Dreams Forming

.

Just a thought on how things work. 

. 

Dreams Forming    -    26 Dec 19 

Waves caress my mind 

I hear them 

I feel them 

They touch me 

In my dreams 

Waves forming 

Patterns in my thoughts 

They take me 

. 

Lying in bed and thinking. 

. 

I Do Not Need

.

Written on Christmas Eve while thinking about the someone special. 

. 

I Do Not Need    -    24 Dec 19 

I do not need 

To listen for sleigh bells 

The sound of footsteps 

On my roof 

I already have 

The best present 

I could ever wish for 

Do I need to say your name 

Thank you 

. 

She knows who she is. 

. 

Forgotten Days

.

So many people or events once thought to be important have faded. 

. 

Forgotten Days     -    23 Dec 19 

Hidden in the mists 

Of memories 

The days which once 

Had meaning 

Important because 

Someone was special 

For a while 

Now forgotten 

Lost in the maze of 

Forgotten days 

. 

I could fill a book with these people, if only I could remember them. 

. 

Forever Holding [Acrostic]

.

The construction of this poem was going to be completely different but suddenly the Acrostic format appeared and I went with it. 

. 

Forever Holding [Acrostic]     -    22 Dec 19

Feeling the warmth 

Of your Love 

Resting in your arms 

Early evening light 

Veil before the night 

Each day reveals the 

Riches in darkness

Hungry for the touch

Of Love 

Leaving me wanting more 

Desire burns 

In my Heart 

Now and forever 

Growing 

. 

The constraints of the Acrostic format brings new ways of thinking. 

. 

Sleeping Minstrel

.

I have heard those songs. 

. 

Sleeping Minstrel    -   21 Dec 19 

The sleeping minstrel wakes 

Long since his songs 

Have graced the hall 

Memories still haunt 

The wind and sing 

Of times past 

. 

Listen to the wind, you can hear them too. 

. 

Open Window

.

A blend of events, the scented breeze came off the sea, the honeysuckle overhung my back garden.  Otherwise these thoughts are from a very long time ago. 

. 

Open Window    -    20 Dec 19 

Summer memories 

Sitting by an open window 

Feeling a warm scented breeze 

Honeysuckle flavours the air 

Drawing thoughts back 

As we used 

When memories 

Were being formed 

. 

This has nothing to do with any current relationship. 

. 

Waiting For You

.

Waiting is good when you know the end point. 

. 

Waiting For You      -    19 Dec 19 

Dreamstate 

Stars above the desert 

Sand welcomes my feet 

I stand looking 

At the point where 

Sunrise will happen 

Waiting for you 

. 

I know the end point. 

. 

Bottle

.

In the haze of a drink or many. 

. 

Bottle    -   18 Dec 19 

Once upon a memory 

I opened the bottle 

To drown tired days 

Waited for the change 

To come and greet me 

Change came 

Tired days gone 

Blurred images of 

Might have beens 

And hints of maybes 

Cluttered my head 

I could not remember 

What the bottle 

Was supposed to be doing 

I need another bottle 

. 

We have always been there at some point, be honest. 

. 

One Touch

.

A question, one which I know the answer. 

. 

One Touch    -    17 Dec 19 

All it ever took 

For me to fall 

For you 

One smile 

To captivate 

My Heart 

A twinkle in 

Your eyes 

How powerful 

Will 

One touch be 

Where will it take me 

. 

For that one special person. 

. 

Open Door

.

Watch but leave no mark. 

. 

Open Door    -    16 Dec 19 

Through an open door 

I have watched 

Times slipping 

From hands unfolded 

Dust upon the ballroom floor 

No footprints 

To mark the passage 

Of the hours 

I look to another door 

Framing a figure 

Watching me 

I leave no footprints 

. 

Not even one footprint. 

. 

Sun Trap

I feel this poem does not need any explanation.

. 

Sun Trap     -    15 Dec 19 

I wanted this day 

Never to end 

So I built a trap 

To hold the sun 

And keep it shining 

The trap held the sun 

But the tears flowed 

From a deep sadness 

And the sun faded 

Leaving only darkness 

I opened the trap 

To free the sun 

The tears slowly dried 

And the sky changed 

Into red as the sun set 

. 

