Dreams Outside

.

Sometimes waking and not knowing where you are. 

. 

Dreams Outside       -      23 Feb 21 

They happen everywhere 

Sometimes in unexpected places 

The mind goes 

Where it desires 

Often outside the body 

Where it dreams 

In ways that nothing 

Can understand 

. 

One possible explanation. 

. 

Nothing

.

What can be seen. 

. 

Nothing      -     22 Feb 21

The days drift past 

One upon another 

Reflecting vacant thoughts 

Watching the world 

Seeing nothing 

Empty times showing 

Even more 

Nothing 

. 

A sad tale, perhaps it is just nothing. 

. 

Unexpected

.

So glad that only I can see what I can see. 

. 

Unexpected      -     21 Feb 21 

A moment of sweet 

Contemplation 

Gentle thoughts drifting 

Through my mind 

Taking me into places 

I did not expect 

Unexpected explorations 

Though very pleasant 

Could cause embarrassment 

Elsewhere 

. 

Have to be very careful where these thoughts lead. 

. 

Hob Watching

.

Not a catering poem. 

. 

Hob Watching       -     20 Feb 21 

On the Devil's Lane 

A subtle movement 

Betrays the presence 

Of the watcher 

His shadowy from 

Tells of his origins 

In the shadows of day 

The myth creators 

From the chapels 

Decorate his head 

With horns 

But those who know him 

Speak a different name 

He is not Hob 

Watching the world 

. 

I suspect some readers will not like this poem. 

. 

In The Otherwhen

.

There are many whens, all of which can be explored. 

. 

In The Otherwhen      -     19 Feb 21 

Touching the open door 

Ready to go through 

From the now 

When calls 

To understand where 

In the otherwhen 

We can travel 

Time to find out 

. 

When is calling. 

. 

Days Beyond

.

Another venture into a surreal world. 

. 

Days Beyond       -      18 Feb 21 

Calendar wall 

Blocks of weeks 

Prevent seeing the 

Days beyond 

Bricks with cryptic marks 

Purport to be words 

Lie about what they 

Actually say 

Months in a heap 

Randomly tell the time 

. 

Do you know what reality really is? 

. 

Questing

.

The answers often take a long time to appear. 

. 

Questing      -     17 Feb 21

Through long days 

Across the plains 

Of the wilderness 

I have been questing 

Searching for many answers 

Any answers 

Hoping to find them 

The questions have 

Grown tired of being asked 

Until I see the answers 

I shall have to keep 

Questing 

. 

Sometimes the answers take very long to appear. 

. 

Evening Dreams

.

Sometimes more can be seen in the darkness. 

. Evening Dreams      -     16 Feb 21 

Sun has slipped 

Below the horizon again 

Letting darkness 

Fill the land 

Dreams of the evening 

Awaken and fill my thoughts 

With their wistful beauty 

. 

Sometimes the evening is the most beautiful time of day. 

. 

Watch Dreams Rise

.

The waves know. 

. 

Watch Dreams Rise       -       14 Feb 21 

A tide carries thoughts 

Replenishes the special feelings 

Riding the crest 

Higher with each wave 

Pay attention and 

Watch dreams rise 

To meet your expectations 

Ride with them 

. 

Ride the waves in the Multiverse. 

. 

Wind Singer

.

Have you heard the singer? 

. 

Wind Singer       -      13 Feb 21 

Songs sung by the 

Vagrant restless whisperer 

Words never told 

In the night by anybody 

The wind singer knows 

All the words and songs 

Speaks to you in your dream 

Bids you to sing too 

. 

Do you sometimes wake with an unexpected song in your mind? 

. 

Words In The Void

.

Tending to surreal, perhaps even reaching that state. 

. 

Words In The Void      -     12 Feb 21 

Words push to the front 

Of my thoughts 

Abraid the edges 

Scour all faces 

In moments of unawareness 

The shape of reality 

Changes to something different 

Recognition fails 

The days blend 

In ways which were never anticipated 

Worlds argue amongst themselves 

Never reaching a conclusion 

Void opens ready to swallow 

The words unspoken but waiting 

To add their voice 

In the debate 

. 

The first word of each stanza gives the title. 

. 

Darkness

Is it really dark?

. 

Darkness       -      11 Feb 21 

Comforting 

Secure 

Nothing can see me 

In the darkness 

Of my mind 

. 

It is never dark in my mind. 

. 

Waking

.

Being summoned into the world. 

. 

Waking      -     10 Feb 21 

Sliding into day 

Slowly feeling awareness

Creeping into the world 

Drifting with sunlight 

Into my waking space 

Inciting me to move 

. 

