Walking In My Mind

.

A whole different world to examine. 

.

Walking In My Mind      -     28 Jul 21 

Looking at the scenery

Surprising unexpected 

Unknown flowers

In colours I have never seen 

A landscape

Filled with unusual shapes 

Seen only because

I am walking in my mind 

.

I do not think I am alone. 

. 

Exploring

.

Touching on the surreal. 

.

Exploring      -      27 Jul 21 

Knowing where I am

Where I am going 

Maps never explain

Reality 

What it is

Or how 

Only by exploring

Can I understand 

My fingertips see

The textures in the colours 

And feel the warmth

Of light 

.

Can you hear the perfume of roses. 

. 

Pretending

.

Trying to differentiate the many things which can be seen. 

.

Pretending      -      26 Jul 21

Different worlds and

Different ways 

Come together to present

New images 

Each pretending that

They are the only one 

Which is real

.

You must decide what your reality is. 

. 

Forgetful

.

We all have those days. 

.

Forgetful       -      25 Jul 21 

The Sun is forgetful

It used to shine 

Every day

Sometimes now 

It fails to appear

Leaving us beneath 

A cover of grey

.

Dark at night, dark at day. 

. 

Evening Dance

.

Will you come out? 

.

Evening Dance       -       24 Jul 21 

Afternoon slowly fades

Venus shines bright 

In the West

The day goes to rest 

Evening walkers

Move in a secret dance 

Known only to those

Who come out to taste 

Hungry for the night

The special flavours 

Tasted only then

By the favoured few 

.

Are you ready to sample the exotic flavours? 

. 

Dripping Thoughts

.

Inspired by the low-flying cloud. 

.

Dripping Thoughts      -      23 Jul 21

Thoughts

Moist 

Gathering rain from

The air 

Drinking the words

Dripping from the chalice 

Coagulating on the table

Lick them up 

.

Not certain I would want to lick. 

. 

Yet Again

.

Happy trap. 

.

Yet Again       -      22 Jul 21 

Being fully cognisant

Of all the consequences 

Of my actions

Does not prevent me 

From slipping into

The same patterns 

Yet again

So I find myself falling 

In Love with you

Again and again 

And again

I am lost in you 

.

Is that so bad? 

. 

Shattered

.

Someone else, a long time ago. 

.

Shattered       -      21 Jul 21 

You touched me

Broke me 

Washed the world

With my tears 

Not knowing how

You affected me 

The world goes on

But I am left shattered 

.

A fragment of an old me left in the dust. 

. 

In The Dream

.

Look outward. 

.

In The Dream      -      20 Jul 21 

Walls and ramparts

Surround 

Protecting from the day

In the dream 

I am safe

But 

Beyond the wards

I know not 

What may await

.

Keep the watch. 

. 

Only You

.

Spellweaver. 

.

Only You        -      19 Jul 21

In a world

Where wonders are 

Few and far between

There is someone 

Who shares the magic

Only you can weave the spells 

To bring the light

.

Look for the Spellweaver. 

. 

Going Home

.

I have seen this place in my mind for so long. 

.

Going Home       -     18 Jul 21 

The distant hills

Are calling me 

To return to the hazy blue

Of home 

I am going

With joy in my Heart 

Because I know she is waiting

.

It is Lovely to know that someone is waiting. 

. 

Together

.

A statement. 

.

Together       -       17 Jul 21 

We are never apart

Wherever we are 

Whenever

We are always together 

.

Double V rules us happily. 

.

Wakening

.

There is more to be seen than you expect. 

.

Wakening       -      16 Jul 21 

Becoming aware

Things around 

Gradually

Becoming clear 

Wakening into

A Wonderfilled world 

Looking for more

.

There is ALWAYS more than you think you see. 

. 

Irrelevant

.

Unnecessary noise. 

.

Irrelevant      -      15 Jul 21 

Some words have no meaning

Except to make sounds 

To cover up when someone

Is not thinking... 

Again

If the listener could identify 

When these irrelevant 

Noises were happening

Communication would be 

So much easier

.

The world would be much quieter as well. 

. 

In Your Touch

This is the way I feel about the one special person.

.

In Your Touch       -      14 Jul 21 

I have always known

That you were near me 

With me

But in your touch 

I feel you in me

The closest we could ever be 

Thank you

.

She is always with me. 

. 

Schemes

.

