Wishing

.

Looking for an answer. 

.

Wishing       -      25 Mar 21 

The dandelion clock

Can give an answer 

To a secret question

When will I be with

My beloved 

Wishing it will be soon

Do I have to wait

For long or 

Will it be tomorrow

.

Waiting, patiently. 

. 

World Of Night

.

This is what I see sometimes.

.

World Of Night      -       24 Mar 21

Blackness

Impenetrable

Across

World

Of

Night

Shadows

Are

Everything

.

Light is wanted.

. 

After The Storm

Remembering one day a long time ago.

.

After The Storm      -     23 Mar 21

Thunder still danced

Across the sky

Echoed from horizon

To moor top

As the clouds began to

Recede

After the storm

Lasting all night

Finally accepted a draw

.

When we have a plasma storm here, it is usually spectacular.

. 

Which Dreams

.

They all want to talk to me and tell me things.

.

Which Dreams       -     22 Mar 21

The dreams

Gathering around me

Have told me

Of the secrets

Which dreams carry

The deepest secrets

They want me to

Discover for myself

.

I shall have to go exploring.

. 

Through My Eyes

.

A slightly surreal offering today.

.

Through My Eyes      -      21 Mar 21

Darkness shines

In unexpected places

Bringing dreams to life

While dragging them

Across the sands of

Unknown deserts

Through my eyes

The sun turns to blood

And stains the sand

To match the sky

An indrawn breath

Shapes the dark

.

A place I have seen in my dreams.

. 

Those Things

.

Watching reality ripple.

.

Those Things      -     20 Mar 21

Watching little changes

Making big ripples

In the lake of reality

Submerged in the depths

Shimmering in refracted light

Those things take on new forms

Move by themselves

Across the sands

.

Another shift in reality.

. 

When Stars

.

Day runs differently for me.

.

When Stars     -    19 Mar 21

As the sky welcomes night

Into open arms

When stars begin to shine

Day is complete

And I wake

.

No I am not a vampire.

. 

Guardian

.

Often the disguise is total.

.

Guardian      -     18 Mar 21

A pillar of stone

Stands mute

Before the entrance

To the cave

An underworld

Awaits

Guardian of the hidden

Always ready

To protect or guide

.

All that needs to be done is ask.

. 

Tree

.

A sad tale.

.

Tree     -     17 Mar 21

Flags flying

Across the fields

Battle foments too much

Sadness

A solitary tree

Bows its head in sorrow

It has seen too much loss

In the time standing here

Wants to see

No more

.

Nobody wants to see more sorrow.

. 

Delight

.

Afternoon delight was a song from quite a while ago, it fits well with the feelings behind this poem.

.

Delight      -     16 Mar 21

In an afternoon

Dreaming

The delight of knowing

That I am not dreaming

Alone

Dreaming together

Not just in an afternoon

.

Happy thoughts.

. 

Sailing On A Dream

.

Taken back to a distant time.

.

Sailing On A Dream      -     15 Mar 21

Tasting the salt air

Listening to the gulls

Shrill calls and watching

The ocean gentle swell

The dream takes me

Sailing to you

I sleep on

.

A dream I am happy to return to often.

. 

Dawn Light

.

A mix of light and mist.

.

Dawn Light      -      14 Mar 21

Darkness slides under trees

Hiding from the coming day

The first feint trails

Begin to tint the sky

From the East

As dawn light

Shimmers

Across the lake

Driving the mist before it

.

A touch of magic as the day begins.

. 

Eyes On The Mountain

.

Ever get the feeling that you are being watched?

.

Eyes On The Mountain      -     13 Mar 21

Looking into the grey distance

The great shape seems to be 

Watching me

It feels that there are

Eyes on the mountain

Always watching

.

Not paranoid, I am being watched.

. 

Waiting

Sooner or later the change will happen.

.

Waiting      -     12 Mar 21

Hoping for something

A shift in reality

To make a difference

Waiting is all

Just for the change

Still I lie here

Waiting

.

Eventually...

. 

Whispers

.

Those Lovely warm summer days.

.

Whispers      -    11 Mar 21

The little voices tell sweet tales

In whispers spoken

Stories of gentle Love

In the warmth of afternoon

When only the song of bees

Wandering through clover

Is louder

.

A Lovely experience.

. 

The Maybe World

.

A puzzle which taxes my mind.

.