If only it was this easy. 

. 

Kisses [Haiku]

.

We all know where this may lead. 

. 

Kisses [Haiku]       -      09 Feb 21

Hearts, Souls, connected 

Deeper communication 

Kisses go deeper 

. 

I like the way kisses talk. 

. 

The Day After

.

How my life changed. 

. 

The Day After      -     08 Feb 21 

Transient thoughts 

Wash wave-like across my mind 

Bearing images of forgotten times 

Emptiness 

Once held me 

The day after I banished it 

My life changed 

Was given new meaning 

Love filled me 

I became me 

. 

Let this happen for you. 

. 

Between The Stars

.

This poem was inspired by hearing the rhythm of a theme tune of a television series. 

. 

Between The Stars      -     07 Feb 21 

Between the stars 

I have travelled for so long 

                                            The stars are my friends 

I sing the songs of loneliness 

                                                  The stars repeat them

We form a chorus in eternal night 

                                                         The stars sing sadness

We sing together 

Between the stars 

. 

Sad but beautiful. 

. 

Night In Day

.

Winter confuses me. 

. 

Night In Day      -      07 Feb 21

Thick cloud obscures 

Everything leaves the day 

In tatters 

Shrouded in the pall of 

An extra night 

Night in day 

Deludes the senses 

Confusing 

. 

Dark for too many hours. 

. 

Hearing The Whisper

.

Almost a nightmare. 

. 

Hearing The Whisper      -     06 Feb 21 

In the night 

The secrets are spoken 

Quietly by the shades 

Of darkness 

Hearing the whisper 

In sibilant discor

Last remnants of day 

Cry in the corners 

Because they heard 

The whispers 

. 

The whispers can be heard if you are prepared to listen. 

. 

Ice

.

The sad song of an hopeful Lover. 

. 

Ice       -      05 Feb 21 

I offered you 

My Love 

But all I ever tasted 

Was the ice 

In your Heart 

. 

Something I have not tasted for decades. 

. 

The Sky

.

Too often this way. 

. 

The Sky      -     04 Feb 21 

The shape of day 

Blends into night 

The sky refuses 

To differentiate 

Between them 

All dark 

All 

. 

Expected because it is winter. 

. 

Upward

Try something different.

. 

Upward       -      03 Feb 21 

In a new way 

A vision of unusual things 

Seen 

Sometimes the same things 

From a different perspective 

Perceived 

Differently if looked at 

Perhaps 

Rather than around 

Try upward 

. 

Just a thought. 

. 

Often Night

.

Too often this has happened. 

. 

Often Night      -     02 Feb 21 

More frequently than the 

Day suggests 

Sleep is disturbed 

And often night 

Vanishes into a tumble 

Of fractured repeating thoughts 

Dreams are shunned 

Only to return 

When sleep is restored 

Waiting now 

. 

The good thing is that when sleep is restored it deep. 

. 

Thoughts

.

Faster than the speed of light. 

. 

Thoughts      -     01 Feb 21 

Shared wherever we are 

How far apart we are 

Does not matter 

Minds and Hearts 

Do not know distance 

Thoughts travel at 

The speed of Love 

. 

Lovely. 

. 

Dark Eve

.

An evening of foretelling. 

. 

Dark Eve       -     31 Jan 21 

After an afternoon 

Without surprise 

A sudden feeling 

Of foreboding 

Crept over the world 

Something not right 

The dark eve of the new day 

To come 

. 

Watch for the signs. 

. 

It Never Happened

.

A taste of the Multiverse. 

. 

It Never Happened       -       30 Jan 21 

Denial of what might have been 

Does not mean that 

It never happened 

Because in another world 

Might have happened 

Did happen 

A new world unfolds 

. 

The Multiverse is waiting. 

. 

Taste Of Tomorrow

.

The taste cannot be defined but it is Lovely. 

. 

Taste Of Tomorrow      -     29 Jan 21 

A flavour 

Intriguing 

Hinting of surprises 

Perhaps a touch 

Of spice 

Perhaps 

Something more 

Perhaps

This is the taste of tomorrow 

. 

Really quite intoxicating. 

. 

I Am Here [Haiku]

An Haiku for you today.

. 

I Am Here [Haiku]       -      28 Jan 21

I have pledged myself 

Am giving myself to you 

Here with you always 

. 

Always. 

. 

Taste [Acrostic]

.

Wandering into the realm of playing with words. 

. 

Taste [Acrostic]       - 27 Jan 21

Temporal differences 

Against the real time stream 

Shatter the dream of reality 

Thousand shards 

Empty into the void 

. 

Sometimes the chosen word creates a strange reality. 

.
