Dreams Of Snow

.

Those days were magical, now they are just soggy. 

. 

Dreams Of Snow      -      25 Dec 20 

Memories of days 

Long gone 

The land was white 

Silent 

Now I see rain 

The land is wet 

I still have 

Dreams of snow 

. 

Bored with the rain. 

. 

Mirror Of A Dream

.

Most people never see themselves in a dream. 

. 

Mirror Of A Dream       -      24 Dec 20 

I cannot see myself 

Only a shadow 

Across the dream mirror 

Hanging on the wall 

Of a hall 

Waiting to be visited 

To break the shadow 

. 

The reflection cannot be seen either. 

. 

Confused

So easy to be this way.

. 

Confused      -      23 Dec 20 

Here or not here 

Shadows of reality 

Dark in light 

Minds confused 

By the way 

That shifts in reality 

Change perception 

. 

Maintain focus on what is. 

. 

The Key [Haiku]

.

Written with someone special in mind. 

. 

The Key [Haiku]      -     22 Dec 20

You are the key which 

Opened my Heart to your Love 

In eternity 

. 

A statement of fact. 

. 

Solstice

.

This is a good time of the year. 

. 

Solstice       -      21 Dec 20 

Shortest day 

Longest night 

Solstice is the key 

To winter 

. 

Winter might be starting but Spring is not far behind. 

. 

Feeling You

.

Wherever I am. 

. 

Feeling You      -     20 Dec 20 

Softness 

A gentle smile 

Inviting 

A gentle kiss 

Leading me 

Feeling you 

Taking me 

Taking me 

. 

I can feel this. 

. 

Seeing

.

Something more to be found. 

. 

Seeing       -       19 Dec 20 

Missing something 

I am aware 

Of hearing 

Even smelling and tasting 

But I am not 

Seeing the other world 

I know to be 

In my grasp 

And I wait for the secret door 

Of the Moon 

To open 

. 

The door is beginning to open. 

. 

Dream Mirror

.

Seen from my window just before bed. 

. 

Dream Mirror      -      18 Dec 20 

Rippling mirror 

Reflecting silver 

From a lamp outside 

A house 

Rain does not stop 

Even in the magic 

Of a dream 

. 

Quite a fascinating image, I spent a few minutes just watching it. 

. 

Remembered

.

Those echoes from the past still drift around.

.

Remembered       -      17 Dec 20 

In places I have seen 

The shadows of where 

I have been still linger 

Hearing the conversations 

More than just a murmur 

Remembered hours 

Echo from the days 

Into the now 

. 

Sometimes it is good to see and hear again. 

. 

With Me

.

Remembered images of the Holy Wells here in Cornwall. 

. 

With Me       -      16 Dec 20 

In the secret sacred places 

We are together always 

You share the waters 

With me as we drink 

From the well 

Where life springs 

Eternallly 

Spirits sing us 

. 

Magical days. 

. 

Chance Meeting

.

The most interesting things happen. 

. 

Chance Meeting      -     15 Dec 20 

Walking 

Thinking my thoughts 

Into my presence 

You slip softly 

Sweetly 

Making me aware 

In the chance meeting 

Something begins 

To grow 

And become 

. 

There are no coincidences. 

. 

A Day In Time [Acrostic]

.

This grew unexpectedly as I was contemplating what to write. 

. 

A Day In Time [Acrostic]      -     14 Dec 20

All secret thoughts flow 

Dangling incentives 

Against the skies 

You can feel 

Intensive urges which can 

Never be ignored 

The feelings which grow 

In our minds 

Must be actualised 

Eventually or they will fade 

. 

Exploring the day. 

. 

Moon Bathing

.

Just as Lovely as sun bathing. 

. 

Moon Bathing      -      13 Dec 20

In a secret place 

I sit 

Naked 

Bathing in 

The light from the Moon 

. 

The energies are strong. 

. 

Dreamy Day

.

Memories of those Lovely summer days. 

. 

Dreamy Day      -     12 Dec 20 

Sublime 

Quiet and peaceful 

Gentle hum of passing insects 

Occasional birdsong 

Adding a soft counterpoint 

To the feel of the day 

Holding me in the dreamy feel 

Letting me slide into 

The warm dream 

Of a summer day 

. 

They were Lovely days. 

. 

In Me

What I can feel.

. 

In Me      -      11 Dec 20 

Feeling you 

With me 

Beside me 

In my thoughts 

In me 

. 

Some interesting thoughts. 

. 

Locket

.

Hiding in plain sight. 

. 

Locket      -      10 Dec 20 

On a silver chain 

Nestled between her breasts 

A little piece of silver 

Holding a secret image 

Within the locket 

Eternal Love 

. 

A little piece of eternity. 

. 

Leaves

.

Autumn vision, can you see it? 

. 

Leaves      -      09 Dec 20 

Once stuck to trees 

Now stuck to footpaths 

Or if they are considered 

Interesting 

Stuck between the leaves 

Of a book of memories 

. 

Sadly most are just a brown mess. 

. 

New Words

Always a good idea to find different ways to say things.

. 

New Words      -     08 Dec 20 

Different ways to say 

The same things 

Trying to find 

New words 

To keep the message 

Fresh and interesting 

. 

Not always easy, often going back to the same way is the best. 

. 

Meeting

.

This can happen anywhere and at any time. 

. 

Meeting      -     07 Dec 20 

By chance 

A sudden encounter 

A meeting of like Souls 

In an unexpected 

Afternoon 

. 

Always be ready for these to happen. 

. 

Another World

.

I found you waiting. 

. 

Another World      -     06 Dec 20 

Searching for a different 

Way to see 

For a different place 

To be 

I found another world 

Which held you 

Waiting for me 

The welcome I felt 

I never had before 

Now I am home 

. 