Do not cage things which are meant to be free. 

. 

Dreams Often Seem

.

This is how dreams often appear. 

. 

Dreams Often Seem     -    14 Dec 19 

Dreams allow an 

Explication 

Into places 

Where access is not 

Usually permitted 

Often giving visitors 

A view of unreality 

And unexpected things 

Giviing an opportunity 

To explore 

Seem to have 

A life of their own 

Sometime Eldrich 

Always unexpected 

Beware explorer 

. 

A little experiment in which the title is the first word of each stanza. 

. 

Moon Watches

.

Feelings and observations. 

. 

Moon Watches    -    13 Dec 19 

Rain on my window 

Insistent 

Insisting 

Cold 

You know bed is warm 

Come 

Come to me 

From the warmth 

Of my bed I look up 

A face at my window 

Through rain bespattered glass 

Just hours after full 

I see the Moon 

In a myriad raindrop lenses 

Watching over me 

. 

Lovely to see the friendly face watching me. 

. 

Wishing You [Haiku]

.

Thoughts about the one special person. 

. 

Wishing You [Haiku]    -    12 Dec 19

Keeping thoughts alive 

Dreams mix with reality 

Wishing you were here 

. 

Just some Lovely thoughts. 

. 

Whispering To Me

.

Out of a dream, whispers. 

. 

Whispering To Me    -     11 Dec 19 

From a dream I heard 

A soft voice calling 

My name gently 

Whispering in a forest 

Words to bring me back 

To her again 

She knew me and 

Knew whispering to me 

Would capture 

My attention 

I would be by her side 

Again and forever 

. 

Just for the one special person. 

. 

Telling Stones

.

The storyteller speaks again. 

. 

Telling Stones    -   10 Dec 19 

In a world which 

Has always existed 

The storyteller 

Weaves a new tale 

Stolen from the edge 

Stones carry ancient 

Stories from 

Beyond the end 

Before the beginning 

Just telling stories 

To appease and please 

The spirits who always 

Have been 

. 

Have you listened to the storyteller? 

. 

Dragon Stories

.

Tales requested and told. 

. 

Dragon Stories     -    09 Dec 19 

She said 

Tell me a story 

Of the times when 

Dragons played 

In the forests 

Near the sea 

I told her 

Of the songs 

The minstrels play 

As the choir 

Sang sweet songs 

Of the dragons 

She asked me 

To tell more about 

The circling maidens 

And how they danced 

To please the dragons 

As they flew 

I told her of the circles 

On the moor where 

The dragons watched 

The merriment of the maidens 

In the dawn before 

The day really woke 

. 

Dragons are wonderful people. 

. 

Talking In Whispers

.

Making sure that there is no risk of disturbance. 

. 

Talking In Whispers     -    08 Dec 19 

Talking in whispers 

So that the night 

Would not wake 

Leaving the dream 

Untouched for others 

To experience 

. 

Untouched dreams are so much better. 

. 

Take Me Home

.

Heading to the only real home. 

. 

Take Me Home     -     07 Dec 19 

Into a dream 

Falling in Love again 

Take me home 

I rest in the solitude 

Of the night 

Falling in Love again 

Take me from the dream 

Into your Heart 

Take me home 

. 

Inspired by thoughts of the special person. 

. 

Distant Shores

.

A three line poem. 

. 

Distant Shores    -    05 Dec 19 

Reflected in the distant stars 

The shores of Earth 

Glisten in rainbow hues 

. 

A modern Haiku for your delectation. 

. 

Worldsbeyond

.

An accidental typo inspired a train of thought which led to this poem. 

. 

Worldsbeyond     -    04 Dec 19 

Somewhen 

I looked at the star 

Whispered my name 

Summoning 

The unknown me 

To speak with 

The unseen me 

In the worldsbeyond 

Where none have talked 

Before 

I wait for an answer 

. 

A strange place. 

. 

Sweet Breath

.

