Seventh House

.
An astrological message today.

.
Seventh House   -   26 Aug 19

Venus kissed gently
Caressing the line
Of the secret form
The ram smiled
With pleasure
As he entered
The seventh house

.
A little cryptic but astrologers will understand.

.

Lament

.
I looked out of my window and was immediately inspired to write this.

.
Lament    -   25 Aug 19

Dawn cloud
Flying low hiding the sun
Hiding the hills
Shrouding the valleys
Leaving the memory of night
Everywhere
Hanging from the trees
With pale blankets
Enveloping the world
In damp fading dream
Dawn postponed until later
Disembodied doves lament

.
I can still hear the doves.

.

Obscure

.
Places I have searched.

.
Obscure    -   24 Aug 19

In the strange hidden places
I have looked for things
Needed to complete the search
The more I looked
The harder it was to find
In the dark grey obscure mists
Hiding from me
Wanted things

.
I am still looking.

.

Only The World

.
The way things change unexpectedly.

.
Only The World   -   23 Aug 19

Not expecting anything
From anywhere
Only the world had
Other ideas
Changed the game
To follow different rules
The world wrote its own rules

.
Fascinating how things can change.

.

Escape

.
For and about the one special person.

.
Escape   -   22 Aug 19

Little chains hold me
In ways I did not expect
Chains made of Love
Wrapped in velvet
Bound with kisses
I have no desire to escape
The warmth of Love
Too great a pleasure
To reject

.
Love holds me.

.

Voyage

.
The edge of a step into the unknown.

.
Voyage   -   21 Aug 19

Watching the harbour
Slipping away into the mists
I feel sadness
Excitement
Mixed within me
As the voyage begins
Sliding into exploration

.
Leaving home but looking forward to the new horizons.

.

Carry Me

.
A slightly sad song today but one which is not recently relevant to me, though a long time ago it was.

.
Carry Me  .   20 Aug 19

Standing in the pouring rain
Feeling the tears washing off me
Allowing the rain to carry me
And clean me
Waiting for the sun
To dry my thoughts
And take the rain back
To let me see again

.
Sad but with hope.

.

Little Moments

.
Gathering all the pieces of the special person.

.
Little Moments    -   19 Aug 19

Treasured
In all the little moments
Which gather round me
Around my Heart
Jewels left by you
Pieces of you
Given to me
Jewels from your Heart
Fill me with Love

.
Gathered and kept forever.

.

Smiles [Haiku]

.
They can be found everywhere.

.
Smiles [Haiku]   -   18 Aug 19

Flowers can always
As you in my fantasies
Bring smiles to my lips

.
Enjoy the Haiku.

.

In Me

.
Feeling someone special.

.
In Me   -   17 Aug 19

Within me
I can feel you
Holding my Heart
Keeping me warm
Filling me with
Your Love

You are in me
Wherever I am
Whatever I am doing
You are here
We are
Always together

.
Always close, always together.

.

Smiles In The Rain

.
Taking a shower together.

.
Smiles In The Rain   -   16 Aug 19

Sharing kisses
Getting wet
Raindrops
Slip cool
Down our faces
Contrast with the heat
Of our kisses
We have
Smiles in the rain

.
Pleasure can be found in so many ways and places.

.

Evening Drift

.
That hazy time of day where nothing seems quite real.

.
Evening Drift   -   15 Aug 19

I walk through the slow blue
Of the end of the day
The fragments of the
Forgotten dreams
In the evening drift
Comforting and
Carrying me to sleep

.
Feeling the presence of so many people.

.

My Night

.
Filled with Lovely thoughts and touches.

.
My Night    -   14 Aug 19

Dreams around me
Dance
Through darkness
Tantalising
Watching dances
Through my night
Teasing touches
From the dancers
As they move
Around me

.
Sensuous dreams.

.

In Your Eyes

.
Micro-poetry, almost a form of modern Haiku.

.
In Your Eyes    -   13 Aug 19

I have looked into your beautiful eyes
I have seen what you see
I have seen me in your eyes

.
The mirror of the Soul.

.

Cold Night

.
The nights have been a little cooler recently.

.
Cold Night    -   12 Aug 19

Waiting for the Moon
Pretending that
It will be warm
To fend off the cold
Of the night
Cold light from the silver
Does not help
And the cold night continues

.
Putting on a fleece.

.

Dark Stars

.
Seeing the mysteries in darkness.