The Maybe World      - 10 Mar 21

Often things are not

What they really seem

The world shows a face

Which is unreal

It might be

Only maybe

What is real and

Where we are

Is the fiction

How do we tell

Which is real

And which is

The maybe world

.

Does anybody really know.

. 

Connecting

.

Sometimes I feel that I have lost my way a bit.

.

Connecting      -     09 Mar 21

Through moments

Of darkness

I am connecting

With your light

Showing me the way

To your Heart

.

I find it again quickly.

. 

Once In My Heart

.

A little poem for someone who is always in my Heart.

.

Once In My Heart       -      08 Mar 21

Over all the years

The Love I feel

For you

Has grown beyond

Initial levels into

Something special

Once in my Heart

You are there forever

.

The special person is so very special.

. 

Watching

.

A question I ask when looking into the eyes of something.

.

Watching      -     07 Mar 21

Seeing the eyes

Lit by an internal light

In all times

Watching me

What do they see

That I cannot

.

Looking at me again.

. 

Time Dances

.

Metronome or a walking pace.

.

Time Dances     -     06 Mar 21

Tap, tap, tap,

A clock

Or shoes on a stone floor

Both

When time dances

To mark where you have been

And where you might go

In your dance

Across time

.

Use each step with clear thought.

. 

Dark Wood

.

Some places should never be visited. 

. 

Dark Wood       -     05 Mar 21 

Myths told tales 

Of forbidden places

Forgotten for many years 

Whispered stories 

Spoken in curtained rooms 

Still outlined the saga

Of the Dark Wood and 

Why it should never be entered 

There were always fools 

Who would never listen 

So would be unable to learn 

The Dark Wood has 

Claimed them 

. 

Never dismiss the stories. 

. 

Comes The Night

.

The things that wait are not just in darkness. 

. 

Comes The Night       -     04 Mar 21 

In the moment 

When least expected 

Light turns to dark 

The call goes out 

Beware now 

Comes the night 

Guard yourselves 

In the darkness 

Things await 

. 

Sometimes in full light things are waiting. 

. 

After Dawn

.

Too often recently it has been this way. 

. 

After Dawn       -      03 Mar 21 

Waiting for the Sun 

To show his face 

Long night 

Starless 

Looking for our star 

Still waiting after dawn 

The clouds are brighter 

Still waiting 

For the Sun 

. 

Sometimes even the clouds do not get much brighter. 

. 

Summer Now

.

A request, perhaps a demand. 

. 

Summer Now      -      02 Mar 21

A mental demand 

Tired of being cold 

Want the warmth 

Of summer now 

. 

Want to be able to open the window to get some fresh air into my room. 

. 

She Rises

.

A reimagining of the Venus story. 

. 

She Rises      -      01 Mar 21 

In the foam of an active sea 

A speck of beauty 

Shines 

The waves part willingly 

As the figure emerges 

She rises 

To claim the air 

As well as the water 

Soon earth and fire 

Will be hers as well 

. 

Beauty overcomes all. 

. 

Taking Your Hand

.

It is impossible to resist an invitation to journey. 

. 

Taking Your Hand       -      28 Feb 21 

The invitation 

Was irresistible when 

The offer was made 

I can lead you 

Take you to places 

You only dreamed about 

Taking your hand 

I followed 

We travelled 

. 

New worlds to visit. 

. 

When Darkness Falls

.

I always listen for the song. 

. 

When Darkness Falls       -       27 Feb 21 

The day goes 

I wait for changes 

When darkness falls 

The world wakes 

Song of the evening 

Takes over from 

The scream of the day 

Peace fills the world 

Again 

. 

A soothing song. 

. 

Wings

.

I know her. 

. 

Wings       -      26 Feb 21 

She soared 

Lighter than a feather 

From the wings 

Of an angel 

She spoke 

With a voice of beauty 

She touched 

Deep within me and 

I was hers 

Forever 

. 

She is everyone. 

. 

Kisses Filled

.

Just this about the one special person. 

. 

Kisses Filled       -      25 Feb 21 

Days loaded with promise 

She gave me 

Kisses filled with Love 

. 

Nothing more needs to be said. 

. 

Opening

.

There are many of these everywhere. 

. 

Opening       -      24 Feb 21 

Places where reality 

Is very thin 

An opening allows 

Something different 

To slip through 

And fill the spaces 

With itself 

. 

These openings work in both directions. 

.
