Touching In Firelight

.
Lovely thoughts.

.
Touching In Firelight    -    26 Nov 18

Almost a dream
She looked at me
Unlike a dream
Her touch was real
We were touching
In the warmth
Of the firelight
The fires warmed us
As we held each other
Closer closer
Touching in firelight

.
Happy sigh.

.

Across The Plain

.
Distant colours.

.
Across The Plain    -    25 Nov 18

In the distance
Mountains rise to touch
The sky
Across the plain
Wrapped in the
Purple mists

.
Distance always gives a hint of mystery.

.

Dolphin Dreams

.
Swimming with you.

.
Dolphin Dreams    -    24 Nov 18

Slow
Gentle moves
Leisurely drifting
Smiles
Fill my thoughts
The dolphin
Dreams of you

.
Always dreaming of YOU.

.

Resting

.
Gentle thoughts fill my mind.

.
Resting    -    23 Nov 18

Letting the day
Drift into evening
Comforting memories
Flow through my thoughts
As I slip into reverie
Time shared with you
Resting gently in my mind

.
Lovely thoughts always.

.

Wind And Rain

.
It has been rather moist here recently.

.
Wind And Rain    -    22 Nov 18

Too much I see them
Both
In the world
Now I am wet and
Windswept
As I walk
I would rather be
At home watching
The wind and rain
From the comfort
Of a warm room

.
Comfort is good.

.

Warming

.
Dreams by the fireside.

.
Warming    -    21 Nov 18

By the fireside
Dreaming of the sun
In the night I see
The images of
Another world
Suns warming me
Gently and keeping
The illusion of the dream
Complete

.
I really like these dreams.

.

Watching For You

.
Written for that someone really special.

.
Watching For You    -    20 Nov 18

In my mind and in my life
I am always looking
Watching for you
Because my thoughts
Are always wrapped
In you and holding
Onto the feelings
You give me
I am always
Watching and waiting
I can feel you
With me in my Heart

.
You really know who you are.

.

Whether Weather

.
Another weather observation.

.
Whether Weather    -    12 Nov 18

Whither does the
Church steeple cock
Point
Whether to directions
Unexpected
The weather comes
To ruffle the feathers
Of man and beast

.
Feathers are a relatively common thing.

.

Sketches

.
Sometimes a sketch can give more information than a full image.

.
Sketches    -    16 Nov 18

Hints of images
Suggestions of form
Shapes in the hinterland
Of perception
Where sketches become
A strange reality
Surreal is real
Taken further into
The depths of mind
Going deeper
To meet the sketches

.
Reality is just a sketch.

.

Sunlight

.
A rather dark observation today.

.
Sunlight    -    15 Nov 18

Mostly missing from my life
At the moment
Clouds hide the sky
Robbing me of blue and gold
I want sunlight back
To brighten my life

.
There have been too many clouds recently.

.

Sound Carries

.
So many ways to listen.

.
Sound Carries    -    14 Nov 18

Whispers on the wind
Your voice comes to me
Sound carries further
Than anyone knows

I hear your voice
Echoes in the wind
Soft voice in the rustle
Of the leaves in the night

Whispers beside me
Tell me what you want to say
I listen to your voice
I am in Love again

.
Always In Love with you, YOU know who I am talking about.

.

Days

.
Travelling through time.

.
Days   -   13 Nov 18

Short or long
Always an interesting
Journey from now to when
Days are a roadmap
To mark where we have been
Where we are going
Read the days well

.
Helping us to plan the journey.

.

Whether Weather

.
Another of the observations, even though the church does not have a steeple I can watch a flag in another place.

.
Whether Weather    -    12 Nov 18

Whither does the
Church steeple cock
Point
Whether to directions
Unexpected
The weather comes
To ruffle the feathers
Of man and beast

.
This is more of an observation of the effects of the wind.

.

Twists

.
Observations on the world.

. Twists    -    11 Nov 18

Turns through the hours
To shape new things
Feelings of change
Through the way
The twists manifest

.
Also inspired by looking at a bowl of pasta which will made in the form of spirals.

.

