Sweet Kisses

.

Anticipation is the fun part of waiting. 

. 

Sweet Kisses      -     26 Jan 21 

In dream I wait 

Ready to see you 

Expectantly hopeful 

As the Sun's journey 

Takes a warm path 

Across the sky 

I can taste your 

Warm kisses 

On my lips 

Even before we meet 

. 

Such a Lovely feeling. 

. 

In Your Hand

.

Sounds like a cliché but... 

. 

In Your Hand       -      25 Jan 21 

You have me 

Kept me 

Taken me places 

I never expected 

All because you have me 

In your hand 

. 

In your Heart too. 

. 

Take Me

.

I want to go. 

. 

Take Me      -      24 Jan 21

Take me in your arms 

Transport me to a place 

Where we can be alone 

Together 

To Love and share 

All that we want 

Let us go 

. 

I am ready. 

. 

Fragrant

.

Her beautiful perfume intoxicates me. 

. 

Fragrant       -       23 Jan 21 

Hint of blossom 

Captivates my senses 

Hint of you 

Takes me to paradise 

The world is more fragrant 

Enticing 

It draws me in 

Keeps me 

. 

Natural scent. 

. 

City Nights

.

When I lived in London I could hear this clearly from seven miles away. 

. 

City Nights      -      22 Jan 21 

Never dark 

Always something happening 

The hum of events 

Can be heard 

Always 

In the city nights 

Join me there 

. 

I did not go to town that often but it was an interesting place. 

. 

Where I Am

.

Perception shifts. 

. 

Where I Am      -      21 Jan 21 

Unusual spaces 

Changing the way I see 

Where I am alters 

As I watch 

Place me somewhere 

In your mind 

. 

Do you understand? 

. 

How

.

This poem was triggered by an actual day. 

. 

Why       -      20 Jan 21 

Heavy cloud 

Obscures the sun 

Weaving darkness 

Hearth fire welcomes 

Our cold bodies 

With warmth 

Holding the day at bay 

Over all the winter chills 

Windows mist up again 

. 

Such is winter. 

. 

Glass Dreams

.

They offer a different way to see the world. 

. 

Glass Dreams      -     19 Jan 21 

Translucent images 

Cast forms in colour 

All around 

They can be shattered 

With a sudden wake 

But the glass dreams 

Are beautiful 

. 

All dreams are like this.

. 

Watching The Stars Dance

.

Sometimes just the stars. 

. 

Watching The Stars Dance      -     18 Jan 21 

After a day 

With cloud covering the sky 

Sunset brings promise 

As the clouds part 

Night arrives quietly 

Eyes look upward 

Watching the stars dance 

. 

Sometimes the Moon joins in. 

. 

Walking In Dream

The dream world is often more real than reality.

. 

Walking In Dream      -     17 Jan 21 

Watching the world 

Slowly pass 

The dream wraps me 

In its tender embrace 

Keeps me walking 

In 

Around 

Within 

Through 

I see the shapes 

In the dreams 

. 

Building with the shapes. 

. 

Night Awake

.

Working through the confusion. 

. 

Night Awake       -      16 Jan 21 

Dreaming 

I do not know 

Am I awake 

Not certain 

Night is confusing 

Levels of awareness 

Woven into each other 

Each tells a different 

Story...or is it fact 

Confusion 

. 

That is night sometimes. 

. 

In An Afternoon

.

Things can change so rapidly and unexpectedly. 

. 

In An Afternoon      -     15 Jan 21 

Sometimes an event 

Catches me unawares 

Changes the focus 

Of the day 

Of my life 

Of everything 

In an afternoon 

A shift 

Brings a new perspective 

A new direction 

Forward steps 

Going 

. 

Ready to explore the new direction. 

. 

Time When

.

A fan dance, teasing. 

. 

Time When      -      14 Jan 21 

Time 

Moves in unexpected directions 

Is never linear 

Dances 

When 

Least anticipated 

Prepare to be 

Wrong footed 

. 

It takes practice to be able to know which way to step. 

. 

Dreaming Of The Day

.

Always dreaming. 

. 

Dreaming Of The Day      -      13 Jan 21 

In a day 

Every day 

Dreaming 

Creating 

Inventing 

A new reality 

To build 

In the day 

Of the infinities 

Of the day 

. 

Always creating. 

. 

Missing

.

That feeling that someone is not there. 

. 

Missing      -     12 Jan 21 

Waiting 

Hoping to see you 

All I can say is 

Tu me manque 

You are missing from me 

. 

The French way of saying this is so much more beautiful. 

. 

Connection

.

The way we feel. 

. 

Connection       -      11 Jan 21 

Apart 

But always together 

Linked 

By our connection 

Through 

All the times 

Across the distances 

We 

Are together 

. 

