Eternities Shore

.

The waves and the wind can always be heard.

. 

Eternities Shore      -      30 May 22 

The winds of time 

Break against

The waves 

Of eternities shore 

In the opening dream 

Of the night winds 

Songs 

. 

The sounds encourage sleep.

. 

Castle In The Cloud

.

For some it is but a fantasy.

. 

Castle In The Cloud        -       29 May 22

The castle was built 

For us

Rainbow below us 

A bridge to the entrance 

Gateway in the cloud 

And we can fly 

From here 

. 

For us, reality.

. 

Four O'Clock

.

The time may vary but the feel remains the same. 

. 

Four O'Clock        -        28 May 22

Four o'clock in the morning

The birds are starting 

To call the sun into the sky

To light the world again 

Morning mists gathered 

In the valleys will fade soon 

Making way for the day 

Dawn breaking 

. 

Dawn is a beautiful time. 

. 

Kisses

.

Thoughts of just one of the things we want to do. 

. 

Kisses       -       27 May 22 

All waking moments 

My dreams as well 

Are filled with thoughts 

Of your kisses 

When we are together 

Again 

We shall make them real 

. 

It will be good.

. 

Edge Of The World

.

An hypnotic dance. 

. 

Edge Of The World        -        26 May 22 

With you 

Watching 

The sea dance for us 

Slow movement 

Accompanied 

By the gulls over 

The edge of the world 

Water 

Land 

Air binds them 

Into the eternal dance 

. 

Perfect for the long slow afternoons. 

. 

Touching Dreams

.

Lovely dreams. 

. 

Touching Dreams       -       25 May 22

Touching thoughts 

Of you 

With the dreams I have 

Of you 

We are always together 

In our dreams 

We can fly 

In our dreams 

.

Really together. 

. 

Time

.

Time can be counted in different ways.

. 

Time       -       24 May 22

Time teases 

Waits in quiet places 

Where unsuspecting 

People never know

Never go 

Cobwebs tell the hours 

In the amount of dust 

Gathered in the silken haze 

Wrapping the keys

Of time 

. 

The telling of time in natural ways.

. 

Tomorrow Rises

.

Seeing it all. 

. 

Tomorrow Rises       -       23 May 22 

Tomorrow rises 

In memory of the 

Day that was to come

Through the wind 

Of the mystery 

The petals fall again 

. 

Soft fragrant snowflakes.

. 

Remembered

.

Those magical moments.

. 

Remembered        -        22 May 22

Drifting through the evening

Remembering the day 

That was

And will remain

A sweet moment 

In all time 

Forever remembered 

. 

Treasured because they happen infrequently.

. 

The Song Of The Wild Moon

.

We have all heard this song at some point. 

. 

The Song Of The Wild Moon      -      21 May 22 

Across the plains

To the place of dawn 

The song of the wild Moon 

Is heard 

Gathering the shadows

Of the night 

To hide the thoughts 

Of a lost Love 

Who wants to be found

The wild Moon 

Knows this feeling 

And is protective 

. 

Some may still be hearing it.

. 

Secret

.

An awareness while immersed. 

. 

Secret       -        20 May 22

Water surrounds me 

Holds the secret 

Of where I am from 

Where I am going 

The waters and I know 

. 

Knowledge arrives when it wants.

. 

Between

.

Best of all possible worlds. 

. 

Between       -        19 May 22

In the darkling sky 

A glimmer of light 

The hint of the galaxy 

Between clouds 

Between stars 

Between dreams 

I watched 

The glimmering 

Between worlds 

And I was there 

. 

I am always there. 

. 

Possible

.

Shifting from one position to another. 

. 

Possible        -        18 May 22

Looking through the lens 

At the times when 

The inevitable might melt 

Into a pool of possible 

Or something softer 

Rigid is dangerous

Let it go 

. 

Just a suggestion. 

. 

Long Time

.

There are times when a memory cannot be fully recovered and there does not seem to be a reason.

. 

Long Time       -       17 May 22 

Looking for a memory 

Not certain if I could find 

What I am looking for 

Because it was 

A long time ago 

And maybe the memory 

Does not want to be found 

Or seen again

. 

Some memories are best left undisturbed. 

. 

Courtly Dance [Haiku]

.

This grew while watching the wind.

. 

Courtly Dance [Haiku]       -      16 May 22

Trees bow politely

To the wind as it passes 

Courtly is the dance 

. 

That was how dances used to be.

. 

Wind Holds

.

A spell that did not work.

. 

Wind Holds       -       15 May 22

Fourteen times 

The ancient words 

Were spoken to try 

To open the lock 

Free time from 

The wind 

Every reality was

Fractured in

Unthinkable ways 

The lock remains 

And the wind holds

. 

Even at the lightest, the wind is more powerful than you know. 

. 