You were here all along, I just did not see you. 

. 

Journal

.

How many diaries actually say important things? 

. 

Journal       -      05 Dec 20 

Reams of close writ text 

Detailing 

The events of daily life 

Year after year 

Of interest to a very few 

But still the journal 

Is kept 

On papers bound 

To make them 

Look important 

. 

I do not know where my old diaries are now. 

. 

Snow Coming

.

There is something about the flavour of the air. 

. 

Snow Coming      -      04 Dec 20 

I can taste the snow 

In the air 

Wind carries the flavour 

Of the crystals 

To me 

I know that 

Snow coming 

Is inevitable 

Breathe 

Taste for yourself 

. 

This is something I have been able to do for ages. 

. 

A Touch Of Silver [Haiku]

.

An image to consider. 

. 

A Touch Of Silver [Haiku]      -    03 Dec 20

Moonlight outlines a 

Secret shape in the darkness 

A touch of silver 

. 

The Moon can show many things. 

. 

Rain In The Night [Haiku]

.

Thoughts on what I can hear. 

. 

Rain In The Night [Haiku]      -     02 Dec 20

Footsteps on the glass 

Announce the arrival of 

Cold rain in the night 

. 

The sound is chilling. 

. 

Open

.

The book of the year. 

. 

Open       -       01 Dec 20 

An open book 

As the year draws 

To an end 

Dreams scribed 

In tears 

Of joy and sorrow 

Both due to completion 

Soon this book will close 

And another will open 

. 

The words are not to be read by us. 

. 

In The Essence

.

The work of a spiritual apothecary is interesting. 

. 

In The Essence      -      30 Nov 20 

Brewing a new batch 

Of the tincture 

Blending and stirring 

Gently 

In the essence of 

The herbs and special spices 

An element of mystery 

Is growing 

I know this well 

. 

Feeling the power. 

. 

Gathering

.

A prophecy is being mapped out. 

. 

Gathering       -      19 Nov 20 

The elves are meeting 

Gathering in the woods 

Warning of a change 

In the weather 

Wind from the North 

A frigid song sung 

Through the trees 

Endlessly keening 

Beware the ides of December 

. 

Weather shifts at the beginning of the month. 

. 

Daytime Dream

.

Thoughts mingled, memories and dreams of you. 

. 

Daytime Dream      -      28 Nov 20

Sitting in the sunshine 

Watching the damselflies 

Dance above the stream 

Not really focused 

More intent on the thoughts 

Of you in my daytime dream 

And drifting toward you 

As my dream develops 

And grows 

. 

The damselflies from decades ago, you now and always. 

. 

Tasting

.

Always sampling. 

. 

Tasting      - 27 Nov 20 

All the unique flavours 

Of you come together 

In one special blend 

When I am tasting you 

To discover which parts 

I prefer and 

What I want to combine 

To enjoy 

. 

The answer is, all of you. 

. 

Flight Of Night

.

Panic from an unexpected place. 

. 

Flight Of Night      -     26 Nov 20 

As if chased 

The images of night 

Flee 

Scattering dust 

Into the watching eye 

Night is afraid 

Of itself 

What can it do 

In the light 

The flight of night 

Causes panic in the 

Nightmares 

. 

Calm them down. 

. 

Tapestry Of Stars

.

Look into the sky and see for yourself. 

. 

Tapestry Of Stars      -     25 Nov 20 

Woven memories 

Infused with light 

Of a myriad stars 

Shaped by a skilful hand 

Into a tapestry 

Telling the story 

Of eternity 

. 

Read the story. 

. 

Midnight Kisses

.

Such Lovely feelings. 

. 

Midnight Kisses      -     24 Nov 20 

Subtle sensation 

Almost a dream 

Enters my thoughts 

Gentle thoughts 

Shared 

As you walk 

Through the gardens 

Of my mind 

Scattering your 

Thoughts and dreams 

As you go 

I invite you to stay 

And share your 

Midnight kisses 

With me 

. 

She agreed. 

. 

Weather Dark

.

Something else which has been happening too often here. 

. 

Weather Dark     -      23 Nov 20 

Open the other door 

Hoping for light 

But 

The day did not want 

To cooperate 

And the night continued 

With weather dark 

As the cloud closed 

Trapping the sun 

. 

I guess that is what you get with winter. 

. 

Flower Of The Night

.

Inspired by the weather recently this poem was birthed. 

. 

Flower Of The Night      -     22 Nov 20 

Dancing with the shadow 

Of the Vampire 

Surrounded by a lonely 

Dream of the 

Flower of the night 

Wondering what 

The night winds 

Will bring 

The petals of the flowers 

Carried away on the 

Winds of the night 

Bare stalks greet 

The dawn 

. 

Some flowers are more resilient. 

. 

In The Night [Haiku]

.

I Love playing with words. 

. 

In The Night [Haiku]       -     20 Nov 20

In the night waiting 

Dreaming of the distant Moon

Wishing she was here 

. 

She is always here. 

. 

Tasting A Kiss

.

I do not think that I need to explain this poem. 

. 

Tasting A Kiss      -     19 Nov 20 

Honey sweet 

Filled with the fire 

Of exotic spice 

Fragrant flavours 

Your lips 

Transport me 

Tasting a kiss 

From you 

I desire more 

From your lo

Fire of passion 

Ignite me 

. 

No explanation required. 

. 

Beginnings

Something new.

. 

Beginnings      -      18 Nov 20 

Slow morning waves 

Caress the shore 

As I wait for 

The beginnings 

Of the opening movement 

To caress my Heart 

. 

Soft gentle hands. 

. 

Ship Of Dream

.

Sailing across new oceans. 

. 

Ship Of Dream      17 Nov 20 

Sails taut with the wind 

Pointing the way 

Across the ocean 

Through the open mind 

The ship of dream 

Carries me 

To the new 

. 