The Lovely taste of the evening. 

. 

Sweet Breath    -    03 Dec 19 

Last wind 

An ancient gasp 

Caught in the twilight 

Endless days 

Wrapped in the breath 

Of the evening 

I remember 

Sweet winds which carried 

Wishes and dreams 

From the dawn 

Through the forever day 

Till the evening arrived 

And the final breath of now 

Was claimed 

. 

A long time between dawn and evening. 

. 

Listening

.

Listen to all the sounds from everywhere. 

. 

Listening    -    02 Dec 19 

Heartbeats 

Thunder within 

Telling you that I 

Am alive 

Are you listening 

To the pulse 

Talking to you 

Leading us into 

A sacred dance 

. 

Listening is always a good idea. 

. 

Travelled

.

I had a few good suggestions from someone special on how to refine this poem, I took them gratefully and you now see the final version. 

. 

Travelled     -     01 Dec 19 

In a dark night when stars 

Are sleeping 

Clouds talk of other days 

Under other suns 

Drifting and awakening 

I have seen the moons 

Dance in a scarlet sky

Over distant worlds 

Which carry no name 

No peoples trod the land 

No words to tell the tales 

Of other worlds beyond 

Between undertaking 

And the depths of sanity 

Imagined shades in the night 

I have travelled where I cannot be 

Reality does not want me 

I have seen enough 

I shall return 

To my homeworld 

. 

I think this works, what is your opinion?

. 

Evening By The Fire

.

Those contented moments, sitting together. 

. 

Evening By The Fire     -    30 Nov 19 

After a slow day 

We sat and watched the flames 

Chase each other 

Around the logs 

The evening was also slow 

But we were happy 

Sitting by the fire 

Wrapped in each other 

Held in Love 

. 

Happy moments with the one special person. 

. 

Owl Whispers

.

Heard but not seen, a whisper in the dusk. 

. 

Owl Whispers     -     29 Nov 19 

Secret places hidden in the Heart 

Sharing the moment of moonrise 

Owls whisper a song of sleep 

As the wind leads the sun 

Into the cold sky 

One owl whispers the spell 

To carry us all 

. 

I find owlsong fascinating. 

. 

Touching You

.

Finding Love to share. 

. 

Touching You     -     28 Nov 19 

In the secret places 

Warm and dark 

A secret place exists 

One person is permitted 

To have access to the secret 

Touching you is the path 

To pleasure and Love 

I have the key 

.

Guard the secret carefully. 

. 

Welcoming Sea

.

The sea Loves. 

. 

Welcoming Sea     -    27 Nov 19 

Slow waves 

Take sadness away 

Into the deeps 

The sea is welcoming 

Slow waves caress 

Forgetfulness 

Drowns 

Unwelcome thoughts 

In slow waves 

. 

Welcome forgetfulness and let it take problems away. 

. 

Remembering

.

Being aware of all the echoes. 

. 

Remembering    -   26 Nov 19

Times to come future memories 

In the dusk remembering 

Five candles lit in the morning 

Hold the light from the night 

Given freely to the day 

The future memories of the dawn 

Echo through the mind 

Waking waking 

The unwritten to scatter them 

Stars in an imagined world dream 

Waiting waiting 

. 

The memories are arriving. 

. 

Myths

.

Gaining understanding by observation. 

. 

Myths      -     25 Nov 19 

Listen to the rainbow 

Taste the wind 

Sing with the birds 

Remember 

The myths of time 

Unchained among the stars 

Remembering 

Light changing into darkness 

Carry me to the rainbow 

Where the words 

Can take me further 

And let me know the meaning 

. 

Looking deep into the myths. 

. 

Remembering

.

Focusing on the what might be. 

. 

Remembering     -     26 Nov 19 

Times to come future memories 

In the dusk remembering 

Five candles lit in the morning 

Hold the light from the night 

Given freely to the day 

The future memories of the dawn 

Echo through the mind 

Waking waking 

The unwritten to scatter them 

Stars in an imagined world dream 

Waiting waiting 

.

Looking to see if they can be remembered.
