Continuing the dream theme.

Ocean Dreams     -    23 Jun 19

How long a night
When an ocean dreams
Can bring silence to the waves
When will she rest and sleep
Still waiting in eternity

.
Is eternity long enough?

.

Autumn Dreamers

.
When thoughts wander in the dusk.

.
Autumn Dreamers    -   22 Jun 19

A smokey dawn
The fires of yesterday
Say a sweet sad
Farewell to autumn
Spark claimed
The tired branches
In the hearth
Sleep takes the dreamers
Into another day

.
Carrying the memories as dreams.

.

Questing

.
Always looking without end.

.
Questing    -   21 Jun 19

Across the open spaces
With eyes open I wander
Sand scurries around my feet
We are both questing
For answers in the journey
From here to where

.
Sometimes the answers are in plain sight.

.

Heart And Hands

.
Thoughts about my one special person.

.
Heart And Hands    -   20 Jun 19

You took my Heart
Claimed it
As yours

I felt your hands
Holding my Heart
Your tender Love filled me

I gave you my Heart
Willingly
My Heart is yours
Forever

.
Love Songs are good to write.

.

In A Distant Dream

.
What is it that waits?

.
In A Distant Dream    -   19 Jun 19

Miles held an open secret
Words drawn with ink
On polished stone
Reflecting another way
Of seeing
In a distant dream
A shuttered world
Waits

.
Look into the stone and you may see.

Whispering

.
Random thoughts and feelings among the trees.

.
Whispering    -   18 Jun 19

Under the rainbow
Colour dripping
On me
Whispering in the glade
With the spirits of dawn
Who have waited
For the moment the time
Is ripe to open
And call to the trees
They call to me
As I fly with the rainbow

.
Be aware of everything which surrounds you.

.

In The Sweet Night

.
Watching you.

.
In The Sweet Night    - 17 Jun 19

Having thoughts of you
I watch you dance
With slow graceful sweeps
The joy of movement
In the sweet night
Carried to me

.
Stimulating to watch.

.

Where I Want To Be

.
My one special person.

Where I Want To Be    -   16 Jun 19

There is one place
That has called me
For so long
I listened
I could not do anything else
But listen
The call grew louder
And I knew that it was
Where I want to be
In your arms forever

.
Always listening to the call.

.

Rainy Window [Haiku]

.
One of my favourite poetic forms.

.
Rainy Window [Haiku]    -   15 Jun 19

Rainy window tease
With distorted images
Trees under wet sky

.
Amazing how much can be said in seventeen syllables.

.

Warm Dream

.
In a pleasing dream I walk.

.
Warm Dream    -   13 Jun 19

Walking alone in a warm dream
Exploring the fealings of the
Distant dawn where the world
Touches the place where light begins

Stars paint a vision of the world
Covering darkness with their glimmer
Setting fire to the dawn
Igniting the dreams before they fly

In the warm dream I wait
For the spark to reach me
And fire the dreams
Into a new reality and a new me

.
Watching for the change to rise.

.

Sleeping And Awake

.
Uncertainty of state.

.
Sleeping And Awake     -    12 Jun 19

I do not know
When I am
Drifting through
Indeterminate spaces
Feeling the warmth
Of a slow breath
Am I sleeping
Or am I awake
Or could I be both
Breathe for me
As I try to decide

.
A strange and puzzling place.

.

Making A Wish

.
Always aware of how things shape thoughts and thoughts shape things.

.
Making A Wish    -   11 Jun 19

The songs sung in the dark
Of the predawn sky
Still conjure the dreams
To share the moment
Invitation reaching out
Thinking of weaving
Shaping building
Making a wish
Calling the sun into the day

.
And dreams can always shape the world.

.

Dark Candle

.
Absence of light in this room.

.
Dark Candle    -   10 Jun 19

In a dark room
A dark candle stands
Awaiting the spark
To bring a new flame

Dark candle
Holds a dark light
Only illuminating
Other realms

Dark in darkness
Always
No light
Ever

.
I am not certain what inspired this poem.

.

Enchantress

.
Created because of the one special person.

.
Enchantress    -    09 Jun 19

Tales of the
Beautiful
Enchantress
Told by travellers

The tales are true
For I have seen
The Enchantress
Her name is known to me

Reaching out to her
Claiming the dream
Which grew into
Something more

The Enchantress tempted
With her words and songs
And all along she showed
The signs of her Love

.
My Enchantress.

.

Out Of The Dark

.
Light and dark both work to shape the world.

