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. 

Tuesday 29 December 2020

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. 

Sunday 27 December 2020

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. 

Saturday 26 December 2020

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. 

Friday 25 December 2020

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. 

Thursday 24 December 2020

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. 

Wednesday 23 December 2020

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. 

Tuesday 22 December 2020

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. 

Sunday 20 December 2020

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. 

Saturday 19 December 2020

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. 

Friday 18 December 2020

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. 

Thursday 17 December 2020

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. 

Wednesday 16 December 2020

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. 

Monday 14 December 2020

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. 

Sunday 13 December 2020

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. 

Saturday 12 December 2020

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. 

Friday 11 December 2020

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. 

Thursday 10 December 2020

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. 

Tuesday 8 December 2020

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. 

Monday 7 December 2020

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. 

Sunday 6 December 2020

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. 

Saturday 5 December 2020

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. 

Friday 4 December 2020

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. 

Thursday 3 December 2020

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. 

Tuesday 1 December 2020

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. 

Monday 30 November 2020

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. 

Sunday 29 November 2020

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. 

Saturday 28 November 2020

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. 

Friday 27 November 2020

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. 

Tuesday 24 November 2020

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. 

Monday 23 November 2020

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. 

Sunday 22 November 2020

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. 

Saturday 21 November 2020

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. 

Friday 20 November 2020

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. 

Thursday 19 November 2020

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. 

Wednesday 18 November 2020

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. 

Monday 16 November 2020

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. 

Sunday 15 November 2020

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. 

Saturday 14 November 2020

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.

Friday 13 November 2020

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.

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. 

Tuesday 10 November 2020

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. 

Monday 9 November 2020

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. 

Sunday 8 November 2020

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. 

Saturday 7 November 2020

Morning Kiss

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. 

Friday 6 November 2020

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. 

Thursday 5 November 2020

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. 

Wednesday 4 November 2020

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. 

Tuesday 3 November 2020

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. 

Monday 2 November 2020

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. 

Sunday 1 November 2020

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. 

Saturday 31 October 2020

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. 

Friday 30 October 2020

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. 

Thursday 29 October 2020

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. 

Wednesday 28 October 2020

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. 

Tuesday 27 October 2020

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. 

Monday 26 October 2020

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. 

Sunday 25 October 2020

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. 

Saturday 24 October 2020

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. 


Friday 23 October 2020

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. 

Thursday 22 October 2020

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. 

Tuesday 20 October 2020

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. 

Monday 19 October 2020

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. 

Saturday 17 October 2020

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. 

Friday 16 October 2020

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. 

Monday 12 October 2020

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. 

Sunday 11 October 2020

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. 

Saturday 10 October 2020

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. 

Friday 9 October 2020

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. 

Thursday 8 October 2020

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. 

Tuesday 6 October 2020

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. 

Monday 5 October 2020

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. 


Sunday 4 October 2020

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. 

Friday 2 October 2020

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. 


Thursday 1 October 2020

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. 


Wednesday 30 September 2020

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. 

Tuesday 29 September 2020

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. 

Sunday 27 September 2020

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. 

Saturday 26 September 2020

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. 

Friday 25 September 2020

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. 

Thursday 24 September 2020

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. 

Tuesday 22 September 2020

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. 

Monday 21 September 2020

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. 

Sunday 20 September 2020

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. 


Saturday 19 September 2020

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? 


Friday 18 September 2020

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. 


Thursday 17 September 2020

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. 


Wednesday 16 September 2020

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. 


Monday 14 September 2020

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. 


Sunday 13 September 2020

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. 


Saturday 12 September 2020

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. 


Friday 11 September 2020

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. 


Thursday 10 September 2020

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. 

Tuesday 8 September 2020

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. 


Monday 7 September 2020

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. 


Sunday 6 September 2020

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. 


Saturday 5 September 2020

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. 


Friday 4 September 2020

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. 


Wednesday 2 September 2020

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. 


Tuesday 1 September 2020

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. 


Monday 31 August 2020

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. 


Sunday 30 August 2020

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. 




Saturday 29 August 2020

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. 


Friday 28 August 2020

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. 


Thursday 27 August 2020

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? 


Tuesday 25 August 2020

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. 


Monday 24 August 2020

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? 



Sunday 23 August 2020

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. 


Saturday 22 August 2020

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. 


Friday 21 August 2020

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. 


Thursday 20 August 2020

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. 


Tuesday 18 August 2020

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. 


Monday 17 August 2020

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. 


Sunday 16 August 2020

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. 


Saturday 15 August 2020

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... 


Friday 14 August 2020

Beautiful Dreams

Dreams all day long. 




Beautiful Dreams     -     09 Aug 20

To fill my world 
With you 




Lovely days and nights. 


Thursday 13 August 2020

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. 


Tuesday 11 August 2020

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. 


Monday 10 August 2020

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. 


Sunday 9 August 2020

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. 

Saturday 8 August 2020

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. 


Friday 7 August 2020

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. 


Thursday 6 August 2020

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. 


Wednesday 5 August 2020

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. 


Tuesday 4 August 2020

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. 


Monday 3 August 2020

Different Places

.
Seeing and feeling. 




Different Places     -     29 Jul 20 

Exploring a new world 
Breathing the air 
Touching water in the stream

Of a sun in all 
The different places where 
Touch is possible 




Exploring is good. 


Sunday 2 August 2020

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.
