Games

Always playing.

Games    -    23 Mar 19

Touches in a playful mood
Hoping to make a

Just to take them
A little further and
Make them playfully naughty

Drifting

Stress-free movement.




.
Drifting    -   22 Mar 19

Slowly
Moving with the tide
Watching the stars
Drifting with me
Over the trees
Peaceful
Tranquil drift

Lying back and enjoying the view.

Where Am I

.
Trying to find out.




.
Where Am I     -    21 Mar 19

Lost in a labyrinth of secret worlds
Taken by an ancient form
Wrapped in cobweb
Rolled in deep water
Brought from the dark
Into lightning trees
When am I or where
Am I here
Questions of time
Never answered



.
Can anybody answer?

Dreaming Other Worlds

.
Looking between the gaps.




.
Dreaming Other Worlds     -    20 Mar 19

Where worlds overlap
Dreams leak through
To enter the mind of
The dreamer
I am watching
Through the curtains
Of the overlap
Dreaming other worlds
Entering them willingly

Looking and dreaming.

Dreams of days.

Tomorrow    -    19 Mar 19

Through misty shades
In the predawn light

Unfinished unformed
Hinting at possibilities
Which only tomorrow
Might reveal
In the afterglow of night

Watch for the images in dreams.

Mountains Of Morning

.
Thoughts at dawn.




.
Mountains Of Morning    -    17 Mar 19

Dawn draws the curtains wide
On the precipitous landscape
In the morning hawks search
For thermals to carry them
Over the mountains
Take me with you in your flight
So I may see
The mountains of morning
For myself




.
Flying with the hawks.

Out Of Dream

.
Exploring the concepts of dream.




.
Out Of Dream    -    16 Mar 19

Scattered across the infinite reaches
Of the depths of space
In dream they are called
Out of the thoughts
Which gave them life
Into a world where
They are challenged
To justify their origins
Out of dream they come
To question




.
The questions are always important.

To lands where I have never

That call for my being

So many places call me.

Tasting    -    13 Mar 19

At the banquet

Wishing you were here
With me to share everything
Together

Slightly naughty pleasures.

The Lovely state of being aware.

Distracted
By the sound
Of rain behind me

But always
Loving
You

Distractions never last for very long, focus returns quite quickly.

In my memories and finding you there.

Walking Through My Thoughts    -   10 Mar 19

Exploring my old memories
Playing with them
Seeing where they might lead
Then I saw you
Walking through my thoughts
I knew you lived there
But I did not expect
To see you wandering around
Examining my every thought
Roses in a garden
Laid bare for you to see
And read like a book




.
An interesting feeling, having someone special looking at my thoughts.

Until he wants them
Invited in to play
Explore and taste the magic

Drifting through the darkness.

Morning Wake    -    07 Mar 19

Sky still dark
Morning has not received
The wake call
From the birds
So it sleeps on
In dreamless shapes
Wrapped in the
Shadows of night
Waiting for a dream

I know the feeling.

Changing

.
Perception shifts, often without warning.




.
Changing     -     06 Mar 19

Shifting from one reality
To another
Creating paradoxes
In its wake
Ship of the worlds
Changing as it goes
Never remaining
In the same form
For more than
An eyeblink
Leaving burning images
Across the mind




.
See if you can track the changes.

You

Resting my cheek
On that spot
Falling asleep saying
I Love you

Dark Fruit     -    05 Mar 19

From a dark fruit

Born of the fruit
The wine of memory
Drunk to forget
Darkness lures

Sip the wine slowly.

Tick

.
Other meanings.




.
Tick    -    05 Mar 19

Insects suck the life
Out of the hands
Though answers
Are marked correct
And the clock tells
The pain of passage
Through the tick
Of everything somewhere




.
I find it interesting how one word can have many different meanings.

Discovered Secret

Playing with a concept in my imagination.

Discovered Secret     -    03 Mar 19

She watched me
I knew she was there
Though I could not
Hide the secret for long
I hoped that I would
Hide it for long enough
Before she discovered it

Hide and seek entirely in my thoughts, no one else involved.

Answers     -    02 Mar 19

Often giving half-truths
In order to confuse
The questioner
So I can evade and relax

Stepping aside is often the safest way of dealing with an awkward question.

Pass
Sands of time
Slips between tired fingers
Wishing the hand would
Still hold time
In the palm

But time just passes in the way it always does.

Riding the waves
Surviving only
By breathing times

In the circle of days
And dance

Sea Mirage

Images are presented in many ways and in interesting places.

Sea Mirage     -    24 Feb 19

Waves draw an image
Across the skies
Whisps of hidden stories
A mirage over the sea
Tells the saga
Of forgotten dreamers
As the dreams fade
Along with those who dreamed

Dreams tend to fade but sometimes watching the sea can bring them back.

Incomplete Ideas    -    23 Feb 19

One day bring it all together

Incomplete ideas
In the fragments
Of my mind
