Dark Eve

.

Another observation of a day. 

. 

Dark Eve      -     26 Jul 20 

Eve of the morrow 

Dark night approaches 

No star penetrates 

A clouded sky 

Will sunlight show 

Or shall dark grey rule 

Again through a day 

. 

So often grey is the main colour. 

. 

I See You

This happens.

. 

I See You     -     25 Jul 20 

In every reality 

I see you 

Wherever I am

Walking with me 

Touching the sand 

Beside the gentle waves 

Of our ocean 

You are there 

And I see you always 

. 

Wonderful connection. 

. 

Dreams In Daylight

.

A place to see something different. 

. 

Dreams In Daylight     -     24 Jul 20 

Daylight fills the moments 

I have learned to occupy 

Take the space where 

I might have been 

In my dreams of 

. 

This poem is left hanging intensionally. 

. 

Sometime Ever

.

A variation on the children's game. 

. 

Sometime Ever      -     23 Jul 20 

This year 

The thoughts are crumpled 

Next year 

Who knows where the thoughts are 

Sometime 

Smooth thoughts may be seen 

Ever 

Or will they 

. 

I never did play the game but I am seeing the signs around me now. 

. 

Pages

.

Words are there. 

. 

Pages      -     22 Jul 20 

A book 

Holding thoughts 

In the ink-scribed pages 

From a millennia 

Gathered from time 

To leave an idea 

Wherever it falls 

. 

Just read. 

. 

Seeing New

.

Wishing to find something. 

. 

Seeing New      -     21 Jul 20 

Time 

I have watched 

Through the fractured mirror 

Of the universe 

Seeing the other 

The old form 

I have had enough 

My tears ask 

For something new 

To look upon 

. 

This is a question we all ask at some point. 

. 

Movement

.

Observations on the world. 

. 

Movement     -     20 Jul 20 

Leaves flutter 

Green butterflies 

In the gentle breeze 

Oceans rise and fall 

In the dance orchestrated 

By the Moon 

Rhythmic movement 

Conducted by the 

Metronome of time 

. 

Watch it, hear it, you can always feel it. 

. 

Open Dreams

.

Come and play. 

. 

Open Dreams     -     19 Jul 20 

My dreams are always open 

You are welcome to visit 

Whenever you want 

To see me 

To play in our games 

To enjoy the tranquility 

Of our space 

To be 

. 

See you there perhaps. 

. 

Dusk Speaks

.

Something beautiful to listen to in the evening. 

. 

Dusk Speaks     -     18 Jul 20 

In the gathering hush 

Light merging with dark 

In soft colours 

Muted purple 

Carries the afternoon 

Away 

As dusk speaks 

In quiet tones 

To welcome the stars 

. 

Always worth listening. 

. 

Another Reality

.

A somewhat disturbing place. 

. 

Another Reality     -    17 Jul 20 

Looking around 

At various possibilities 

Wondering where 

I could be viewing from 

Awareness dawns 

As I realise 

That I am in 

Another reality 

Looking back 

. 

So much layers. 

. 

Distant Times

.

Trying to see how and why the changes happen. 

. 

Distant Times      -      16 Jul 20 

Far awhen 

The distant times 

Called me back 

To witness the change 

Oft times in my story 

The plot was changed 

To bring new actors 

New stories into the play 

Serves only to confuse 

I move on to try 

To understand 

. 

Understanding will happen. 

. 

Love Touch

.

She did not need words. 

. 

Love Touch     -     15 Jul 20 

Lips pursed and ready 

Kiss prepared and waiting 

To be combined with a 

Gentle Love touch 

To give the kiss more 

Power and warmth 

Fire awaits 

. 

From gentleness comes flame. 

. 

Welcome

.

Not a time I see too often but I am aware of it. 

. 

Welcome     -     14 Jul 20 

Morning shatters the night 

Light grows in intensity 

To welcome the day

Dance on into the world 

Take your song with you 

Scatter the stars in your wake 

. 

New days, no matter when they are experienced, are always welcome. 

. 

Why

.

Will it ever be answered? 

. 

Why      -     13 Jul 20 

Just because 

Another tired excuse 

To make an unwelcome 

Reply to a fair question 

The question 

Is never really answered 

And why still hangs 

Unanswered 

Waiting 

. 

The answer may be given, eventually. 

. 

Teasing

.

Gentle and sweet. 

. 

Teasing     -    12 Jul 20 

Feeling a sweet smile 

On her face 

Dimpled cheeks 

Sparkles in her eyes 

Sweet good-natured 

Teasing leads me on 

Into her game 

. 

The Lovliest games start this way. 