New things to be found. 

. 

Sometimes

.

One of those strange places. 

. 

Sometimes      -     16 Nov 20 

I look 

Can I see 

Sometimes 

I can 

Other times 

The world 

Is invisible 

Or inverted laterally 

A mirror dark 

Claims the light 

And hides me too 

In the black silver 

. 

Invisible is something to be. 

. 

Connection

This is the way the special one and I communicate.

. 

Connection      -      15 Nov 20 

Always together 

Physically apart 

Feeling our connection 

Stronger than 

Our separation 

We are one 

Eternallly 

. 

Eternallly. 

. 

Left Alone

.

In darkness wandering. 

. 

Left Alone      -      14 Nov 20 

In the darkness of 

The predawn world 

I was alone 

In the night 

Left alone 

To find a way 

To find the light 

By myself alone 

Wandering 

In the darkness 

.. 

Always looking. 

. 

Wanting You

.

How I feel quite often. 

. 

Wanting You      -      13 Nov 20 

Standing 

Feeling alone 

And 

Wanting you 

To be with me 

So we can 

Complete each other 

The way we want 

. 

Never alone for long. 

. 

Secrets Of Tomorrow

.

There is a veil between now and tomorrow. 

. 

Secrets Of Tomorrow      -     12 Nov 20 

Looking around 

No answers can be seen 

Looking forward 

The veil obscures 

Hiding all 

The secrets of tomorrow 

They are not to be viewed 

Until the time is ripe 

. 

The secrets will be there soon. 

. 

Starway

.

Everyone climbs the stairway, I go to the stars. 

. 

Starway     -     11 Nov 20 

In all the ages 

I have walked the worlds 

Through the endless 

Eternal dark 

I climbed the starway 

To find where 

It may lead 

Stars at my feet 

And all around me 

. 

What a Lovely view. 

. 

Never

.

Looking for the truth. 

. 

Never      -      10 Nov 20 

Having an image 

Of the eternal 

Never did I see 

The perfect truth 

Which surrounded me 

To guide me 

Because I lived 

In my blindness 

Even though my 

Eyes were open 

. 

Look. 

. 

Rain Again

This has been happening rather a lot recently.

. 

Rain Again      -     09 Nov 20 

Morning sunshine 

Now just a memory 

As the clouds gathered 

Sweeping the light away 

Damp air 

Filled with rain again 

. 

A bit too often. 

. 

Endings

.

A way of looking at things. 

. 

Endings      -     08 Nov 20 

Completion 

Of a special creation 

Forming a special shape 

In the fabric of reality 

Not endings 

New beginnings 

. 

Always moving on. 

. 

The Only Song

.

Listen for your song. 

. 

The Only Song     -     07 Nov 20

I have listened 

Carefully 

For the music 

But all I can hear 

Is the only song 

Which has any meaning 

The song of you 

. 

The only song to which it is worth listening.

. 

Quiet In The Day

.

Waiting for the breath of change. 

. 

Quiet In The Day      -     06 Nov 20 

Moments filled with 

A little hush 

An expectancy of 

Special feelings 

Ready for the gentle change 

In the quiet in the day 

The world is silent 

Waiting too 

. 

I can hear the breath. 

. 

Dreaming With You

A modern Haiku, thinking of someone special.

. 

Dreaming With You      -     05 Nov 20 

Together or apart 

I am always 

Dreaming with you 

. 

I cannot stop. 

. 

Evening Wish

Lovely thoughts in the warmth of the evening.

. 

Evening Wish      -     04 Nov 20 

Sweet darkness 

A fire to warm 

And you 

In the evening 

I wish 

Together 

This night 

Will last 

Forever 

. 

This is a wish I always have. 

. 

Dreamer

.

I have been doing this for so long. 

. 

Dreamer      - 03 Nov 20 

I have been called a dreamer 

That is my task 

To dream things into being 

If it was not for me 

And people like me 

Nothing would exist 

Come dream with me 

. 

Not always an easy task. 

. 

When They Come

.

Hoofbeats in the distance. 

. 

When They Come      -     02 Nov 20 

Knowing 

Peace is shattered 

Tranquility 

Gone in a moment 

Riders 

Change everything 

When they come 

. 

Waiting with trepidation. 

. 

Songs Of Longing

.

Longing is sometimes all I have. 

. 

Songs Of Longing      -      01 Nov 20 

In the night 

When all is quiet and calm 

A thought stirs 

And shakes my mind 

Calling you 

Back to me 

Wishing we were together 

Again 

The only thing I have 

In these moments 

Are the 

Songs of longing 

Somewhen soon 

We can be together 

But for now 

We wait 

. 

Waiting patiently. 

. 

Morning Kiss

.

This is how I want to be woken every day.

. 

Morning Kiss      -      31 Oct 20 

Soft lips wake me slowly 

Warm breath on my cheek 

Gentle arousal 

With the morning kiss 

. 

Slowly entering the day. 

. 

Then The Open Door

.

A slightly disturbing poem today. 

. 

Then The Open Door      -      30 Oct 20 

Dark corridor 

Holds the musty form 

Cobwebs shape 

The outline of darkness 

Through which 

Can be seen 

A glimmer of light 

And then the open door 

Closes 

. 

A silent door. 

. 

Breathing

.

A meditative exercise. 

. 

Breathing      -     29 Oct 20 

Slow indrawn breath 

Gentle cycle 

Warm 

Out breath 

Release 

Tension cleared 

Breathing 

Breathing 

. 

Gently, never force it. 

. 

Stormy Sea

.

Before the sea can be understood she must be carefully observed. 

. 

Stormy Sea      -      28 Oct 20 

Swirls of foam 

Hide the surface 

Air of mystery on the water 

Depths invisible 

Where the growing forms 

Gather under the 

Stormy sea 

. 

