Before The Storm

.

Watching it build. 

. 

Before The Storm     -    25 Jun 20 

Darkness grows from the horizon 

Carried by a strengthening wind 

Gathering clouds in the morning sky 

Omens before the storm 

Coming on relentless 

Wrapped in a bitter wind 

Thunder silent for now 

. 

I have seen a few storms like this. 

. 

Touch

.

Wanting to shift from dream to reality. 

. 

Touch     -     24 Jun 20 

I reach out for you 

Just beyond 

No contact because 

This is only a dream 

My fingers cannot touch 

Cannot claim you 

Sad dream 

I want to wake 

Be with you again 

. 

This has the same feeling as a nightmare. 

. 

The Sea Of Stars

.

Gathering the fragments of me. 

. 

The Sea Of Stars      -     23 Jun 20

You touched me 

I remember that time 

The Loving touches 

You pieced me together 

But in the rebuilding 

Who have I become 

Until the world 

Became whole again 

Brought me with it 

Look at the spaces between 

In the sea of stars 

Where I hide 

. 

Hiding from, me? 

. 

Yearning For You

.

Special thoughts about the one special person. 

. 

Yearning For You    -   22 Jun 20 

In all the times we have met 

Those places which are nameless 

Talk to me 

To invite you to return 

Knowing that I am 

Yearning for you 

I crave your touch 

I want you 

. 

Always. 

. 

Feeling

.

Information transfer by touch. 

. 

Feeling     -    21 Jun 20 

All the information 

From one simple touch 

Feeling me 

In an instant 

Of connection 

A finger was all 

That was needed 

Touch complete 

. 

I Love that touch. 

. 

Nightfall

.

Thoughts on Summer Solstice. 

. 

Nightfall     -     20 Jun 20 

Slow drift into the shortest night 

Dreaming in your arms 

Watching the sun 

Kiss the horizon and pull 

A blanket of shadows 

Across the land 

The warmth of nightfall 

Cradles us 

In the soft light 

. 

A beautiful night. 

. 

Light Of Dawning

.

Gradually, awareness dawns. 

. 

Light Of Dawning     -     19 Jun 20 

Awareness 

Gradually opens 

Into consciousness 

Light of a special day 

Dawning in the mind 

Somewhen new 

Awakes 

. 

Look into the light. 

. 

Linked

.

Trying to see everything around. 

. 

Linked     -    18 Jun 20 

Events in the stream 

Life flows on 

Between 

The linked moments 

Untrained eyes 

See more in the flow 

Even though the stream 

Tries to hide 

Events again 

From understanding 

. 

Seeing without looking. 

. 

Pleasing

.

How effective one little thing can be. 

. 

Pleasing     -     17 Jun 20 

A gentle touch 

To lift a smile 

To reach the lips 

Pleasing all the senses 

In one little moment 

Of joy 

. 

Hand that moment on to someone else. 

. 

Rain

.

Some days... 

. 

Rain     -     16 Jun 20 

Cloud leaking 

Grey upon grey 

Across the ground 

Grey water 

I feel grey 

As the clouds 

Wrap me 

In their grey blanket 

Of rain 

I taste the grey 

. 

Not the first time and it probably will not be the last when I experience the grey. 

. 

Little Light

.

That *special* light. 

. 

Little Light    -    15 Jun 20 

A candle in the evening 

Shining for you 

Carrying my Love 

The little light 

In my Heart 

To show the way back 

To me 

. 

A small beacon. 

. 

Open Door

.

Which direction am I going? 

. 

Open Door     -     14 Jun 20 

A wall before me 

Uncertain 

How to get through 

Then an open door 

Appears 

Am I entering 

Or leaving 

. 

I do not know. 

. 

Mental Stealth

.

These rooms are everywhere. 

. 

Mental Stealth     -    13 Jun 20 

In the secret 

Quiet rooms 

Where the mental doors 

Hold the world 

Away locked in chains 

Allowed out in stealth 

Under control 

Of the dark thoughts 

Hoping it will 

Never escape 

. 

Dare you unlock the rooms? 

. 

Stone Paths

.

Memories of warmer days. 

. 

Stone Paths     -     12 Jun 20 

From the cliff 

Leading down 

To the sea 

I wander along 

Through mounds 

Of heather and gorse 

On stone paths 

Breathing salt 

And seaweed 

As I am called onward 

. 

Good memories. 

. 

Yesterday

.

Loneliness and how it ends. 

. 