.
Dark Stars   -   11 Aug 19

Mythic shifts in space
Darkness fills the sky
The quest is momentarily over
Awaiting the dark stars
To shift imagination into
New vision
Dark thoughts matched
By the stars
In their dance

.
Have you watched the dance?

.

Light Between

.
Something not quite seen.

.
Light Between    -   10 Aug 19

Stars shine in the cracks
Between clouds
As the wind drives them all
Light reflects from
Ruffled puddles
Back to the stars

.
If it is seen, never forgotten.

.

Between Words [Haiku]

.
Another tiny concise poem, an Haiku.

.
Between Words [Haiku]    -    09 Aug 19

Spoken endlessly
In the gaps between all words
Communication

.
Another Haiku for your reading pleasure.

.

Watching And Waiting

.
Looking for the special information.

.
Watching And Waiting    -   08 Aug 19

In the skies watching for signs
Eyes wander across the infinite
Looking constantly
Waiting through millennia
For a word
To explain why
Waiting and watching

.
The words and signs are coming.

.

Space Between

.
Trying to define a shape.

.
Space Between    -   07 Aug 19

Pressed
Stone dark
Into undefined forms
In the space between
Unexpected shapes
Words do not fit
The thoughts of the tide

.
The definition seems to be failing.

.

Thinking

.
About when and where you are.

.
Thinking    -   06 Aug 19

Those moments in evening's shadows
When the ghost of afternoon moves
Through, into the forever night
Leaving us thinking about where
The light hides around the candle

.
Thoughts like these often drift in my mind.

.

Captured Images

.
Memories of times and places, held forever.

.
Captured Images   -   05 Aug 19

A drawing of a forgotten flower
In an unremembered
Sketchbook
Half-filled with pencil lines
Images lost now
Captured in a faded page

.
I have many half-filled books like this.

.

Weave

.
A poem constructed from two interlinked poems.

.
Weave   -   04 Aug 19

Soul dancing
          Stepping in time together
Together
          Moving smoothly through infinity
We weave
          Threads of wonder
The Multiverse
          Make the cloak of stars

.
Do you like this concept?

.

Inside

.
Clearing a visual path.

.
Inside   -   03 Aug 19

On a day when tomorrow calls
Yesterday is often forgotten
Between those places
The fires inside my life
Can burn into the outside world
Revealing a different way
Of seeing the when

.
Time and space are inextricably linked.

.

The Image Of Darkness

.
Continuing the dark theme with the poem today.

.
The Image Of Darkness   -  02 Aug 19

In the shadows
That surround me
As I try to escape
The darkness
Which holds
The image of a fading
Summer sunset
Taunting me
With collapsing memories
Fading further into
Darkness

.
Looking into the dark of the world.

.

Painted Memories

.
Remembered Loves.

.
Painted Memories   -  01 Aug 19

An old dream
Pressed
Between the pages
Of an even older book
Colours of the petals
Of a flower
Remain
On the words
Of a Love song
Painted memories

.
Remembered significant moments of a life.

.

Connection

.
A slightly surreal contact building.

.
Connection   - 31 Jul 19

Between this world
And all others
I wait for the
Special connection
We have always had
Which draws us closer
Closer still through time
I wait for you
We are closest
As the mirror closes
Around us
Time shapes the world
For us to meet again
The connection is complete

.
The special person is worth waiting for through all times.

.

I Dream You [Acrostic]

.
I enjoy the constraints of the Acrostic format.

.
I Dream You   -   30 Jul 19

Imagination enflames my mind

Delicate thoughts swirling
Rampant through
Endless crystal halls
Amid the blossoms of
Midsummer hours

You held me
Onto your perfumed bed
Under lilac sheets

.
I Love these thoughts.

.

Rain Parade

.
A weather observation.

.
Rain Parade   -   29 Jul 19

Cloud marching
In ragged ranks
Across a damp sky
To leave more
In a rain parade

.
Parades happen at this time of year, usually they do not coinside with the rain.

.

Drifting Through [Haiku]

.
Another Haiku for your delectation.

.
Drifting Through [Haiku]  -   27 Jul 19

Fey wishes drifting
Through midnight mountains glory
Dreams are shimmering

.
I Love the restrictions of the structure of this form.

.

Stars Of Your Eyes

.
Looking within you.

.
Stars Of Your Eyes   -   26 Jul 19

I looked into you
Not knowing what to expect
I gazed long
All I could see was the
Stars of your eyes
Holding me entranced
Held by the power
Of you

.
Such beautiful power.

.
