A Note

.

Music empowers all the eternities. 

.

A Note       -      27 Jun 21 

Heard beyond the walls

Of the great hall 

So sweet and pure

Beautiful 

It enchanted

All who heard it 

A note which formed

The root of the 

Lost chord

.

Listen... 

. 

Storm Singer

.

You have heard the song. 

.

Storm Singer      -      26 Jun 21 

A jagged melody

Edged by light in flashes 

Thunder drums the rhythm

And in the midst 

A lone voice proclaims

The solo line 

The storm singer

Without words 

Tells all

.

You know the singer. 

. 

Magic

.

There all along but sometimes a little more focus is required. 

.

Magic      -       25 Jun 21 

Magi give a gentle push

To reality to move it faster 

Perception of the event

The viewer adds an extra letter 

And so magic is born

.

We can all do it. 

. 

Sounds In The Night

.

They can be quite unnerving. 

.

Sounds In The Night       -      24 Jun 21

During the day

Usually ignored 

Often unheard

But at a different time 

They take on a different 

Meaning

Reaching within the mind 

Reshaping thoughts

Sounds in the night 

.

The beginning of an horror story perhaps. 

. 

You Take Me

.

Answers can be found. 

.

You Take Me       -      23 Jun 21 

Through all the infinities

In everywhen 

Where the mystic powers

Rule existence 

You take me

To show me where 

Where we can be

What we can do 

What we can be

Who 

.

Just look around to see the answers. 

. 

Your Hand

.

Reassuring touch. 

.

Your Hand      -      22 Jun 21 

In moments when I feel alone

Your hand gentle touch 

On mine

I know you are with me 

Wherever I am

.

I am never alone. 

. 

Title

.

Sometimes I write in a different direction. 

.

Title       -      21 Jun 21 

Text here

Words follow patterns 

Rules

Shaped thoughts 

On a page once blank

Now just the title is required 

To complete the structure

.

Title first, then the text. 

. 

After The End

.

Thoughts in the darkness. 

.

After The End       -       19 Jun 21 

Day draws to a close

Bringing completion 

Thoughts wander onward

What is there to come 

After the end of the day

Something new perhaps 

Speculation awaits the dawn

.

Good thoughts usually. 

. 

Tad [Acrostic Haiku]

I was challenged to write a poem based on the word "tad", I accepted the challenge and a couple of days later I showed her the result.

.

Tad [Acrostic Haiku]       -      18 Jun 21

Tiny shifts complete

Awareness of increments 

Dream a new meaning

.

Claire liked it. 

. 

Everything

.

Nothing ever happens by accident. 

.

Everything      -      17 Jun 21 

Everything

That has ever happened 

To me

Has led me to this point 

Has led me to you

.

All part of the grand scheme.

. 

Alone With You

.

Thinking about the one special person. 

.

Alone With You      -      16 Jun 21

Always alone

But never lonely 

Because you are

With me 

I am alone with you

Together 

Never apart

.

Never lonely. 

. 

Which Is It

Decisions.

.

Which Is It       -      15 Jun 21

Unknown

A dark 

And sunless day

Path to the left 

Or right

One leads home 

One somewhere else

Take one 

But

Which is it 

.

Sometimes choosing can be very difficult. 

. 

Expecting Evening

.

Evening can be a time of relaxation or change. 

.

Expecting Evening       -      14 Jun 21 

Watching and waiting

Wondering if there will ever 

Be a change

Expecting evening to 

Be different

Bring a new flavour 

To the world

.

The choice could be yours. 

. 

Evening Closes

.

An end to another performance. 

.

Evening Closes       -      13 Jun 21 

Day comes to an end

Chords soft fade away 

Silence falls

Evening closes the performance

The mummers wipe off 

Their make-up

Painted faces 

Become plain again

.

Other people perform at night. 

. 

Forgotten

.

This is the way things are sometimes. 

.

Forgotten       -      12 Jun 21

In the confusion

A clattering of images 

Noises all around

Coloured formless shapes 

Assail my senses

Distract me 

I have forgotten

Who I am 

.

