Delicious  -  20 Sep 17


Kisses you gave
Take my appetite
To new heights
Desire sharpened by
Delicious kisses

You


Another of the statements.





You  -  19 Sep 17

Jewels?
You are more precious
Than any gem

The garden is more fragrant
With you in it
My life?
Empty without you







And all because of 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

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.

Because  -  18 Sep 17

You came to me
Offering a gift
So beautiful
I was afraid to touch

I took it
And it passed into me
Because you gave it
To me







You are the gift.

Waves  -  11 Sep 17

In form

Says look at me

Of my waves
Carry you
To another world

As the morning awakes
Listen to the dreamsong

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.

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.


Sunday 10 September 2017

Against You

Dreaming Moon


An observation from various times.

Our minds know.





Touching  -  27 Aug 17

To do all the touching

Out of the way
Let them do the
Touching







Just sit back and enjoy.

Turning thoughts into wishes