Everybody makes them at some point. 

.

Schemes      -      13 Jul 21 

I have plotted

Planned and built 

Little schemes

To further my dreams 

Some of which were

Interesting 

Some were not

But all were fun ao. at the time 

Though I may not

Repeat any of them 

.

Not certain if I would be allowed to repeat some of them. 

. 

Looking In Darkness

.

A potential horror story. 

.

Looking In Darkness       -      12 Jul 21 

Straining eyes

Trying to discern the shapes 

Hidden in darkness

Looking for what is there 

Hoping to see it

Before it sees me 

.

I get fragments of these stories. 

. 

Illumination

.

A picture. 

.

Illumination      -      11 Jul 21 

Light and colour

Come together to form 

A manuscript

Of beauty illustrating 

Where we are

Illumination 

Of the map

.

A picture is often more effective than words. 

. 

Summer Waiting

.

Local observations. 

.

Summer Waiting       -       10 Jul 21 

Still very grey

Winter has dug its claws 

Into the skin of the year

Refusing to let go 

And move on

Keeping Summer waiting

To come out and play 

.

How much longer? 

. 

Talking

.

Looking for a better way. 

.

Talking      -      09 Jul 21 

Exchanging thoughts

Always something different 

Sharing

Talking is often never enough 

To convey meaning

Sharing thoughts 

Is best

.

Open your mind. 

. 

Crystal

.

Look beyond the facets to see more. 

.

Crystal       -       08 Jul 21 

Shards of light

Cast seeming at random 

Rainbows from a crystal

Illuminating 

The depths of thought

.

A touch of sun is all that is needed. 

. 

Before The Beginning

.

Where we first met. 

.

Before The Beginning       -       07 Jul 21 

Formless void

Nothing there 

We waited

For something 

Patiently expectant

We knew 

The beginning

Was about 

To happen

But before 

We wait

.

Lovely knowing that something beautiful is about to grow. 

. 

Dream Me

.

The most private communication. 

.

Dream Me      -      06 Jul 21 

In night I ask

For a special meeting 

Private contact

Nobody else to be there 

Just we

Please 

Dream me

.

The best way to be alone together. 

. 

Fragile

.

I have seen this happen. 

.

Fragile     .     05 Jul 21 

Thoughts can be

Shattered 

Dreams broken

By a careless word 

From an unthinking person

How fragile 

Is the mind

.

Be careful what you say. 

. 

There Are

.

Thank you. 

.

There Are       -      04 Jul 21 

Many times

Many places 

Many people

All of which have 

Had an influence

On me 

There are none

Like you 

Who have affected me

More 

All I can say is

Thank you 

.

Never seems enough but, thank you. 

. 

Autumn In The Distance

.

An observation of what seems to be happening. 

.

Autumn In The Distance      -      03 Jul 21 

Not so very far away

I can see the falling leaves 

Autumn

In the distance 

Speaks its name to me

Asks me 

Are you ready

.

Global warming? Not here. 

. 

Dream

.

Searching everywhere for the elu, elusive. 

.

Dream       -      02 Jul 21 

In the realm of night

I wander 

Looking for the image

I seek 

Questing through

The worlds of dream 

.

Sleeping is sometimes the only way to see. 

. 

Do You Ever

.

Explaining those moments. 

.

Do You Ever      -      01 Jul 21 

Do you ever think of me

Unexpectedly 

Suddenly being aware

I am thinking of you

Holding the vision 

Close to me

In those moments

We are together 

In an infinity

.

You have felt them. 

. 

Looking At Blue

.

Weather wants to be summer but is not quite managing.

.

Looking At Blue       -      30 Jun 21 

Looking at the clouds

Hearing the rain 

Wondering if I will

Ever be 

Looking at blue skies

Again 

.

Cloud and rain say no. 

. 

Where We Am

.

Playing in the otherwhere. 

.

Where We Am       -      29 Jun 21 

An eternal space

A place 

Where we

Can explore 

Our am-ness

And see what 

We can be

.

A special place to self-explore. 

. 

Eyes

.

Being watched. 

.

Eyes       -       28 Jun 21 

Moving around

I am aware of you 

Watching me

I could feel your eyes 

On me

Wondering what 

You are thinking

As you watch me 

Wondering

Shall I find you 

And ask

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see 

Do you see the Love

I have for you 

Do you see more

.

Wanting to find out more. 

.