Even after observation the sea has many secrets. 

. 

Unexpected Touch

.

A touch can trigger so many different thoughts. 

. 

Unexpected Touch      -      27 Oct 20 

Thinking about something else 

When a surprise 

Unexpected touch 

Brought attention back 

Suddenly 

Pleasantly 

Her eyes touched 

My gaze 

Her hand touched 

My arm 

And I was drawn 

Into the spirit dance 

. 

Fascinating how a touch can make a connection. 

. 

Maybe Time

.

Things never seem to move as fast as we want, perhaps that is for the best. 

. 

Maybe Time      -      26 Oct 20 

Waiting in hope 

For something to change 

Watching the portents 

The signs never seem to change 

Maybe time will bring 

What we want 

. 

Patience is best. 

. 

Day Riders

.

Trying to be careful but there is always a risk. 

. 

Day Riders       -      25 Oct 20 

Nightmares are always feared 

But 

There is something much worse 

Never mentioned 

Anywhere 

Because the voicing of their name 

Can call them 

Do not even whisper the name of 

The Day Riders 

I am sorry if I have accidentally 

Called them 

. 

A potential horror story in a poem. 

. 

After [Acrostic]

.

Playing with words is so much fun. 

. 

After [Acrostic]       -      24 Oct 20

All the morning moments 

Fade into a blur wrapping the world 

Tenderly into an endless dream 

Entangling all the strands 

Reality rewoven to something new 

. 

I am enjoying myself. 

. 

Different Sights

.

Watching always. 

. 

Different Sights      -      23 Oct 20 

Keeping watch from my chair 

So many things I can see 

Most are expected but some 

Can cause surprise and puzzlement 

Many things in the different sights 

Laying a trail to Elsewhen 

. 

Never know what I will see. 

. 

Breathing You

.

So easy to get distracted. 

. 

Breathing You     -     22 Oct 20 

The feeling of a wandering hand 

Distracts the ear 

From full attention 

Breathing you completes 

The distraction and 

I am lost 

In you 

. 

My favourite. 

. 

Taking A Kiss

.

Not stealing. 

. 

Taking A Kiss      -     21 Oct 20 

Sneaking 

Advantage gained 

Unexpected 

Surprise 

Taking a kiss 

From willing lips 

. 

Definitely not stealing. 

. 

Night Vow

.

Said for someone really special. 

. 

Night Vow     -     20 Oct 20 

A voice heard as if in dream 

Just a few simple words 

Spoken deep within 

Only for one person 

This in the night 

I vow to you 

I will always be here for you 

. 

This can only be said to one person. 

. 

Dark Tide

.

I have seen this. 

. 

Dark Tide      -      19 Oct 20 

Stars washed 

In a sea of darkness 

Night claims the tide 

In the formless waves 

Nestling in the dark 

Beneath the phantom cliffs 

. 

All around is darkness. 

. 

Between Thoughts

.

So easy to be held in this way. 

. 

Between Thoughts      -     18 Oct 20 

Never certain which way 

My mind is looking 

I feel I am trapped 

Between thoughts 

. 

An empty space asking to be filled. 

. 

Muse

.

This is what she did. 

. 

Muse      -      17 Oct 20

You looked at my words 

Knew what I wanted to say 

Added a little mental shine 

And handed them back to me 

You are my Lovely Muse 

You can see into me 

And show me 

Me 

. 

For my one special person who is also my Muse. 

Cold Hands

.

Working on the old phrase. 

.

Cold Hands      -     16 Oct 20 

You said, 

I felt the Love 

From your Heart

Flowing through me 

But you are a living 

Example of the adage 

I shiver when you 

Touch my skin 

Cold hands warm Heart 

. 

I guess my Heart must be glowing. 

. 

Even This

.

My thoughts on a truism. 

. 

Even This      -     15 Oct 20 

In the tides of change 

To expect things 

To remain unaltered 

Is a false hope 

There is only one 

Consistent thing 

That even this 

Must change 

. 

Change is inevitable. 

. 

Flowers

.

A modern Haiku for your delectation today. 

. 

Flowers      -      14 Oct 20 

On a wall 

The last gift of Summer 

Flowers watching 

. 

Seeing them in quite a few places. 

. 

Dreams In Dreams

.

This happened a few days ago. 

. 

Dreams In Dreams      -     13 Oct 20 

I was talking 

Scene shift 

I woke 

Into a dream 

Listened to some music 

But it woke me 

Having a conversation 

Shifting scenes 

When am I asleep 

Or waking 

. 

The waking dreams can be confusing. 

. 

Ever Held

.

A modern Haiku, Love song. 

. 

Ever Held      -      12 Oct 20 

Eternallly in my arms 

I have held you 

Ever held 

. 

This is where she is always. 

. 

Wind

.

An exercise in the letter "N". 

. 

Wind      -     11 Oct 20 

Now sighing 

Now shaking the window 

Never permitting the quiet 

No peace from the 

North wind 

. 

The letter format was not anticipated, it just grew. 

. 

Thinking Of You

. 

Not just in the evenings. 

. 

Thinking Of You     -     10 Oct 20 

In moments 

When the evening 

Closes gently around me 

My mind turns to you 

To relive the wonderful times 

To consider the times to come 

Thinking of you 

Is a Lovely place 

I am always there 

. 

Always. 

. 

Wind Shake

.

Shaping like the wind. 

. 

Wind Shake       -     09 Oct 20 

Shifting 

Invisible movement 

Except for the trees 

They shake in the wind 

Reshaping the world form 

In tiny ways 

Subtle touches 

Waving 

. 

Felt and heard rather than seen. 

. 

Distant Dreams

.

On the shore, dreams seem so far away. 

. 