Totally connected. 

. 

Riding A Dream

.

Part of the eternal search. 

. 

Riding A Dream      -     10 Jan 21 

In darkness across 

A starlit plain I travel 

Riding a dream through 

The night 

Questing for an answer 

Looking to find it 

Anywhere 

. 

It will be found. 

. 

On A Wish

.

There is one very special place... 

.

On A Wish       -      09 Jan 21 

In dreams I travel 

Seeing places I want to visit 

Most important 

Is where you are 

Waiting for me... 

On a wish I journey 

. 

Someone special is waiting for me with warm arms and a warm Heart. 

. 

In Days To Be Seen [Haiku]

.

An Haiku for your consideration. 

. 

In Days To Be Seen [Haiku]       -      08 Jan 21

Mist shrouded visions 

Waiting for the clarity 

In days to be seen 

. 

More to come before long. 

. 

Another Birthday

.

This works because of an event in my life many years ago. 

. 

Another Birthday       -      07 Jan 21 

Counting time by using events 

Some are regular 

Predictable in the extreme 

Some are regular 

But only appear 

In non-annual ways 

Some confuse the ordinary people 

When they appear more frequently 

I have another birthday 

Every year 

Not greedy I promise 

. 

The anniversary is 08 Jan. 

. 

Change

.

Observe as you can. 

. 

Change       -       06 Jan 21 

Often a moment offers 

Something unexpected 

Leading into a different place 

A change of location 

Shelter in the new 

Let the world pass 

Gather the forms of 

Change 

. 

It happens all the time, just be aware. 

. 

After

.

On the ocean, watching. 

. 

After       - 05 Jan 21 

The storm has passed 

Waves subside to the normal 

Slow swell rocking gently 

Looking at the horizon 

More clouds grow 

What can be expected 

After this 

. 

Another storm perhaps or worse. 

. 

Looking Over

.

Scrying is not always easy. 

. 

Looking Over      -     04 Jan 21 

Taking time to read the signs 

Looking over the messages 

Delivered by the birds 

And the clouds 

As the day unfolds 

Sun fades into cloud 

Darkness fills the cup 

Of sight 

. 

Clouds on cloud. 

. 

After The Dream

.

Can you see me? 

. 

After The Dream       -      02 Jan 21 

Never is an after 

The dream continues 

Through every day 

Night is a brief pause 

But even then 

It still continues 

In the dream 

No one can see me 

But you 

. 

I feel you looking. 

. 

Moons Of Remembering

.

Some of the past remains. 

. 

Moons Of Remembering      -     01 Jan 21 

Gone are the quiet days 

When whispers ruled 

Ancient gods still speak 

In thunder voice 

Across the void of time 

And the moons of remembering 

Still remember 

And in the cold days 

The myths live on 

. 

Listen for the gods.

. 

Edge Of Time

.

Watching how things change. 

. 

Edge Of Time      -     31 Dec 20 

Observing 

That which cannot be seen 

Feeling the blade 

Which cannot be touched 

As it passes 

Time has a sharper 

Edge 

Of change 

It happens 

As it wants 

. 

The blade cannot be turned. 

. 

Winter Rain

.

I have not been out in this for a while but I remember how it feels. 

. 

Winter Rain       -      30 Dec 20 

Harsh kiss from a grey sky 

Colder than the wish 

Of a wronged lover 

Winter rain hurts 

Body and Soul 

. 

Not a pleasant experience. 

. 

Midnight

.

Day change. 

. 

Midnight       -       29 Dec 20 

Curtains close 

On one day 

Open simultaneously 

On a new 

The change of 

One second 

Brings a new 

Perspective 

On the world 

Midnight 

Is a different dream 

. 

Dreams are all around. 

. 

The Seer

.

Interpretation is everything. 

. 

The Seer      -      28 Dec 20 

The Seer looks ahead 

And tells what he thinks 

Is coming 

Crystals in the air 

Magical thoughts 

But is it just 

Snow 

That he sees 

Time will tell 

. 

Still waiting for the answer. 

. 

Dreams Of Somewhen

.

What is reality? 

. 

Dreams Of Somewhen      -     27 Dec 20 

Those times when I feel that 

Some things do not ever change 

Other things rush on so fast 

It is impossible to keep up 

In the somewhen 

Of the dreams 

That surround us all 

There is no reality 

None but that which we build 

To take us wherever we go 

Into the place where 

The otherwhen is growing 

. 

Look for YOUR reality. 

. 

Cold Night

.

This is a very disconcerting experience. 

. 

Cold Night       -      26 Dec 20 

Waking 

Shivering 

Despite being covered 

Feeling I am 

Being attacked 

By something 

In the cold night 

. 

Not at all pleasant. 

.