Yesterday     -     11 Jun 20 

I was alone 

Trapped in my head 

Nobody talked 

In the silence 

Yesterday 

I was alone 

Today 

You are with me 

I escape from the 

Confines 

Of my head 

. 

Freedom because of assistance. 

. 

Wind Song

.

Another Haiku for you to read today. 

. 

Wind Song [Haiku]     -    10 Jun 20

Through the corridors 

of my dusty mind I walk 

Listen to wind song 

. 

Interesting how much can be said in seventeen syllables. 

. 

Temptation

.

It is so easy for her to tempt me. 

. 

Temptation     -     09 Jun 20 

Standing next to me 

Offering a little piece 

Of her to me 

Closer she comes 

In her hands 

The ultimate gift 

A portion of her Love 

Temptation entices 

I cannot resist 

The offer is too great 

And I become 

Hers forever 

. 

Such is the strength of the one special person. 

. 

Touched

.

Those Lovely feelings. 

. 

Touched     -     08 Jun 20 

You touched me 

I remember that time 

The Love with which you filled me 

Filling me mind 

Filling my body 

With you 

. 

The memory and the touch will always stay with me. 

. 

Ever Dream

.

Another way of seeing. 

. 

Ever Dream    -    07 Jun 20 

Held between worlds 

Only seeing 

The ever dream 

Rotating 

Drawing images 

In the night 

Between darkness 

And darkness 

Never shedding light 

On any world 

Except in the 

Ever dream 

. 

A dark place. 

. 

Evening Dreams

.

Always there, just look for them. 

. 

Evening Dreams    -    06 Jun 20 

The afternoon slipped 

Softly 

Into the warm dark 

Of evening 

The sweet dreams 

Of memories 

Long held 

Drift sweetly back 

Into mind 

. 

Share them with your waking mind. 

. 

Tears

.

Memories of marble. 

. 

Tears     -    05 Jun 20 

Tears of stone 

Fall from the statue's 

Eyes 

Marble cannot see 

Perpetually open 

Images from before 

The sculptor's chisel 

First bit 

Haunt 

. 

The statue waits. 

. 

Lingering

.

I will always taste her. 

. 

Lingering     -     04 Jun 20 

The kisses you gave me 

Are always in my mind 

Lingering on my lips 

They will remain 

With me 

Forever 

My lips will never forget 

How you taste 

. 

Never forgotten. 

. 

Thinking

.

Look around, the evidence is everywhere. 

. 

Thinking    -    03 Jun 20 

How the world has changed 

Shifted in ways 

Unexpected 

How the ways of thinking 

Have altered 

Taking new paths 

Into the unknown future 

. 

Will you go too? 

. 

Goblet

.

Parallel inspiration from the word goblet, a small poem I put on Instagram happened at about the same time this was birthed. 

. 

Goblet     -     02 Jun 20 

Temptation 

Risking chance 

A cast of the die 

From the goblet 

Shapes 

The world of 

The morrow 

. 

Chance can be good usually. 

. 

Time Together

.

Wherever we are. 

. 

Time Together     -     01 Jun 20 

Travelling 

Never forgotten 

Where we are 

Our 

Time together 

Always brings us back 

Never apart 

. 

Always together. 

. 

Holding You

.

In my arms. 

. 

Holding You     -     31 May 20 

In a gentle touch 

I am dreaming you 

Holding you 

Never letting go 

With you always 

With me always 

Together 

. 

Always for the one special person. 

. 

Fingertips

.

Just a few naughty thoughts. 

. 

Fingertips     -    30 May 20 

Gently lifting the body 

Bringing life and pleasure 

To the places 

That were waiting 

For the kiss 

Of the fingertips 

Expectant 

Waiting for more 

. 

Naughty thoughts make life more interesting. 

. 

You

.

A poem in one word. 

Just one syllable but it says everything.

. 

You    -    29 May 20 

YOU 

. 

Nothing more needs to be said about the one special person. 

. 

Six Words

.

I know someone who can do this to me. 

. 

Six Words    -    28 May 20 

She knew how to enchant 

Using just six words 

She could take my Heart 

To make it hers 

Make me fall in Love 

With her 

Forever 

I was hers 

Without question 

. 

She is a very powerful woman. 

. 

New Sight

.

A way of looking. 

. 

New Sight    -    27 May 20 

Darkness 

Eyes open 

Light awakes 

Old images fade 

Into a blur 

Of all the yesterdays 

Allowing the new sight 

To grow into 

Awareness 

. 

Keep looking for the new. 

.