.
Out Of The Dark    -    08 Jun 19

From the light
Images drift
Taking random thoughts
With them
Into places
As yet unseen
Out of the dark
Modified thoughts
Bump into the world
Giving rise to new visions
To shift imagination
Somewhere different

.
Let them show what they have to offer.

.

Pleasures

.
The little secrets you keep to yourself.

.
Pleasures    - 07 Jun 19

Secret pleasures
The moment nobody else
Can share
I dare not show
My inner feelings
No one else
Can understand
How to feel
Can I ever open up
To show me
To you
Any of you

.
This is a big question, I do not know if it can ever be answered.

.

Reading Old Poems

.
The words here tell the story quite efficiently.

.
Reading Old Poems    -   06 Jun 19

Words on faded pages
Or on a screen at night
Memories carried
From times past
Into the future
Stanzas dripping
Into the time stream
Spirits reading old poems
To relive the past

.
Sometimes I join the spirits and read along with them.

.

A Sad Song

.
In no way is this autobiographical but the words just flowed and I wrote them out.

.
A Sad Song   -   05 Jun 19

Holding back the rain
Easy
Like holding back the tears
At the end
Wanting things never to end
Thought to be
Unchanging
Wanting things to be forever
Just a sad song
In the tale of yesterday

.
Exploring the concept of the "might have been" stories.

.

Still Waiting

.
Waiting for the moment.

.
Still Waiting    -    04 Jun 19

The shadows reach
Across the garden
Telling of the approaching night
The sun is still waiting
For the Moon
So they can ride the sky
Together again

.
Dreaming in the late afternoon.

.

In Dark Eyes

.
Somewhat surreal imagery today.

.
In Dark Eyes     -    03 Jun 19

Reflected candles
Flames flicker and dance
Images brought to transient
Fictions of life
Dreaming of somewhere
The wheel does not reach
Only heard never seen
In dark eyes

.
The images dance and confuse the mind.

.

Corrupted

.
Images shaped from the other side.

.
Corrupted    -    02 Jun 19

Moving around in a haze
Of molten thoughts
Discoloured by the falling rain
Rusted by the sun
Corrupted shattered
Unveiled under the nightmare
As daemons smile
In anticipation

.
The lack of a dipthong on my phone is a bit irritating but daemons still works.

.

Quiet Night

.
A little Love song.

.
Quiet Night    -   01 Jun 19

Curling up in your Love
Feeling the gentle touch
Feeling you
My Heart calls out to you
From the darkness of a quiet night

.
Gentle Love songs are always a pleasure to give or receive.

.

In My Eyes

.
A little poem for my one special person.

.
In My Eyes    -    31 May 19

I have been watching you
You have offered me everything
I ever wanted
From a friend
But in my eyes you are so much more
You are my Lover
I welcome this
And offer my Love to you

.
Sharing Love.

.

Summer Morn

.
Born from a moment of random thought.

.
Summer Morn    -   30 May 19

Earth would pluck wind
Weep for lost direction
Ask why the summer morn
Shall sometimes lose against madness

.
Words sometimes tell a story without assistance from a human.

.

Songs

.
They can be heard.

.
Songs   -    29 May 19

Through the night words drift
Gathering in quiet spaces
Near the fires of autumn
The songs of summer still
Can be heard in the voiceless
Year

.
The songs accompany us wherever we go.

.

Caring

.
That touch tells all.

.
Caring    -    28 Jun 19

In the essence of me
I feel the warm flow
The touch
I know you are
Caring for me
Thank you

.
Knowing how much you care.

.

Kissing Paradise

.
Time to do it.

.
Kissing Paradise    -    27 May 19

One taste
All it took to show
To show the Paradise
Which can be unlocked
By kissing

.
Once tasted, never forgotten and always craved.

.

Secrets

.
Just keep looking and listening.

.
Secrets    -   26 May 19

In this universe
Words
Never heard before
Track the sounds
Of drifting sands
Carried by a mischievous wind
Bound by secrets
Which never fade but
Leak into other universes
To colour the dawns
On different worlds

.
These sounds can be heard all the time if you are prepared to listen.

.

On The Hills

.
The weather forecast for this day was accurate almost to the minute, because of this I was inspired to birth a poem.

.
On The Hills     -    24 May 19

A crown
Of cloud hides
On the hills
Under a veil of mist
Moist embrace
From the spring
Of Love

.
Inspiration is a strange but wonderful thing.

.

Opening To Sight

.
Looking with all senses.

.
Opening To Sight    -   23 May 19

Eyes closed
Against the light
Awareness of something
Moving
Near
Eyes open
Searching
Opening to sight
Expecting

.
Wondering what will become visible.

.
