Guardians

.

They always watch. 

. 

Guardians       -       27 Feb 22

A solitary star

Wakes the night

From the daytime dreams 

Into another night 

Of watchful wake

The guardians 

Hold their watch 

Through starfall

Till dawn comes again 

. 

Feeling safe under their gaze. 

. 

Tales

.

This is how they go. 

. 

Tales       -        26 Feb 22 

I could stay

With you 

Forever and a day

How fairytale

Romances

Start and run 

. 

This is the minimum time. 

. 

Moon Light

.

Dreaming is a good way to achieve things.

.

Moon Light        -        25 Feb 22

Under the silver light

Of the Moon 

We sat and dreamed 

Our Love 

To watch 

It grow 

To hold us together 

. 

Dreaming is fun. 

. 

Song

.

How deeply some things touch.

. 

Song        -      23 Feb 22

Listening to a song 

Which tells 

Of an absence 

Feeling it deeply 

Even though 

It is not me 

Or my story 

. 

A song like that can bring tears. 

. 

Trees

.

It takes only one tree to give you an answer. 

. 

Trees       -       22 Feb 22

The tree answered 

A question I have 

Asked for a long time 

And in the sigh 

My answer came clear 

Yes she is the one 

She is yours 

Trees know more 

. 

All that needs to be done is, ask and then listen.

. 

Greenwood

.

Trees all around. 

. 

Greenwood        -       21 Feb 22

The greenwood

Echoes to the call 

Of the cracked brass bellbird 

And the staccato beat

A woodpecker drums out 

All is peaceful 

Under the trees

Listen 

. 

Long time since I heard a woodpecker. 

. 

Jewels

.

They are there, waiting for us. 

. 

Jewels        -       20 Feb 22

Reaching out 

For the jewels 

Of the Moon night 

Scattered in our dreams 

Waiting for the gentle touch

Of a Loving hand 

To coax them out

And fill 

The waking hours 

With the Moon 

. 

Bright and beautiful. 

. 

Sunset

.

Always too early at this time of year.

. 

Sunset       -       19 Feb 22 

Sunset draws near

Nightingale contemplates

The first song under

The canopy of stars 

. 

I used to hear them when I lived in London.

. 

Song Running

.

Partly dream partly... 

. 

Song Running        -      18 Feb 22 

The song running 

Through the trees 

In a playful hunt 

For the hart 

Captivates

Those who

Hear it 

Even for a few notes 

Asks them to join 

The game 

. 

An invigorating game.

. 

Sweet Sigh

.

The most beautiful sound.

. 

Sweet Sigh        -       17 Feb 22 

How sweet the sigh 

Of Love eternal

Unfettered by unwanted 

Control

Flying free

. 

A sound which could melt the hardest Heart. 

. 

Gavotte

.

A little joyful dance.

. 

Gavotte       -      16 Feb 22 

Welcome back to me

A dance to encourage you 

Into my arms 

My arms ache for you 

We gavotte together 

Again the way we used

To call the piper 

To guide us across the floor

. 

Celebrating a welcome return. 

. 

Memories

.

They dance around me like butterflies.

. 

Memories        -        15 Feb 22 

I have waited for you 

In all my dreams 

The sweet wine

Of memory 

Fills all of me 

With the flavour of you 

In the incandescent 

Beauty of memories 

Cascading through

Thoughts of all

I wait 

. 

You are always worth the wait.

. 

Midnight

.

Sometimes I get the best answers this way. 

. 

Midnight       -       14 Feb 22

Midnight 

In the eternal moment

When silence reigns 

I turn to the stars 

To ask 

Where now 

. 

Sometimes Midnight asks questions of me. 

. 

Sweet And Warm

.

Her voice. 

. 

Sweet And Warm         -       13 Feb 22

In a peaceful night 

Her voice was clear 

So sweet and warm 

Devoid of negative thoughts

Leaving only peace

To fill the space 

. 

