The Afternoon Whispers

.

A little Love song today. 

.

The Afternoon Whispers      -     25 Apr 21 

Lying together

Feeling the warmth 

Of our Love

Afternoon sunlight

Soft golden glow 

Paints the landscape

Whispers of Love

Completes the mood 

We are together

.

This is how all afternoons should be. 

. 

Gentle Touch

.

Feeling the one special person. 

.

Gentle Touch      -      24 Apr 21 

I feel you

With me 

Always 

More in the night

Your gentle touch 

Tells me of your Love

Lifts me into your Heart 

.

Always with me. 

. 

Darkness Holds

.

I do not really know where this came from. 

.

Darkness Holds     .     22 Apr 21 

I am held by a dark moment

Signs drawn in a dark sky 

By a hidden hand

Darkness holds me 

In its cool grasp

I wait for the light 

.

Sometimes the pen guides my hand. 

. 

I Can Remember

.

A memory of an event which never happened. 

.

I Can Remember        -       23 Apr 21 

I can remember

When we kissed 

On the way home

Night was slightly dark

The music still played 

In our minds while we sat

The Heath seemed to shine

We stayed for a while 

Watching the Moon rise

.

Fragments of many occasions, none of which are connected. 

. 

Walking

.

Happens rather frequently near the tip of Cornwall. 

.

Walking      -     21 Apr 21 

In the wind

Against invisible obstructions 

Legs not going

Where they are requested 

Walking is difficult

A problem with wind 

.

A third leg is useful. 

. 

Midstream

.

Even the river sees. 

.

Midstream       -      20 Apr 21 

A wave in the river

Seems to stay still 

Showing the presence

Of a hidden object 

In the midstream

The river warns 

Of possible dangers

Below 

.

Messages come from everywhere. 

. 

Underway

.

A long journey has begun. 

.

Underway       -       19 Apr 21 

Engines sing their soft song

Telling us that all is well 

Harbour is a long way off

Gone from our sight 

We are underway

To a new land 

Will the stars welcome us

.

A really long journey between the worlds. 

. 

Coming Through

.

The beginning of fear. 

.

Coming Through      -      18 Apr 21 

Something moved in the shadows

Unknown 

Unknowable

All that could be seen 

Was that something was

Coming through 

.

Do not let it catch you watching. 

. 

Thank You

.

A little poem for my Muse and my special friend. 

.

Thank You       -      17 Apr 21 

When you came into my life

You stopped 

And you came into my Heart

Thank you

.

My Muse made some changes to the original structure of this poem and it flows much more smoothly. 

. 

Touching Paradise [Haiku]

Another Haiku today.

Touching Paradise [Haiku]        -       16 Apr 21

When my hands touch you

I know fully where I am 

Touching paradise

.

I do. 

. 

Dreams Of Desire

.

Seeing whenever. 

.

Dreams Of Desire       -     15 Apr 21 

Fragments of thought

Carried from the day 

Into another space

Between wake and 

Somewhere else

Images of the person

Fill the mind 

Dreams of desire

Transcend location 

Or time

.

Five thousand miles is nothing. 

. 

Thinking

.

It is Lovely when two minds think together. 

.

Thinking       -       14 Apr 21 

You

Wandered into my mind 

And stayed

Sharing 

Feelings and thoughts

Thinking together 

Always

.

Blissful sharing. 

. 

Somewhen

.

A secret known to only two people. 

.

Somewhen       -      13 Apr 21 

In a place hidden 

From intrusive watchers

I have placed 

A secret for me

Time hides it 

In the drift of

The eternal somewhen 

Only she and I

Know the when 

.

We will not tell. 

. 

Slipping Into

.

Not entirely certain where this came from but I like it. 

.

Slipping Into       -      12 Apr 21 

Shifting

Places from the ordinary 

Slipping into

Something special

Extraordinary 

Extra real

Places new 

.

The new is all around. 

. 

Between Dreams

Experience flight in a different way.

.

Between Dreams       -      11 Apr 21 

Bubbles in the mind stream

Shimmering iridescence 

Each holding

An image of different spaces 

Floating between dreams

Held by all and none 

Simultaneously

Flying with the bubbles 

.

A completely different view. 

. 

And You

Thinking about the most special birthday present.

.