Distant Dreams      -      08 Oct 20 

The darkness wrapped me 

Put my dreams 

Into an old seashell 

I put the shell to my ear 

To try and catch the words 

In the distant waves 

All I heard was the whisper 

Of the Moon as she told 

The tales which dwelt there 

But my dreams 

Were silent 

Again 

. 

Have you tried to listen to your dreams? 

. 

Multiverse Waiting

.

Just a thought... 

. 

Multiverse Waiting      -     07 Oct 20 

Too small they think 

Who only consider the Universe 

When there is so much more 

The Multiverse is waiting 

. 

Travel across the Everywhen. 

. 

And You

A Love song and a statement about the one special person.

. 

And You      -     06 Oct 20 

Places waiting 

Ideas formulating 

Growing in my mind 

And you 

Are always here 

With me 

To experience them all 

With me 

. 

Beautiful company. 

. 

Difference

.

Comparing times 

. 

Difference      -     05 Oct 20 

Remembering summer 

A hazy drift of images 

Falling through my mind 

Giving pleasure 

As they pass 

What a difference 

In the now 

Of the frozen form 

In the chill 

Of autumn 

. 

It is so different. 

. 

Cold Day

.

Happening rather a lot recently. 

. 

Cold Day      -     04 Oct 20 

On a day 

Feeling 

Experiencing emotions 

Flowing 

Wondering where 

The warmth from 

The sun went 

Cloud 

Makes the day cold 

Again 

. 

There is still more to come. 

. 

Lakeside

Quiet times held in memories.

. 

Lakeside     -    03 Oct 20 

Remembering an age 

When times were much slower 

And tides happened elsewhere 

Even though the Moon 

Danced here as well 

She kept the waters 

Of the lakeside calm 

. 

Remembering those times. 

. 

Open World

.

One of those nights when the dreams are dark too. 

. 

Open World      -     02 Oct 20 

I have been there 

On a dark night 

In sunless dreams 

Held in the morning 

Of an open world 

Still bound by the darkness 

Of the night 

. 

The world is a fantasy. 

. 

Unknown

.

From somewhen else perhaps. 

. 

Unknown      -     01 Oct 20 

Watched by eyes I have never seen 

Heard voices which could never exist 

I am taunted by the unknown 

The ones who are there 

But not present 

. 

Lurking in unexpected places. 

. 

Private Moments

Always a good fun thing to have.

. 

Private Moments     -     30 Sep 20 

To share a kiss 

And maybe more... 

Definitely more 

Requires time 

In private moments 

When a little 

Passion 

Can be allowed 

Freedom to explore 

. 

Private moments are vital. 

. 

Evening Fires

.

Those Lovely times, sitting by the hearth gazing into the flickering light. 

. 

Evening Fires      -     29 Sep 20 

Watching the spirits 

Chase around the logs 

Hearing them speak 

To the wood 

Give thanks to the tree 

Which gave a branch 

To feed the evening fires 

. 

Calm, restful time. 

. 

Quiet Evening

Rain is not constant but it feels that way.

. 

Quiet Evening      -     28 Sep 20 

The day had been noisy 

Constant rain upon the roof 

Sunset was announced 

Cloud obscured 

Dark became darker 

Evening beside the fire 

Closed the noise 

Became quiet 

World at rest 

. 

Feeling cold because of the sound of rain on the window. 

. 

Rain Whispers

. A very short poem, a modern Haiku.

. 

Rain Whispers      -     27 Sep 20 

Clearly heard above the wind 

The whispers of the 

Falling rain 

. 

In the rain, I. 

. 

Tempting

.

Those fun, wicked invitations. 

. 

Tempting      -     25 Sep 20 

Words shaped by a smooth 

Moist tongue 

Twisting 

In the mouth 

Dancing in sinuous 

Movements 

Tempting 

Inviting 

Seducing 

. 

These spells are powerful. 

. 

Listening

.

Be aware of the sounds which are always present. 

. 

Listening      -     24 Sep 20 

The whispers 

Late in the day 

Inspire the secret 

Armies 

Listening to the 

Words we speak 

So quietly 

Not knowing 

We are being heard 

The insect sounds 

Are quiet 

Listening to us 

. 

Usually they cannot be heard through lack of attention. 

. 

Secret Desire

.

No words may be spoken. 

. 

Secret Desire     -     23 Sep 20 

Never told 

Nobody knows 

Nothing said 

Desire would not be 

A secret if words 

Were allowed 

To escape 

Quietly now 

Hush 

Whisper not 

. 

Let it be just between us. 

. 

Different Door

.

Sometimes I cannot be certain where I am. 

. 

Different Door     -     22 Sep 20 

Same hallway 

I think 

The walls all look 

The same 

But the invitations 

Change when passing 

Through a different door 

Cautious peep 

To see what is offered 

This time 

. 

Looking carefully. 

. 

Never Forgotten

.

Another special person poem. 

. 

Never Forgotten      -      19 Sep 20 

Wherever I go 

The tie to you is there 

I feel you 

Whatever I am doing 

The tie to you is strong 

I feel you 

Your touch is gentle 

But firm and clear 

I feel you 

Even more wonderful 

The tie goes both ways 

You feel me 

Invisible 

But never forgotten 

. 

The special person collaborates with me. 

. 

Special

.

Only the person for me. 

. 

Special      -     26 Sep 20 

Of all things 

And people 

None stand out 

More clearly 

Than the one 

Special person 

In my life 

She is for me 

I am for her 

Thank you 

. 

A Love song for her. 

. 

One

.

Thinking about the one special person. 

. 

One      -     21 Sep 20 

Often considered to be perfect 

But it is a lonely number 

I prefer two rather than one 

Especially when the two 

Means being with you 

. 

Two is more fun. 

. 

Paths

.

