When Daylight Fades

.

Being aware of how things change. 

. 

When Daylight Fades    -   26 Oct 19 

In the end 

Of a lonely time 

Hours slide into years 

Marking the passage 

Into the night's dream 

Forgetfulness lasts 

When daylight fades 

From the world 

. 

Perhaps you can find your answers. 

. 

I Will Find A Way

.

I know where you are, I will reach you. 

. 

I Will Find A Way    -    25 Oct 19 

In all the shapes of reality 

The strongest forn 

Is the one that dreams 

Are constructed from 

I have touched the walls 

Surrounding the paradise 

Where you are waiting 

I will find a way 

To reach you 

. 

There is always a way. 

. 

Memento

.

It does not take much, something as small and simple as a pebble found on a special day can trigger these thoughts. 

. 

Memento    -   24 Oct 19 

It may not seem much 

But the memories 

Which cling 

To a small shape 

Held in my hand 

A memento of you 

. 

It can be anything as long as the memory is still present. 

. 

Watching Waves

.

Solitude by the sea. 

. 

Watching Waves    -    23 Oct 19 

Out on the headland 

No one else around 

Nothing else to do 

So I am watching waves 

Roll in to the shore 

Each different yet 

All the same 

Sea saying hello 

With each wave 

. 

It can be so tranquil near the water edge. 

. 

Autumn Sunshine

.

Having to go out, the sun surprised and pleased me. 

. 

Autumn Sunshine    -    22 Oct 19 

Crisp golden 

Warming my body 

Rays of early morn 

Melting in the 

Autumn sunshine 

. 

Quite dazzling too. 

. 

Sails

.

When someone is in your life, loneliness does not last. 

. 

Sails   -   21 Oct 19 

Half way to the horizon 

My Lover sails

Carrying my Love always 

Parting not for long 

We shall be together soon 

For now we wait 

Till that moment 

. 

The moment. 

. 

Seeing You

.

Often seen in Love story movies. 

. 

Seeing You   -   20 Oct 19 

Somewhere 

You look up at the same Moon 

I watch each night 

Wondering whether 

We feel the same 

Feelings in the night 

Seeing you in the moonlight 

I know 

. 

Seeing you with all my eyes, whatever the time of day. 

. 

Nights

.

Transition from day into dream. 

. 

Nights    -   19 Oct 19 

At the end of a vanishing day 

The music of the world 

Fades peacefully 

Into the nights of dream 

Lullaby Lovesongs 

Gentle melodies 

Dance on in your dream 

. 

Allow the nights to wash over you. 

. 

In Them All

.

Inspired by the one special person. 

. 

In Them All   -   18 Oct 19 

Walking through 

The gardens 

Of my mind 

I am alone 

I remember 

Things to come 

Past 

Now 

Future 

Become mixed 

In my mind 

Because you are 

In them all

. 

A wonderful feeling. 

. 

Answer

.

Amazing how noisy silence can be. 

. 

Answer   -   17 Oct 19 

When we hear the silence 

Of a Loving Heart 

Whispering to us 

From the depths 

The ocean murmers 

One wave from the shore 

We know 

Our song has been heard 

The answer is spoken 

In the silence 

. 

Listen, carefully. 

. 

Love Story

.

A few tweaks by someone special helped me complete this poem. 

. 

Love Story    -   16 Oct 19 

A Love story which 

Never ends 

Has no beginning 

It just is 

Forever 

Delicate chords 

Tease my ears 

My mind 

The song continues sung softly 

While the Earth stops 

Whispered words fill the spaces 

Between imagined moments 

The world turns again 

Stronger shifting images 

From my Love story 

. 

It works. 

. 

Harvesting

.

Planning for the next harvest. 

. 

Harvesting   -   15 Oct 19 

Gathering thoughts 

Spread them out to dry 

In the sun 

Harvesting ideas 

Onward planting plans 

Thinking of the feast to come 

. 

It may be a continuing process but think about the pleasures. 

. 

Thoughts At Night

.

Exploring with a Lovely friend. 

. 

Thoughts At Night    -   14 Oct 19 

You are with me 

Here in a beautiful 

Endless night 

Exploring through the 

Thoughts of night 

Where everything 

Is possible 

. 

Discovering new adventures. 

. 

Afternoon Dreaming

.

The shape of the afternoon changes as we dream it. 

. 

Afternoon Dreaming    -   13 Oct 19 

Morning moved slowly 

Opening thoughts 

Hoping change 

From soft slow hours 

Through soft dreaming 

In an afternoon 

Of dreams 

Of afternoons in infinity 

. 

Spiral dreaming. 

. 

You Have

.

Something I was offered by someone special. 

. 

