Water's Edge

.

Water at night.

. 

Water's Edge      -       29 Apr 22

At the water's edge 

The undefined moment

Waits for fulfilment 

Among the scattered petals 

Of lost flowers 

Crystals still reflect 

Ethereal light 

Shine in the night

Moon song 

Again waiting 

. 

The song drifts to me.

. 

Starshine

.

Calling. 

. 

Starshine       -        28 Apr 22 

Starshine outlines

Incense forms in darkness

Secret prayers

To unknown gods 

Long gone 

Into the dark of 

Another day 

Waiting for a call

To return 

. 

So many gods are waiting. 

. 

Dream

.

This grew from conversation and thoughts.

. 

Dream        -         27 Apr 22

You are with me 

Every waking moment 

And in the night 

We dream 

Always together 

. 

How the connection works.

. 

Foxglow

.

Creating a reality.

. 

Foxglow       -       26 Apr 22

Petals fold around us

Dancing with the fox 

In the glow of the 

Predawn day

Petals flow a late snow 

Dancing around us 

In the glow 

Of the afterday 

. 

Warm flurries. 

. 

Tranquility

.

Lovely days. 

. 

Tranquility       -        25 Apr 22 

A day today

In moments of tranquility

Warm moments 

Drift through

Sunlight's royal fragments

Sharing light 

Under the sky

With the dreams 

Of tomorrow

As you are here 

With me 

. 

Always Lovely. 

. 

Foundation

.

How we build. 

. 

Foundation       -       24 Apr 22 

Memories 

Are the foundation 

Thoughts 

Bring us closer 

In the skies 

Dreams 

Gather all around 

Taking us 

To new levels 

We dream together 

.

Dreaming is the way. 

. 

Dawn

.

Feeling the light. 

. 

Dawn        -        23 Apr 22 

Windows in the dawn light 

Illuminate both ways

Lamps add to the Sun

Bring a new song

To that day 

Melody grows 

. 

Listening to the music. 

. 

May [Acrostic, Haiku]

.

Waiting for the real change in the weather.

. 

May [Acrostic, Haiku]       -      23 Apr 22

May start of Summer

April showed the way forward 

Yearning for Summer 

. 

It cannot be long now.

. 

Wondering

.

Have you ever looked at your dreams? 

. 

Wondering        -       21 Apr 22 

In the night 

I watch and think 

Through all the dreams 

That hold me

Wondering why 

They do 

When did they start 

Why did they start 

. 

So many dreams seem to have no purpose. 

. 

Candle

.

Gentle light on a beautiful face. 

. 

Candle       -       20 Apr 22

A candle 

Lit a long hour ago 

Light is still strong 

Shows me 

Your sweet smile 

I still feel it 

Enduring on my lips 

Forever fresh

. 

The feel of some kisses lasts forever.

. 

Ultramarine

.

A lovely colour.

. 

Ultramarine         -        19 Apr 22

Looking deep in the night sky

Above and beyond the sea

Between the stars all that shows 

The dark ultramarine of home 

. 

Looking into the blue.

. 

Pale Reality

.

Unreal dreams. 

. 

Pale Fiction         -        18 Apr 22

In empty dreams I wait

For you to meet me 

Again in the places 

Where we used to be 

Before the real 

Tried to reclaim 

Distort our reality 

Into the pale fiction 

That was never for us

. 

Always on guard for the intrusion. 

. 

In My Heart

.

A Love song that came to me almost fully formed. 

. 

In My Heart         -        17 Apr 22

Can you look at me 

Without seeing you 

I have held you

In my Heart 

So many times 

And for so long

We are almost one 

. 

For the one special person. 

. 

Random Shore

.

The strand line has some interesting items if you choose to look.

. 

Random Shore        -        16 Apr 22 

Washed up by a wave 

On a random shore 

A thought torn from

Tired mind adrift 

Between words 

Unknowing

Between minds

Unaware 

Still travelling 

On the tide 

When the strand

Releases 

. 

Waiting for the larger wave to make the change.

. 

Tears

.

Sometimes. 

. 

Tears        -        15 Apr 22

Morning weeps gentle tears

For the passing of night 

Wet dawn sun dries the sky

. 