Fills my Heart with Love. 

. 

Waiting

.

Happily waiting.

. 

Waiting        -       12 Feb 22

Waiting for you 

With a smile 

The one you gave me 

Shared with me

A long time ago

It is still fresh

Always growing 

. 

The smiles are always growing. 

. 

Trapped

.

I knew someone like this once. 

. 

Trapped         -        11 Feb 22

Dark spell 

Written with a special pen 

On a night of no moon 

To ensnare 

He shall escape not 

He is mine forever

Trapped for me 

. 

Thought she could have it all, it did not happen.   No names. 

. 

Dream Writing

.

For the one special person. 

. 

Dream Writing        -        10 Feb 22

I spent 

I do not know how long 

It was worth the time 

I wrote a dream 

For you

. 

Can take the dream where wanted. 

. 

Aldebaran

.

Dreams are wonderful.

. 

Aldebaran        -        09 Feb 22 

In a different dream 

Aldebaran was near 

Shone brightly 

Painted the sky 

A different blue 

. 

Dreams can take you anywhere. 

. 

Pegasus

.

Listening to music, I felt the urge to write and so this poem was born.

. 

Pegasus       -      08 Feb 22 

The whisper of Pegasus

Telling of the times

Spent with a Unicorn 

Playing in the early dawn 

Before Man

The games were gentle 

Music softer than 

The wind in the predawn 

Or an Angel's sigh 

. 

Those times were Lovely.

. 

In My Mind

.

Sometimes wondering what has happened to the people I once knew.

. 

In My Mind        -       07 Feb 22

In my mind 

Talking to people

From my past 

Sometimes

They emerge

From those days 

I asked 

Do you ever 

Think of me 

And wonder

Where I am now 

Or have I just 

Faded into the mists 

. 

One of the questions which can never be answered. 

. 

She Longed

.

She talked with me often.

. 

She Longed        -      06 Feb 22 

The wind talked 

Of faraway lands

In her chill voice 

She longed to return 

But the direction 

Was never right 

So she remained 

Near me still 

. 

I hear the sadness in her voice sometimes. 

. 

Fickle Sunshine

.

The sun is not always visible. 

. 

Fickle Sunshine        -       05 Feb 22

In the fickle sunshine 

Of a late morning 

I walked slowly 

Slowly 

To see the sea 

Dance 

To amuse me

And change my mood 

She had a hard task 

My Lover was not with me

. 

The sunshine does not always help. 

. 

Lament

.

This is what I see. 

. 

Lament        -       04 Feb 22

Soft tears on the window

Sad Autumn fills the days 

Autumn laments its own passing 

. 

Spring is coming soon.

. 

Heart Song

.

More than just a song. 

. 

Heart Song       -       03 Feb 22 

Heart song

Waiting for the change 

A shift in the tempo 

Watching for a new

Key 

The song calls 

Captivating 

Opening new doors 

Taking my Heart 

To sing together 

In a new song 

. 

It should be refreshed frequently. 

. 

Share

.

Sharing we with us. 

. 

Sharing        -       02 Feb 22

Holding on to all the 

Lovely things 

We share every night

And every day 

Because nothing else matters 

. 

Only the important things matter.

. 

Footsteps

.

Heard but never seen. 

.

Footsteps        -       01 Feb 22

Footsteps on a pavement 

Beside a deserted road 

Night holds ownership

Keeps the secret

Of hidden places 

In the darkness 

Of the mind of the walker 

On the pavement 

In the night 

. 

I have occasionally created the footsteps.

. 

Diamonds And Blue

.

Observations on what is.

. 

Diamonds And Blue         -       31 Jan 22

Across the night sky 

Diamonds scattered 

To gather the light 

Of a myriad stars 

And in the day sky

Blue satin wraps 

The hills of our dreams 

And gives wings to them

Diamonds and blue

Shine on always 

Giving form to dreams

Words to the thoughts 

. 

Is beauty and tranquility. 

.