You Have    12 Oct 19 

Taking an unexpected path 

From a closed path 

To where you have 

Carried me to show me 

What you offer 

Always offering your Love 

To keep me safe 

And take me further 

To open my Heart 

. 

Nothing more to say, because... 

. 

A Winter Night

.

Love filled times. 

. 

A Winter Night    -   11 Oct 19 

A slight chill 

Encouraging closer contact 

The night filled 

With wished-for futures 

Growing the wishes 

In a winter dream 

With you 

. 

Those dreams are always Lovely. 

. 

Shadows Of Night

.

Watching the performers dance. 

. 

Shadows Of Night    -  10 Oct 19

Light watches 

The phantom dancers 

As they slide 

Gracefully into the 

Shadows of night 

To join the company 

Of performers 

Who dance in starlight 

. 

Starlight picks out their forms. 

. 

Shadows

.
Sometimes they move.

.
Shadows   -   09 Oct 19

Liquid darkness flows
Between cracks and
Under bridges
Bringing shape to light
Caught in the open
Held hostage by the shadows
Pilgrim wanderers in the night

.
Often seen only from the corner of the eye.

.

In Your Arms

.
A little Love song for a very special person.

.
In Your Arms   -   08 Oct 19

Surrounded and filled
By all the Love you give
I am content
In your arms
Giving you my Love

.
What is there but Love to give?

.

Cold Flames

.
A different edge to the world.

.
Cold Flames    -   07 Oct 19

Flames touch the dreams
Launch them into life
Resurrected ashes
Blown back to the fire
By the wind in the morning
Night passed
The way of the distant snow
Faded cold dreams
Warmed by the transient
Flames dancing in secret

.
The fires of a day gone by.

.

Shallows

.
Somewhere things are not always what they seem.

.
Shallows    -   06 Oct 19

Ripples hardly moving
Wrapping around
Dry stones
At the edge of the world
In the shallows
Of the universe
Whispers of a different place
Where stars call
From the deeps

.
Have you heard the call?

.

Watching

.
There is always something...

.
Watching   -  05 Oct 19

From a secret hidden place
Eyes can be seen watching
Aware of the movements
Around the worldly scheme
Cracks appear widen into
Chasms to swallow
Unwanted dreams

.
... lurking and observing.

.

Early Start

.
A poem inspired by an actual event.

.
Early Start   -   04 Oct 19

Travelling
In darkness
Waiting for the change
From night
Watching
The sky become pale
Set the trees
In silhouette
Early start
The journey continues

.
I do not recommend this to anyone.

.

Sensual Touches

.
More naughty thoughts for the special person.

.
Sensual Touches    -    03 Oct 19

Fingers
Circle
Finding
Sensitive places
Transforming pleasure
Through
Sensual touches
Into deeper places

.
Naughty thoughts are fun.

.

Dreaming With You

.
A distance apart but always together.

.
Dreaming With You    -   02 Oct 19

Each in our own space
Sharing unspoken thoughts
Yet knowing what the
Other wants
Deep within the mind
I am dreaming with you

.
Shared worlds.

.

Wander

.
Another thought of the special person.

.
Wander   -   01 Oct 19

You wander
From dream to dream
Between the moons
Not realising
That you are the dream
For me

.
The moons light the way for us.

.

Moments With You

.
The way I feel about the one special person.

.
Moments With You   -   30 Sep 19

Moments stretch into the infinite
Dreams of the eternal
With the touch and thoughts
Of our times together
You have made infinity
Too short for us

.
Always looking for more.

.

Thoughts

.
Just thinking.

.
Thoughts    -   29 Sep 19

Scattered
Geese talk with the clouds
Thoughts take flight
Join the conversation
In the aether
Home space
Words roll
With the ease of thunder
Wings outstretched
Awaiting an answer

.
Answers do come, eventually.

.

Dark And Stormy

.
It was a first line from someone else's work.

.
Dark And Stormy   -    28 Sep 19

Playing with the clichés
Invoking the stormy nights
In the dark of a thousand midnights
To wake the daemons of dream
Dragons wake from their slumber
To defend us from the daemons
And rescue us again

.
It was dark and stormy when I wrote this poem.

.

Spectres Feasting

.
Banquet in the night.

.
Spectres Feasting   -   27 Sep 19

Behind the veil of rain
Dark clouds gather and swirl
Dawn forced to wait
Upon the pleasure of night
Cold winds force their way
Through gaps to howl
At the banquet of sleep
Where spectres feast

.
They do not like to be watched by mortals.

.

Night Watches

.
Interesting things happen in the dark.

.
Night Watches   - 26 Sep 19

After darkness wraps the land
Other eyes open
In the closed dark
The night watches
The moves of the wanderers
When sleep holds
The sleeping eyes
From seeing

.
You will never know the mysteries if you sleep.

.
