In The Night  -  14 Sep 17

Ancient forms

Hides secrets

Prying eyes

Cannot see

Night reveals

Only what

It wants

Keep looking, you might catch a glimpse of something.

Because

Accepting a treasure from you.





Because  -  18 Sep 17

You came to me

Offering a gift

So beautiful

I was afraid to touch

You insisted

It was a treasure

So intense

Seeing was not enough

I took it

And it passed into me

Because you gave it

To me

You are the gift.

With one small step

See you at the end

The journey has not been forgotten.

Waves

Watching the movement.





Waves  -  11 Sep 17

In form

Sea shows the power

Says look at me

I can dance for you

I can dance with you

Let the strength

Of my waves

Carry you

To another world

Sometimes the sea can take us to unsafe places.

Listen

Just open your ears.





Listen  -  10 Sep 17

The trees share their wisdom

Birds gather

Add their voices

To the song of the world

In the whispering rain

As the morning awakes

Listen to the dreamsong

So many things to hear.

Touched Me

A statement of fact.





Touched Me  -  09 Sep 17

In the moment she touched me

I knew that she owned my Soul

Her Love burned through me

With a joyful flame

Destroying sadness in

An instant

I am hers

Forever

She is someone special.

After The Rains

Sunset observations.





After The Rains  -  08 Sep 17

Peaceful but never silent

The wind still talks

Darkness begins to gather

As from below the horizon

The sun tints

The edges of cloud

Calm as darkness falls.

The Journey

Inspired, if that is the right word, by a visit to a podiatrist seven miles away.





The Journey  -  07 Sep 17

Planned

But

With unexpected results

A hint of rain

Then the meeting failed

I returned home

With pain

The problem was that the podiatrist did not make the appointment as told me she did.

In the night

Wandering through the forest.

Beauty Within  -  05 Sep 17

In those imperfect

Places

Perfection

Can be found

By those who look

All will be revealed.

Rain On Water

This has a Zen like feel.





Rain On Water  -  04 Sep 17

Tears shed

From a rain filled sky

Blinking back the deluge

Water still fills the ground

Rain falls anyway

Rain on water

A lot of my poems have that feel but this one more than most.

Sun On River

An observation with a Love song flavour.





Sun On River  -  03 Sep 17

Of a thousand years

To meet the sun

On the river

We share them

Together

Kisses are good.

I Watch

A Love song with a hint of something more.





I Watch  -  02 Sep 17

As you dance

Steps write a poem

Flowing dreams

Surround you

Clothing you in fantasy

I watch

Enchanted by the form

You build and invite me

To share

Some Lovely thoughts.

September Song [Acrostic]

Celebrating the start of September.





September Song [Acrostic]  -  01 Sep 17

Secrets gather in the quiet of an

Evening as dusk gathers around the

Passion smouldering waiting

To be awakened again

Emerald forests

Move in syncopated rhythm

Before darkness hides

Everything from

Reality

Sacred dreams dance

Over nightfall

Nocturnal spirits

Gather again

Beauty in the darkness.

Against You

Thoughts and wishes.





Against You  -  31 Aug 17

Feeling the rhythm of your breath

I hear your heartbeat

Soft thunder

Behind your breasts

Welcoming me against you

What a Lovely place to be.

Dreaming Moon

An observation from various times.





Dreaming Moon  -  30 Aug 17

In a slow afternoon

A moon faded by the sun

Follows toward the sea

Dreaming

Waves rock her gently

Into a silent dream

In the west at the right time of the moonth.

Moon Kissed

Magical statement inspired.





Moon Kissed  -  29 Aug 17

On a night like this

Moon watches

She knows

Offers her kiss

When we kissed

Magic is sealed

Moon and a Lovely lady.

Do I Want

Sometimes the correct and valid answer is never understood.





Do I Want  -  28 Aug 17

Always being asked

Always told

This is important

My simple answer

Is never appreciated

Do I want

Yes

Why is complicated better?

Touching

Our minds know.





Touching  -  27 Aug 17

Feeling you

Knowing what you want

Allowing our minds

To do all the touching

Our minds know what they

Really want

We have to keep

Out of the way

Let them do the

Touching

Just sit back and enjoy.

Fruit Of Autumn

Ah autumn, season of low-flying cloud and rain.





Fruit Of Autumn  -  26 Aug 17

For the moment to arrive

When the special fruit

To form in the dream

Coloured With the gold

Of the sacred spell

Autumn gave her blessings

To the tree

My memories of warm sunny years survive.

In the eternal now

Thoughts into night

Taking

Thoughts from the darkness

Turning thoughts into wishes

I feel the contrast works.

The circle of the sun

Subtle shifts

Of steps to complete

The dance

Go around again

We always manage to follow.