. 

Tasting You

.

The secret flavours. 

. 

Tasting You      - 11 Jul 20 

The secret in my mind 

Known only by 

My tongue 

Shared with nobody 

Found in one place 

When I was 

Tasting you 

The secret remains 

. 

I know your flavour. 

. 

Sweet Smoke

.

Incense creating wonders. 

. 

Sweet Smoke     -     10 Jul 20 

Sage 

Smouldering 

Tying sweet knots 

Of smoke 

In the air 

. 

Breathe and let it cleanse you. 

. 

Darkling

.

The places where unexpected events happen. 

. 

Darkling    -    09 Jul 20 

Unexpected 

The darkling sky 

Held an image 

Of an empty shore 

In the clouds 

It carried 

Imaginary waves 

Took them 

Into the night 

. 

Watch and see. 

. 

Smile

.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most powerful.

.

Smile     -     08 Jul 20 

She changed my life 

With a simple gift 

Of all the things 

She could have used 

The smallest 

Simplest thing 

She looked at me 

And gave me a smile 

. 

I was lost to her. 

. 

After The Moment [Haiku]

.

Experiencing. 

. 

After The Moment [Haiku]     -    07 Jul 20

Sweet eternal time 

Silver moment in my life 

After, simple joy 

. 

Joy of words. 

. 

Wait For Me

.

Memories of a location from many years ago. 

. 

Wait For Me     -    06 Jul 20 

By the little bridge 

Over the quiet stream 

Where we sat and talked 

As the dragonflies danced 

Wait for me again 

I will be there soon 

. 

I still remember the bridge and stream but the person I will meet was never there. 

. 

Songs In The Night

.

She is always there for me. 

. 

Songs In The Night     -    05 Jul 20 

In a quiet moment 

In a period of chaos 

I hear the quiet songs 

Sung by a special angel 

To give me rest 

In the night 

I am grateful 

As I slip into sleep 

. 

At other times she talks with me. 

. 

Just Another Kiss

.

Is it really? 

. 

Just Another Kiss     -     04 Jul 20 

No such thing as 

Just another kiss 

They are all beautifully 

Different and special 

Now I want 

Another kiss from you 

. 

Always wanting kisses. 

. 

Cold Summer

.

Just some thoughts on the season so far. 

. 

Cold Summer     -    03 Jul 20 

No sun to warm 

Sky is gray 

Icy dry 

Summer failed 

In its purpose 

Warm it was not 

Just cold 

Cold summer 

. 

Hoping that the year wakes up a bit. 

. 

Hint Of A Kiss

.

I can feel her. 

. 

Hint Of A Kiss     -    02 Jul 20 

Waiting in a quiet place 

For you to be with me 

Sudden awareness 

Of you and a hint 

Of a kiss 

Brushing my cheek 

I knew you were here 

With me 

. 

. 

My special one. 

. 

She Took My Heart

.

Who got the better deal? 

. 

She Took My Heart     -     01 Jul 20 

So gently 

A whisper of a breath 

Lifting 

A smile on an angel's lips 

She took my Heart 

Left me her smile 

. 

I feel we both have a good deal. 

. 

In My Arms

.

A Lovely place to hold my special person. 

. 

In My Arms     -     30 Jun 20 

In all the Lovely places 

Where I know you 

And where I meet you 

My most favourite 

Are the ones where we 

Are always together 

Arms around each other 

Holding each other 

Forever 

. 

Forever together. 

. 

Dreaming You Closer

.

The special person is always in my mind and dreams. 

. 

Dreaming You Closer     -     29 Jun 20 

Wanting you near me

Constantly craving 

The warmth of your touch 

I crawl back into bed 

So I can be 

Dreaming you closer 

And holding you 

Always in my Heart 

. 

A good reason to be in bed. 

. 

Other Places

.

Being taken to somewhere special. 

. 

Other Places     -     28 Jun 20 

I never knew where 

She would take me 

The fascination 

Of other places 

She offered me 

Always drew me on 

Deeper into her 

Secret space 

. 

Wonderful invitation. 

. 

Winds Of My Dreams

.

The winds are always blowing. 

. 

The Winds Of My Dreams     -    27 Jun 20 

In the silence 

The winds speak my name 

Shadows of my dreams 

Lie in the dust 

On the floor 

I can still hear my name 

Wartling around me 

Carried on the winds 

. 

Hear your own winds blow. 

. 

Day

.

She comes. 

. 

Day     -     26 Jun 20 

Before I wake 

Dawn 

Knocks softly at my window 

Offering warm kisses 

To tempt me 

Into the day 

. 

Softly to wake me. 

.