Wishing You

.
Wishing for someone really special.

.
Wishing You   -   11 Nov 18

In the dark and gloomy days
It would be good to have
Company
Wishing you were there
With me
To hold
The darkness back
Light the day and
Fire the night with Love

.
Someone REALLY special.

.

Rain Clouds

.
Quite a lot of those here recently.

.
Rain Clouds    -   09 Nov 18

Hanging over the landscape
A tired weather cape
Does not protect from the rain
Clouds bring more
Fields vanish into the drizzle
The rain clouds rule the land

.
Waiting for dry days to return.

.

Dreaming The Rain

.
Another modern Haiku today.

.
Dreaming The Rain    -    08 Nov 18

I wish I was
Dreaming the rain
Rather than standing in it

.
Soggy.
Maybe a scarecrow's lament.

.

Eternitys

.
A little modern Haiku today.

.
Eternitys    -   07 Nov 18

Eternitys are
Not long enough for us to
Grow and explore we

.
Exploring we is good.

.

Places

.
Looking at things both old and new.

.
Places    -   06 Nov 18

Reaching from the fog
Of part recalled places
My mind wanders
From the once familiar
To the unknown
A land of strange images
I dream
Yet I am awake
Can I touch the places again
Or are they lost in the fog

.
Difficult to tell sometimes.

.

Unexpected

.
New directions to seek out places.

.
Unexpected    -    05 Nov 18

Little twists
In the flow of reality
Shake understanding
Into unexpected patterns
Bringing the view
Of where and when
We are
Into new focus

.
Seeing the vistas.

.

Rain On The River

.
Thoughts on water.

.
Rain On The River    -    04 Nov 18

Water to water
Sky kissing the river
With drops of rain
Wandering to the sea
Rain on the river
Travelling together

.
The rain inspired this poem into being.

.

Touching The Night

.
Feeling that very special fire.

.
Touching The Night    -    03 Nov 18

Sweet kisses by firelight
Warm flickering glow
You looked into my eyes
Smiled
We were touching the night
Stars fired the sky
Guided by our Love
Through the forever
Of the night

.
The special person is YOU.

.

Desire

.
The way I feel.

.
Desire    -    02 Nov 18

Thoughts
Drive desire
To greater heights
Raising expectations
Beyond
Realms realistically
Achievable to dreamers
Not to
Those
Who never
Dream to higher
Levels of
Imagination

.
I felt that creating a pattern with words would be an interesting way to explore a poem.

.

Confuse

.
Interesting how things can shift unexpectedly.

.
Confuse    -    01 Nov 18

Moments when certainty
Seems to be unchangeable
Something happens
To confuse
Suddenly there is uncertainty
In every location
The unexpected rules

.
A little change in things around me.

.

Pressed Memories

.
Keeping the memories safe.

.
Pressed Memories    -   31 Oct 18

Pressed between the pages
Of an unread book
Memories dreams wishes
Thoughts of Love from the past
Resting for now
Hoping to bring them back to life
As time passes
The book placed under the pillow
To feed the dreams through
The night before going to sleep
To grow to fruition

.
Safe and watered with tears.

.

Little Connections

.
Feeling the contact from someone really special.

.
Little Connections    -    30 Oct 18

Subtle touches
Feelings of connection
With someone
I deeply Love
Knowing that she
Is making the
Little connections
With me
At the same moment

.
Those simultaneous connections are so satisfying.

.

Lost

.
Wondering when I will find it again.

.
Lost    -    29 Oct 18

Losing time
Losing days
Never certain where
They have gone
Blurred memory
Even the mind
Seems to be lost

.
This was valid on the 29th October and it is now on the 3rd November as I write this post.

.

Forever

.
Those Lovely thoughts.

.
Forever    -   28 Oct 18

Thoughts of you
Always held in my mind
You live in my Heart
Forever
Always together
Forever

.
YOU know who you are.

.

Siren Song

.
The songs which lure.

.
Siren Song    27 Oct 18

Listening to the seductive words
Soft sweet music
Inviting me to join
With the siren song
They call so sweetly
How can I resist

.
So difficult.

.