Confusion

.

Played the solo version frequently.

. 

Confusion       -       14 May 22 

In 

The darkness of midday

Confusion 

Scattering the crows

Mind 

The sun at midnight 

Games 

. 

Who wins? 

. 

Dark Past

.

Not autobiographical but I have witnessed things like this. 

. 

Dark Past        -       13 May 22 

I knew you were here 

I could feel your eyes 

On the back of my head

We said nothing 

Your look was a touch

From the dark past 

I dared not return 

Your gaze 

I did not want to return 

To that time 

Tears filled my eyes 

. 

Not a pleasant experience. 

. 

Dream Place

.

Among the things at the water's edge.

. 

Dream Place       -        12 May 22 

Along the strand line

A dream washed up 

Left in a place 

Where things are 

Often forgotten 

Abandoned 

To the vagaries 

Of the tide 

Sad remains 

Of a once loved 

Dream 

Unrembered 

Lying in the fragments 

Of the seaweed 

Walk away 

It is not your dream 

. 

How many things once had meaning.

. 

Red Cliffs

.

Memories can colour entire lives. 

. 

Red Cliffs       -        11 May 22

The plaintive call 

Still echoes above 

The Red Cliffs

Every dawn 

As the memory 

Of the lost Lover 

Is recalled 

He is never forgotten

But gradually 

The tears dry 

And the call fades 

A little 

. 

Fades but it never goes away completely. 

. 

Hallway

.

The path is clear.

. 

Hallway        -        10 May 22

The doors in the hallway 

All lead to the same dream

Across the stars 

Through midnight 

When dark reveals 

The paths to knowing

. 

It might be the same dream but it is much larger than you think.

. 

River Child

.

Something that can be heard if you really pay attention. 

. 

River Child        -        09 May 22

In the whispers 

Of the stones

Can be heard 

The wistful words 

Of the river child 

Always telling 

Of the Moon on the river 

. 

Sad words because the river child can never touch the Moon.

. 

Eternities

.

The song of Love should never be complex. 

. 

Eternities        -        08 May 22

The song of your Heart 

Calls to mine 

Through all our eternities 

We are forever linked 

By a simple tune 

Which has joined us 

Forever 

. 

And it plays on... 

. 

Magic [Haiku]

.

It grew as if by... 

. 

Magic [Haiku]        -        07 May 22

Spells, incantations 

All the tools to make it work 

Everywhere Magic

. 

Sometimes tools are not required, it just works. 

. 

Full Nights

.

A Lovely way to be. 

. 

Full Nights        -       06 May 22 

Feeling the touch

Of a friendly hand 

The brush of

Loving lips

Nights are as full

As days 

Not able to tell 

Which is which 

All are enjoyable

. 

Personal pleasures. 

. 

Waves Calling

.

Listening to the whispers. 

. 

Waves Calling        -         05 May 22

Rain washed the wall 

By the path to the sea

Water to water

Down the hill 

Waves calling again

Across the sands 

Like all the yesterdays 

And tomorrow too 

Like the sea it calls 

In a forgotten whisper 

. 

The whispers are haunting and can never be forgotten.

. 

Amber

.

So many old thoughts and memories are held in this way.

. 

Amber         -         04 May 22

Out of the past

I reached and captured 

A memory of an old smile 

Held in the Amber 

Of thought

The smile still held me 

After all the years 

Calls me as though

Still fresh

. 

A precious resin to protect precious memories.

. 

I Dreamed You

.

A deeper connection between two people. 

. 

I Dreamed You       -       03 May 22

I dreamed you 

Last night 

In the stars 

Again you took me 

You gave me you 

We danced together 

In the Moonlight 

. 

More than just a dream. 

. 

Flames Of Sunset

.

So many often the most beautiful time of day.

.

Flames Of Sunset       -       02 May 22

In the West 

The flames of sunset 

Grow dim

As the day gathers 

To a close 

Evening whispers

A silent word 

To the star 

That heralds 

Night dreams 

. 

And the nightbirds start their songs.

. 

Renaissance

.

Semi autobiographical poem, I will leave you to which parts are real and which fiction.

. 

Renaissance       -      01 May 22

Long, long ago 

A romance was new

But the two drifted apart 

Leaving only cobwebs

To fill the gap 

Others came and went

Nothing seemed right

And romance seemed 

To be gone forever 

Days were quiet 

Then a new face

Filled the void 

Renaissance of romance

World lives again

In the flower of Love 

. 

The world is beautiful again. 

. 

After Moments

.

The spirit is always there. 

. 

After Moments        -        30 Apr 22 

Taking a slow breath 

Changing essence 

To hold the moments 

After thoughts have stilled 

And awareness fades 

Into the dream 

Moments continue 

To hold the form 

Of the first breath 

. 

The breath can still be felt.

.