Meetings sometimes happen by chance. 

. 

Paths      -       20 Sep 20 

Sometimes paths cross 

Randomly 

Occasionally eyes meet 

As one Soul says hello 

To another 

Mostly there is nothing 

And the crossing ends 

. 

Sometimes there is no recognition. 

. 

A Path

.

A remembering of times when the weather invited me to wander out. 

. 

A Path    - 10 Sep 20 

Walking 

No other footprints 

Are visible 

A path wherever 

Woodland 

Beach 

Sea 

I am taken 

Where 

I know not but 

When I arrive 

I will see 

. 

Cold Summer is not so inviting. 

. 

Longing

.

Always longing. 

. 

Longing     -     09 Sep 20 

Waiting for 

A special moment 

That moment 

When we can be together 

Longing for your touch 

Wanting the kisses we share 

Calling you to me 

To be together 

. 

I can say nothing more. 

Privacy. 

. 

Kisses

.

Travelling in total expectation. 

. 

Kisses     -     08 Sep 20 

In our kisses 

We can travel 

To find all our worlds 

Waiting for the breath 

Of Love 

. 

Something Lovely to find at the end of the journey. 

. 

Songs Of Tomorrow

Remembering in reverse time sequence.

. 

Songs Of Tomorrow      -     17 Sep 20 

Remembering tomorrow 

The universe sang 

Of the mysteries 

Of a place never seen 

But the dreams have written 

Songs of tomorrow 

Inviting a visit 

Into yesterday 

. 

I am never certain of the direction of travel. 

. 

Sometime

.

That secret place. 

. 

Sometime      -     16 Sep 20 

In a misplaced memory 

Still held not forgotten 

In a world 

Sometime thought 

Occasionally whispered 

Then brought out 

Held to lips and kissed 

Then returned 

To the special secret place 

Where 

. 

Where? 

All the wonderful things are kept. 

. 

When The Whispers Call

.

Listening to the call, welcoming it or dreading it, I do not know which. 

. 

When The Whispers Call     -     15 Sep 20 

Louder than the wind 

I hear them 

Sibilant voices 

In darkness are heard 

When the whispers call 

I pretend not to hear 

But my name is loudest 

Among the others 

In the call 

How long can I ignore 

. 

What will happen after? 

. 

Evening Slides

.

Watching and listening. 

. 

Evening Slides     -     14 Sep 20 

Alone on a clifftop 

Silence 

Apart from the distant waves 

Watching 

As the last vestiges of 

Evening slides 

Into the starless depths 

Silence continues 

As the ocean 

Breathes softly 

. 

Darkness closes in around me. 

. 

Daughter Of The Storm

.

I can sometimes see her riding in the sky. 

. 

Daughter Of The Storm       -      13 Sep 20 

She is always there 

Watching 

Learning 

Gaining insights 

Discovering new ways 

And techniques 

Of how to twist 

And distort the world 

Daughter of the storm 

Would soon be ready 

To build her own storms 

. 

Not long now. 

. 

Alone Never

.

She is always with me. 

. 

Alone Never      - 12 Sep 20 

There was always a light 

In her eyes 

She rivaled the sun 

As she watched over me 

And she told me 

That I would 

Never be alone 

Again 

. 

Happy to have the company. 

. 

Words Walking

.

A lot of empty places. 

. 

Words Walking     -     11 Sep 20 

Listening to the words 

They are walking 

In my mind 

Footsteps echo 

In the empty rooms 

Just the words 

Speaking endlessly 

. 

Slightly disturbing feelings. 

. 

A Path

.

Travelling in expectation. 

. 

A Path      -     10 Sep 20 

Walking 

No other footprints 

Are visible 

A path wherever 

Woodland 

Beach 

Sea 

I am taken 

Where 

I know not but 

When I arrive 

I will see 

. 

The path will show. 

. 

Longing

.

Craving the connection we both desire. 

. 

Longing     -    09 Sep 20 

Waiting for a special moment 

That moment when 

We can be together 

Longing for your touch 

Wanting the kisses we share 

Calling you to me 

To be 

Together 

. 

Always calling the special person. 

. 

Kisses

.

Once experienced, never forgotten. 

. 

Kisses      -     08 Sep 20 

In our kisses 

We can travel 

To find all our worlds 

Waiting for the breath 

Of Love 

. 

The kisses know how to move. 

. 

Half A Thought

.

A little poem with great depth. 

. 

Half A Thought      -      07 Sep 20 

All it took 

Was half a thought 

To bring you back 

To me 

. 

She provided the other half of the thought. 

. 

Asking For A Moment

.

Stepping out of when. 

. 

Asking For A Moment      -     06 Sep 20 

In the time between 

One footfall and the next 

An eternity passed 

All I was doing 

Was asking for a 

Moment 

When I could see 

How the shifting 

Words of sand 

Reform in the morning 

As the sun calls 

. 

Wondering if I will ever be granted that moment. 

. 

The Infinite Moon

.

A small poem with a Multiverse of possibilities. 

. 

The Infinite Moon      -     05 Sep 20 

Watching above the desert 

For the first signs 

Of the infinite Moon 

. 

She is beautiful. 

. 

Hearing You

.

Waiting for you to speak. 

. 

Hearing You      -      04 Sep 20 

Call my name 

I always hope 

To hear your voice 

Longing 

Hearing you 

In my mind 

Speak to me 

Call my name 

. 

Listening for that Lovely voice. 

. 

Another Place

.

When exploring takes you. 

. 

Another Place     - 03 Sep 20 

The quest takes me far 

Through lands I have 

Never seen before 

All in the world 

Of your thought 

Remembering 

There is always 

Another place 

To explore 

In the minds eye 

. 

Never be constrained by the paths. 

. 

Enough

.

An observation of the turning year. 