And You       -     10 Apr 21 

Taken from

An ordinary life 

Into something special

Lifted from plain 

And given sparkle

A change 

And you were

The beautiful cause 

.

Thank you to the one special person. 

. 

One Kiss

.

Amazing energy in the simple act. 

.

One Kiss       -       09 Apr 21 

All it took

To enchant my Heart 

Hold me to you

Make me yours 

Forever

Was one kiss 

.

Happy. 

. 

Open

A way of seeing.

.

Open       -      08 Apr 21 

When days change

From the usual pattern 

Into something different

Minds can open 

To encompass

New vistas 

Unexpected ways

.

Keeping eyes open. 

. 

Invitation [Acrostic]

.

Slightly surreal. 

.

Invitation [Acrostic]      -      07 Apr 21

In my mind

No words just a feeling 

Vicarious shifting of emotions

Internally moving 

Toward an abstract form

Artistic in desire 

Total shift in the vision

Into a new paradigm 

Of unexpected reality

Neverwhere 

.

You are invited. 

. 

Day Opens [Haiku]

.

Another Haiku today. 

.

Day Opens [Haiku]     -     06 Apr 21

A new time begins

With shifts of understanding 

Day opens in light

.

Birthdays do this too. 

. 

Songs Of Night

.

Enchantment, can you hear? 

.

Songs Of Night      -      05 Apr 21 

In the night

When all else 

Is calm and quiet

Some gentle sounds 

Can be heard

Songs of the spirits

The guardians 

Of the world

Weave their spells 

Of protection

Sweet songs of night

To be heard 

Within and around

The wakeful 

As they slip into sleep

.

Can also be an effective lullaby. 

. 

With Me [Haiku]

A simple request.

.

With Me [Haiku]       -      04 Apr 21

All I ask is that

You walk with me as we go 

To explore our world

.

Company is a beautiful thing. 

. 

Little Thoughts

.

Do not need to close my eyes but it helps. 

.

Little Thoughts      -      03 Apr 21 

Eyes closed

Drifting in my own world 

Surrounded by

The little thoughts 

Which create where I am

Nobody else can enter 

Unless invited

To add to the thoughts 

.

Focus, all it requires. 

. 

Ever Before

.

Listen for the answers. 

.

Ever Before      -      02 Apr 21 

In the quiet moments

Between whispers 

And the whisperer

More information 

Is shared than

Ever before 

About the whens

And whys 

Of who

.

They are there to be heard. 

. 

Time

.

In the dark hours. 

.

Time      -      01 Apr 21 

Twentythree

Watching the clock 

The midnight hour approaches

Time waits 

Never

Seconds pass 

Tick after tock

Inexorable 

March of the cogs

.

Time is a fiction, as a wise man said. 

. 

Night Winds

.

Hearing them. 

.

Night Winds       -      31 Mar 21 

Trees dance with their shadows

Wild movements 

Decorum abandoned

Night winds continue on 

Past dawn

.

Seeing the dance continue. 

. 

Flow

.

Memories drift through my head. 

.

Flow      -      30 Mar 21 

Watching the stream

Flow under the bridge 

Sensations of a different

Movement 

Slideways in the flow

To somewhen new 

Wondering where

It will lead 

.

The bridge has featured often. 

. 

Where

.

Something new. 

.

Where      -      29 Mar 21 

Unexpectedly

Finding things 

In times when

Thoughts are elsewhere 

Suddenly brought back

To where 

A new version

Of reality presents 

And persists

.

Watching reality. 

. 

Dreamlight

.

Ethereal illustration. 

.

Dreamlight       -      28 Mar 21 

Silver in the skies

Above the sleeping world 

Illuminates the images

Shared to the minds 

Dreamlight gives form

To the sleepers 

In their journeys

.

Sometimes this light can be seen even when awake. 

. 

Lullaby

.

A Lovely way to fall asleep. 

.

Lullaby      -      27 Mar 21 

Soft sweet lips

Frame a gentle song 

A lullaby

To take me into 

Our dreamworld

.

A Lovely place to go. 

. 

Dreamspace

.

A good place to be. 

.

Dreamspace       -        26 Mar 21 

Eyes closed

Thoughts everywhere 

Around the space

Where dreams are born 

Living in that space

Taking life from 

The essence

Of the dreams 

Making them mine

Adding my dreams 

To them

.

A never ending flow. 

.