A little poem today.

. 

Places

.

It is in these places where the special things happen. 

. 

Places        -       14 Apr 22

Going to often places 

Unexpected in the drift 

Of what is normally said 

Feeling the touch 

Of a welcome hand 

In the dark 

Of a dreamworld 

Between words 

And thoughts 

Hiding 

Behind them

. 

Always expect the unexpected. 

. 

Fragments

.

This is sometimes the way poems are birthed.

. 

Fragments        -       13 Apr 22

Out of the light 

Images grow 

Memories scintillate 

Leaving thoughts behind 

Poem fragments

On random pieces 

Of torn paper 

Gather and glow 

. 

They grow by themselves. 

. 

Colours

.

Happy sadness when watching the colours.

. 

Colours       -       12 Apr 22 

Colours of evening 

Muted gold 

Spread on blanket

Of cloud 

Against soft blue 

Pale memories of day 

Fade into night 

. 

Colours and hues are often the most beautiful at this time.

. 

Ghosts

.

Ghosts of everything are everywhere. 

. 

Ghosts       -       11 Apr 22

In the ghosts of tomorrow 

I see the shadows 

Of yesterday still asking

The same questions 

Where have we gone 

Why has the music changed 

Will it return 

To please us again 

The ghosts do not know

. 

Can they tell. 

. 

Open

.

A Birthday present.

. 

Open        -        10 Apr 22

Open eyes to see

The Love being shared 

Given freely 

Simply because 

Open Heart to feel 

The warmth

Of the Soul 

As the kiss melts 

. 

The power of Love. 

. 

Midnight

.

Ever wondered why it is so still at that time? 

. 

Midnight       -       09 Apr 22

Once the midnight starts 

Dreams have to wait 

For the moment to be over 

To allow movement

Again in the darkness 

Midnight rules the movement 

Of everything in the night 

Stillness holds the world 

The dance stops 

For the eternal moment 

. 

Now you know. 

. 

Cares

.

This is something that everybody should remember.

. 

Cares        -        07 Apr 22

In an afternoon 

Moments of tranquility 

Wash the cares of 

Yesterday from 

Memory 

Tomorrow is new 

Cares are old 

They must not mix 

. 

Living in the now is best.

. 

Knot

.

Listening to a record from quite a while ago and this was how I felt.

. 

Knot         -        06 Apr 22

Getting high on the leavings

Words and sounds 

Linger all around me 

Conflict and confusion 

Tie a knot in time 

Ask a butterfly to sing 

Do you understand 

. 

I am not certain that I do.

. 

Great Journey

.

Knowing that the destination is Lovely.

. 

Great Journey       -        04 Apr 22 

On the great journey 

Many landmarks 

Are passed 

Places marked as 

Boundaries between 

Places and thoughts

All different 

One thing is certain 

We will be together

When the journey 

Is over 

. 

The journey is wonderful but the destination is much better. 

. 

Light

.

Looking at the dancing patterns of light beneath the trees on a sunny day.

. 

Light       -       03 Apr 22 

A touch of light 

Between branches 

Dancing across the ground

Sun on the crystals 

Light life

Looking back at the sun 

. 

Almost hypnotic patterns of light. 

. 

Ale House

.

Where "reality" and "imagination" overlap. 

.

Ale House        -        02 Apr 22

Home now 

Remembering where 

I have been 

What I have done 

Wondering if it 

Was really me 

Or stories I heard

In an ale house 

. 

Sometimes impossible to tell them apart.

. 

Memory Dreams

.

This happens to me often.

. 

Memory Dreams        -       01 Apr 22

From the long past 

Suddenly a face

Emerges

As if to haunt 

Or remind

Of a memory 

Things past 

Never again to be claimed 

The memory plays games

Even though it knows 

It can never happen 

But the memory 

Lives in the past 

So it dreams 

. 

Sometimes interesting images surface as well.

. 

Watched

.

A Loving eye.

. 

Watched        -       31 Mar 22 

I have watched you 

Through the millennia 

All I see is the Love

You constantly give 

To me 

You have known me

For all that time

You have watched me 

I give my Love 

To you 

Millennia together

. 

A long term relationship. 

.