Memory does return, eventually. 

. 

Often

.

The guardian of the me. 

.

Often      -     11 Jun 21 

I hear you

When I least expect 

But often when

I most need to hear you 

You comfort me

When my mind is clouded 

Your Love shines a light

Into me 

.

Bringing clarity. 

. 

Cloud Hides

.

A weather related Haiku today. 

.

Cloud Hides [Haiku]      -     10 Jun 21

Cloud hides blue with grey

Daytime is a mystery 

Sun in a masque ball

.

Sun hidden too much recently. 

. 

Shroud

.

The weather recently has been like this. 

.

Shroud       -      09 Jun 21 

Wrapped in cloud

Hidden from the sun 

Walking a quiet hill

Sound a silent shroud 

Around me

Keeping the world away 

.

Sounds are very muffled. 

. 

Remembering Tomorrow

.

Confusing state to be living within. 

.

Remembering Tomorrow      -     08 Jun 21 

Wandering through my thoughts

I gather images 

Some of which I do not feel

Have happened to me 

Yet

I see them clearly but it feels 

That I am remembering tomorrow

Again 

As if it was yesterday

I have been there eventually 

.

Tenses torn and jumbled. 

. 

None Of The Above

.

How many times do you want to say this? 

.

None Of The Above      -      07 Jun 21 

When presented

With equally unwanted 

Options

All I want to say is 

None of the above

.

Usually considered impolite. 

. 

Words Of Love

.

Just open your eyes. 

.

Words Of Love       -      06 Jun 21 

We walked together

Reading the words 

Of Love the flowers

Wrote around us 

Everywhere

For everyone to see 

. 

And you will see.

. 

Before

.

The paths are mapped out.

.

Before       -      05 Jun 21 

Never before in my memories

Have I seen 

The trails of distant dreams

Etched across the sky 

Contrails of maybes

As much as I do now 

Stretching into the future

.

Look up, they are there. 

. 

Bells

.

Always with me. 

.

Bells      -     04 Jun 21 

Hearing soft sweet chimes

The bells are summoning me 

From slumber

Into wake 

Secret message

Spoken by the tongue 

I hear it

.

The messages can be heard everywhere. 

. 

Elements

.

Playing and growing. 

.

Elements      -      03 Jun 21 

Earth holds us

Water supports us 

Fire warms us

Air lets us fly 

We are Spirit

We weave the elements 

To nurture us

And let us grow 

.

My taste of tradition. 

. 

Friends

.

You know someone like this. 

.

Friends       -      02 Jun 21 

A moment in the company

Touching Spirits 

Kissing Souls

Those who are more 

More than just friends

Within 

.

Someone who is more than special. 

. 

Taste Of Your Kiss

.

Passion is the best spice. 

.

Taste Of Your Kiss       -      01 Jun 21 

Honey sweet

With the spice of passion 

Pepper hot

I relish 

The taste of your kiss

Craving more 

.

An addiction. 

. 

You Touched

.

Thoughts. 

.

You Touched      -     31 May 21 

Unexpectedly

You touched me 

Deeply

Brought hidden 

Repressed

Feelings to the surface 

Allowed them to breathe

And live 

Again

.

Good to see them again. 

. 

In The Grasp

.

I offer thanks to the people who help. 

.

In The Grasp      -      30 May 21 

I feel the touch

Of ancient fingers 

Wrapped around my arm

Giving support 

In the grasp

Of unexpected strength 

Thank you

.

Corporeal or invisible, assistance is always welcomed. 

. 

Bouquet

.

Not entirely certain where this story came from nor where it is going. 

.

Bouquet      -     29 May 21 

Between the torn pages

Of the book 

Fragments of an ancient dream

Torn petals from a sad bouquet 

Scent turned rancid

And stale 

The dream has died

.

I do not know. 

. 

Morning's Sweet Kiss

.

She knows how to wake me. 

.

Morning's Sweet Kiss       -       28 May 21 

She woke me gently

One sweet kiss 

Laid on my lips

Like the morning's blessing 

To start the day

.

The only way to start the day. 

.