. 

Enough     -     02 Sep 20 

Autumn whispered 

In words of falling leaves

That Summer had given 

Enough this year 

Wanted to rest again 

The last bouquets 

Collected as reminders 

Winter waiting always 

. 

The bouquets never last. 

. 

In Between

.

In those places where reality is blurred I am looking. 

. 

In Between      -     01 Sep 20 

Touching 

The infinite spaces 

In between the when 

And the where 

I reach for your touch 

Touching 

The infinite you 

In between the you 

And the we 

I feel your touch 

. 

Reaching for you I find we. 

. 

Kiss Of Sunset

.

That Lovely moment when the sun fills your vision. 

. 

Kiss Of Sunset      -     30 Aug 20 

As the sun kissed 

The horizon 

I felt your lips 

Brush mine 

The kiss of sunset 

Shared with you 

In space 

. 

I often feel the sharing. 

. 

Will Winter Sing

.

This is a question I keep considering. 

. 

Will Winter Sing      -    29 Aug 20 

An icy draft from 

The mouth of Autumn 

Foretells the words 

To come before long 

The question lingers 

In the mind 

What 

Will Winter sing 

. 

An answer may come. 

. 

In Another World

.

About to travel. 

. 

In Another World      -     28 Aug 20 

She watched me 

I did not know 

She asked me 

What will you lose 

If you join me 

In another world 

I could not say 

When you know 

You will know me 

Follow me to see 

I will wait 

. 

A rather confused construction but that was how she communicated her thoughts to me. 

. 

Secret Dreaming

.

Waiting for the birth. 

. 

Secret Dreaming     -    27 Aug 20 

Those little places 

Where dreams are born 

Nurtured in secret 

By a dreaming nurse 

Till the time is right 

For it to emerge 

And fill the world 

. 

We are all nurses. 

. 

Seeking

.

I have never stopped looking. 

. 

Seeking      -     26 Aug 20 

I have been 

For many years 

More than I care to remember 

Seeking an answer 

To the question 

That only the wind 

Can answer 

Am I 

. 

Still waiting. 

. 

Thinking Sweet Thoughts

.

I am always doing this about the one special person. 

. 

Thinking Sweet Thoughts    -     25 Aug 20 

Thinking of you 

All the time 

And feeling your 

Sweet presence 

With me wherever 

I am 

Thoughts of you 

Fill my mind and 

My Heart 

. 

That is what she does for me. 

. 

Farewell [Acrostic]

Another Acrostic for your entertainment.

. 

Farewell [Acrostic]      24 Aug 20

For all the moments we have 

And will see together 

Remembering the special times 

Eternity has shown us 

Will always have a special place 

Endlessly growing and 

Lying in our thoughts and dreams 

Living forever 

. 

Fare well as we travel. 

. 

Taken

.

Unseasonable temperature in this summer. 

. 

Taken      -      23 Aug 20 

Snatched from awareness 

Summer warmth 

Wanted but never felt 

Taken from the Earth 

Will Winter be an improvement 

Or even colder

. 

Hoping it will be warmer soon. 

. 

Sliding Into Dusk

.

Another of the fireside thoughts. 

. 

Sliding Into Dusk     -     22 Aug 20 

A beautiful day together 

Memories built from the hours 

Now watching the evening 

Sliding into dusk 

Fires to keep us warm 

As we weave our memories 

Together to grow 

. 

Watching the flames as we cuddle. 

. 

A Moment Of A Thought

.

One of those times when being certain about anything can be difficult. 

. 

A Moment Of A Thought      -     21 Aug 20 

A thought lingering 

In my mind 

Do I know me 

As well as I think 

Taking a moment 

To ponder the reality 

Of the moment 

. 

Do I know? 

. 

Love Feelings

.

Those Lovely sensations. 

. 

Love Feelings     -     20 Aug 20 

The warmest sensations 

Slide through my thoughts 

Feelings of Love 

Caress me 

Take me to you 

Happily lost in you 

. 

The best place to be lost. 

. 

Tedium

.

Do you find yourself looking at something but not actually seeing it? 

. 

Tedium      -     19 Aug 20 

Looking at the page 

Staring at meaningless words 

Stains of ink 

On the paper 

Blurred lines 

Written by someone 

Or me 

In the grip of tedium 

It did not help 

And the words blur 

Even more 

. 

Did it help? 

. 

Fortunes

.

Gold and raindrop gems await. 

. 

Fortunes     -     18 Aug 20 

Scattered 

Along the path 

Some 

Still clinging 

To branches 

Summer fortunes 

Turned 

Autumn gold 

. 

Somewhere. 

. 

Giving

.

A token. 

. 

Giving     -    17 Aug 20 

The little box holds a secret 

A present 

A trinket to mark 

The giving 

Of a Heart to another 

Taken with Love 

. 

The box does not have to be real but just a symbol of the gift. 

. 

After Summer

.

Walking through the sycamore leaves. 

. 

After Summer      -     16 Aug 20 

From the early sycamore 

A new carpet of shed leaves 

On the other trees leaves wait 

Till after summer has gone 

Before adding to the carpet 

Cool sun nearly reaches 

Ground between raindrops 

Autumn leaves a calling card 

In the cloud 

. 

Wet sycamore leaves stick to the path. 

. 

Taking

.

Sampling the delights. 

. 

Taking      -     15 Aug 20 

Touching the day 

Feeling what is on offer 

Taking the succulent 

Morsels to satisfy 

Desires and more 

. 

I am feeling hungry again. 

. 

You Changed Me

.

This is what happens when someone special comes into your life. 

. 

You Changed Me     -     14 Aug 20 

My life was ordinary 

Quiet 

Without surprise 

Then you came 

Into my life 

Brought something 

Different 

Wonderful 

You fill my days 

With sunshine 

You fill my nights 

With the glory 

Of starlight 

You changed me

Thank you for the 

Beauty 

You bring me 

. 

