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. 

. 

Wait Dream

.

Sometimes waiting can be good. 

. 

Wait Dream     -     27 Jul 20 

Cloud deforms the image 

Of a distant scaffold 

Reshapes it to a dream 

To force the observer 

To wait for life to restart 

When the cloud image 

Reforms in the morning 

. 

Though the resultant image may not be the one expected. 

.
