History [Acrostic]

An acrostic about one special person.





History [Acrostic]  -  27 May 18

Her special story

Is forever held

Sacrosanct in my Heart

Tethered with a Lover's knot

One cord to bind us both

Rewoven completely in

Your secret history

YOU know of whom I speak.

Memories Of You

This is how it can be known that the relationship is strong and valid.





Memories Of You  -  26 May 18

I remember

How and when we met

I remember

Our futures together

Memories of you

Stretch in all directions

Through every time

My memories are strong.

Path

Watching the messages around me as I pass.





Path  -  25 May 18

Between worlds

I wander looking for

Secrets

Often they sit

On the path

Sometimes

They wait for me

The messages are interesting.

Stars Call Me

Another Love song.





Stars Call Me  -  24 May 18

I look into

Your eyes

I hear the stars

They call my name

With your voice

The stars call me

For YOU.

Distant Sounds

In a city have you ever gone out into the night and just listened?





Distant Sounds  -  23 May 18

All the sounds

Which fill the world

Blend together

Subtle quiet hum

Pervades the night

The night is not silent.

Words

More than a poem, more a gentle warning.





Words  -  22 May 18

Beauty is in the eye

Of the beholder

Similarly

Words are in the

Ears and minds

Of the listener

Meaning can often

Be lost

Or misinterpreted

Choose words carefully

To say what you mean

Be careful with words

Be very careful with how you use words.

Talking With You

This poem was inspired by an actual dream I had recently.





Talking With You  -  21 May 18

In my dream

You were with me

Conversations

Flowed as we talked

Of times to come

Of things we shared

Talking with you

Is fulfilling

The conversation was intriguing.

Waves

Memories of another reality.





Waves  -  20 May 18

Rising and falling

In rhythm with the tides

Counterpointed

Riding the white horses

Through the waves

Feeling the flow

Realities often overlap.

City Of Glass

A poem with an almost mythical feel.





City Of Glass  -  19 May 18

An ancient world

Cities still shine

Even though

No longer inhabited

The city of glass

Holds testament

To the people

That once built it

Their memory still lingers

I feel that I may have been there at some point.

Midnight Themes

Another music inspired poem.





Midnight Themes  -  18 May 18

Music flows through my mind

Colours flood my thoughts

Blending into a symphony

Of strange ideas

Themes born in midnight hours

As conscious minds

Dream the music

There is also a colour based concept.

Exploring Forgotten Memories

Memories act as hints to go in unexpected directions.





Exploring Forgotten Memories  -  17 May 18

Deep within my mind

Memories linger

Even though they do not surface

Voluntarily

Occasionally I see something

Which triggers the hint

Of memory

Inviting me to start

Exploring the forgotten

Memories of other years

Will you accept the hints?

Distance

Another in the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence.





Distance  -  16 May 18

Times and tides

Attempt to lay down

Measures of distance

How far something is

But even

Five thousand miles

Means nothing

To Love

A Love song.

Touch Of Love

A new Haikū on the theme of Love.






Touch Of Love  -  15 May 18

I feel you touching

Gentle caresses always

Love shines through from you

I Love Love songs.

Looking Beneath

Inspired by the process of some serious tidying and clearing.





Looking Beneath  -  14 May 18

Exploring places I should know

Discovering things

Long forgotten

Not even a feint memory

When I am looking beneath

I discover them anew

The memory crawls back

Now that the process has begun I expect to find more old memories.

Discovering

Look at everything with wonder.





Discovering  -  13 May 18

Opening eyes

Ready to look

New places and things

Discovering a new way

To see

Use all your eyes

To really see

Remember to use ALL your eyes.

Ancient Eyes

Watching and dancing.





Ancieny Eyes  -  12 May 18

Through ancient eyes

I have watched

The dance of years

The dancers make me smile

Tears of joy

Often fill my eyes

I

Still join

The dance

Always watching and dancing.

Touch The Stars

Reaching out to the magic.





Touch The Stars  -  11 May 18

n the time when I first looked

Out into the night sky

I saw magic in the purple

Reaching out I grasped

The light

Held it close

I realised that I

Could touch the stars

It is waiting there for you.

Old Songs

This poem was birthed when I rediscovered a folk group I first saw and heard when I was in the final year of my school.





Old Songs  -  11 May 18

Memories

Brought back into daylight

Because a name was mentioned

Now the old songs

Play again in my mind

Fill my ears

The colours flow

As they did all those years ago

The group was Hunter Muskett and their first LP was titled 

"Every Time You Move"

Worth listening again.

On The Verge

A set of linked modern Haikū to form a stepping-off place.





On The Verge  -  10 May 18

A new day begins

Not in the way

That everyone expects

Dawn is not the start

Today Spirit is reborn

To lead a new awakening

On the verge

A call from the Multiverse

Invites us to join

I feel that this works.

Wondering

Always wondering what next, where next.





Wondering  -  09 May 18

Thoughts take me

To other worlds

Places

Dreams

Wondering where

They will take me next

What will I see?

Have You Seen

A way of seeing things a little differently.





Have You Seen  -  08 May 18

Morning opens

With little ceremony

Silent fanfare echoes

Across the hills

Have you seen the tears

Of dawn glittering

On the blades of grass

Just look.

Three Movements

Inspired by the concept of a concerto this poem was born.

Prelude

Waiting

An introduction

Looking for themes

Playing with ideas

Opening thoughts

In mind

Excited to feel it grow

Fugue

Two voices

Together

Forming something unexpected

Counterpoint

Harmony

Speaking together

To build anew

Coda

Closing

Soft gentle sounds

Fill the void

A concerto in word form.

I Never Knew

Discovering special travel.





I Never Knew  -  06 May 18

The words we spoke

Took us into a new space

We shared ideas

To explore the worlds

I never knew how far

We could go

Travelling with YOU.

New Ideas

We should all welcome new ideas.





New Ideas  -  05 May 18

Different ways

Of thinking create

New possibilities

Filling my mind

And my life

With ideas to

Take me forward

If not we face stagnation.

In Your Hand

Just the way I feel.





In Your Hand  -  04 May 18

You hold me tenderly

Filling me with your Love

I feel you constantly

Holding me

In your hand

Caressing my Heart

I feel your Love

Holding me

As I Love you

About YOU.

Changing

A journey to share Love.





Changing  -  03 May 18

Billowing sails

Wind carries my thoughts

Through the ever changing sky

My ship speeds across the waves

To bring me to you

To be with YOU.

The Sound Of Love

Another of the Lovely Lust songs.





The Sound O Love  -  30 Apr 18

Soft sweet sighs

Perfumed whispers

Kisses formed around

Ears

And closed eyes

The sound of Love

Is intensely

Stimulating

I Love contemplating these.

Hunting

We all have those times.





Hunting  -  29 Ap 18

Something was missing

I looked in all

The usual places

Some of the unexpected ones

Despite hunting

It did not appear

When things seem to vanish.

Looking

A short Love song which is almost a modern Haikū.





Looking  -  28 Apr 18

In special places

I find you

Even when I am not looking

Sometimes small is good.

I See You

A Lovely dream.





I See You  -  27 Apr 18

In dream as I walk

Over gently rolling hills

Between forest giants

Above the sea's slow swell

You walk with me

Clothed in Love's beauty

I see you

Probably the best dream.

Drifting Dreams

Always following my dreams.





Drifting Dreams  -  25 Apr 18

Drifting through

Random thoughts

Allowing them to show

Ideas and images

Taking me to places

Where I may

Follow my dreams

Best way to be on the journey.