Every day is like this for me. 

. 

Thoughts Of You

.

I see the one special person. 

. 

Thoughts Of You     -     13 Aug 20 

All day long 

Through the night as well 

The thoughts of you 

Are always with me 

I see you 

I see your enchanting smile 

Drifting into a sweeter smile 

To cast an even stronger spell 

I am yours 

You have claimed me 

Through the 

Thoughts of you 

. 

She is an enchantress. 

. 

Secrets In The Clouds

.

Mysteries in the sky. 

. 

Secrets In The Clouds    -    12 Aug 20 

Watching the sky 

Clouds cover the blue 

Still hide the secrets 

Keeping them secret 

Hidden from prying eyes 

In the clouds 

. 

Some see animals, I see secrets. 

. 

Low-Flying Cloud

.

Observations, thoughts really, in the cloud. 

. 

Low-Flying Cloud     -     11 Aug 20 

Not just the hilltops 

Snagging clouds 

The valleys too 

With trees festooned 

In low-flying cloud 

My mind wrapped 

In the insubstantial 

Veil 

I cannot see 

Beyond where I am 

. 

Too much of this recently. 

. 

Impressions

.

Is what you are looking at, what you are actually seeing? 

. 

Impressions     -     10 Aug 20 

In a day when images 

Are not so clear 

I have to rely 

On remembered thoughts 

And impressions 

Of reality 

To pull together 

A picture of what was 

What is 

What might be 

. 

Images of... 

. 

Beautiful Dreams

.

Dreams all day long. 

. 

Beautiful Dreams     -     09 Aug 20 

Through the whole day 

I watch you 

At night in my bed 

I dream you 

All my thoughts 

Weave beautiful dreams 

To fill my world 

With you 

. 

Lovely days and nights. 

. 

When Evening Falls

.

Expectation can be powerful. 

. 

When Evening Falls     -     08 Aug 20 

Afternoon builds expectation 

Wave upon wave 

Thoughts flow and fill the mind 

Desires become a torrent 

Then when evening falls... 

. 

Is it hot in here? 

. 

Whisper Of Time

.

Trees can be heard talking if you listen. 

. 

Whisper Of Time     -     07 Aug 20 

Trees hint at the walking day 

They whisper of time passing 

Unseen and unheard 

By ordinary ears 

The tales are there for the taking 

Reach out and listen 

. 

Some of the stories are really wonderful. 

. 

The Evening Feelings

.

Warm dark evenings. 

. 

The Evening Feelings      -     06 Aug 20 

Afternoon has passed 

Gone into memory 

Now dusk brings 

The evening into mind 

Thoughts and feelings 

Of warm fires and Love 

With a special person 

Holding, holding... 

. 

Always holding. 

. 

The Moment

.

A poem about a song. 

. 

The Moment     -     05 Aug 20 

In Fortuna's fate-filled song 

She tells a tale of the moment 

When the world moved 

To a new place and the orbit 

Was never the same 

We have been changed 

. 

Fortuna has many songs. 

. 

Fragment

.

Observations on a day and the weather. 

. 

Fragment    -    04 Aug 20 

On a pool of water 

After the rain 

Drops disturb the tranquility 

A fragment of paper floats 

Ink gradually flowing away 

Just a couple of words 

Still remain 

love you 

The rain takes the Love message 

To keep it 

For itself 

. 

The back story would be fascinating. 

. 

Moving To Midnight

When I am awake, alone.

. 

Moving To Midnight     -   03 Aug 20 

Seeds of sleep have been sown 

In minds other than mine 

Taken root and growing well 

But for me nothing 

The day has ended 

Darkness shrouds everything 

In the world 

Moving to midnight 

No stars lead the way 

Just dark 

. 

This is not a thing which affects me. 

. 

Fading Memories

.

How things change. 

. 

Fading Memories     -     02 Aug 20 

In a distant past 

I thought I knew 

The people who were 

In my life 

I thought I knew 

My friends 

Then I found that 

They were just 

Memories fading 

Into the dusk of 

Forgotten days 

Unreal phantoms 

Of forgotten days 

. 

People I knew are fading. 

. 

Carrying Time

.

Something which will never be lost. 

. 

Carrying Time     -    01 Aug 20 

In a threadbare pocket 

A treasure beyond price 

I hold it 

With me forever 

I am carrying 

The time I have 

With you

It will never be lost 

Because it is also 

In my Heart 

. 

YOU know who I am talking about. 

. 

Clandestine Kiss

.

The interesting precursor to... 

. 

Clandestine Kiss      -     31 Jul 20 

Lips meet in shadow 

Nobody sees 

Secret message 

Carried by 

A clandestine kiss 

Promise of passion 

Coming later 

. 

I shall keep the secret. 

. 

Sweet Smile

.

The special person knows how to use her magic. 

. 

Sweet Smile     -     30 Jul 20 

Entranced by her 

Sweet smile 

She showed it to me 

When I was unprepared 

For her magic 

I was lost in her spell 

Sparkle in her eyes 

Repeated the smile

And I was hers 

. 

So easy to be lost. 

. 

Different Places

.

Seeing and feeling. 

. 

Different Places     -     29 Jul 20 

Exploring a new world 

Breathing the air 

Touching water in the stream 

Feeling the warmth 

Of a sun in all 

The different places where 

Touch is possible 

. 

Exploring is good. 

. 

Hours

.

A slight play on words but this is how I feel. 

. 

Hours     -     28 Jul 20 

I am with you 

Ours hours 

Time interwoven 

Strands of us 

Each of us 

A piece of the eternal 

Everlasting day 

In which we live 

And Love 

. 

The special person is with me constantly.
