Pen

.

Random thoughts gathered in my head. 

. 

Pen      -       29 Nov 22 

Sand blown 

Wind thrown 

Darkness alone 

Pen 

Speaks of something

Words can never say 

It rests on the paper 

Frozen in mid thought 

. 

Random insanity perhaps.

. 

Songs Of Ice And Snow

.

Fragments of remembered songs live in my brain to be awakened by hearing something.

. 

Songs Of Ice And Snow     -     28 Nov 22 

The ice and snow do not know 

Only sing the songs of loss 

The warm summer gentle waves 

Wash our tears away to mix

With the waters of memory 

Where they can grow and flow 

To form new patterns of thought 

And new memories to fill the mind 

. 

Sometimes I know. 

. 

Moon Sweet

.

So many songs have been written. 

. 

Moon Sweet       -      25 Nov 22 

Nectar of the night 

Bathed in the phantom

Waters of the unreal seas 

On the Moon sweet dream 

Always dreaming 

. 

I have sailed those oceans. 

. 

After Dream

.

The struggle to find meaning. 

. 

After Dream         -        26 Nov 22 

Little images skimming 

Across my mind 

From a dream 

After the dance

They huddle in corners

Of my mind to discuss 

Possible meanings 

. 

The conscious mind often fails.

. 

Taste

.

Thinking about someone special. 

. 

Taste       -       25 Nov 22 

Other days 

The flow is different 

And the taste of the world 

Is not as sweet 

. 

She makes every thing sweeter. 

. 

Fictional Day

. 

The most memorable days can be fictional.

. 

Fictional Day       -       24 Nov 22

Watching a drifting moment 

Sliding across the fields 

Dancing with the shadow 

Of the sun as it hides

In a day of fictional words

Inventing new meanings 

For the old dreams

. 

Sometimes fictional can be more real than reality.

. 

Forgotten

. 

Ever wondered what you were thinking about? 

. 

Forgotten         -       23 Nov 22 

Forgotten thoughts 

Sometimes never recalled 

Hold answers 

To little mysteries

In life

. 

The answer comes if it wants. 

. 

Candlelight

.

Somehow an evening is more welcoming by candlelight. 

. 

Candlelight      -      22 Nov 22 

Candlelight warm glow 

Diffused by a glass mask 

Shines and fills the room

Pleases me again

. 

The simple things are often the best. 

. 

Rain

. 

A lot of this recently. 

. 

Rain       -       21 Nov 22 

Wet above 

Sky filled with cloud 

Wet below 

Road filled with puddles 

Wet around

World filled with rain

. 

Can hear it and see it. 

. 

Tu Me Manque

.

I miss you said in a different way. 

. 

Tu Me Manque        -        20 Nov 22 

The French say it 

More beautifully 

When you are not 

Around with me 

Tu me manque 

You are missing from me

. 

Poetic and with more feeling.

. 

Communication

.

Careless talk can be painful. 

. 

Communication       -      19 Nov 22

Words spoken 

Oft times without thought 

Can sometimes tell more 

Than a focused phrase

Be careful how you speak 

When in communication 

. 

More damage can be caused by a misplaced word.

. 

Circling

.

From the ancient past or just an hour ago. 

. 

Circling      -       18 Nov 22

In memory I saw 

Strange wingèd things 

Circling 

Above me 

Vision fading now 

Replaced with 

Autumn leaves 

. 

Can I see that far back in time? 

. 

Broken Times

.

Then of course, there are never enough. 

. 

Broken Times        -        17 Nov 22 

From the cracks

Between the minutes

Seconds leak out 

To fill the day 

With broken times

That are usually ignored 

Unless there is an

Urgent need 

. 

Never enough.  

. 

Artist

.

With all the rain around, the circles are not clear at the moment. 

. 

Artist       -       16 Nov 22 

Watching the rain

Drawing circles on the road 

Patient artist 

. 

They are visible to the mind. 

. 

Evening Shadow

.

Interesting flavours can be found everywhere.

. 

Evening Shadow        -        15 Nov 22 

I look up 

To taste the shadow

Of the evening

Flavoured with all the 

Sweet nuances of the day

Intoxicating in the depth

Of intensity 

. 

Drunk on the essence. 

. 

Sapphire

.

I remember a gin. 

. 

Sapphire         -        14 Nov 22

In the halls of night

Eternal gem burning bright

Liquid sapphire

. 

Back when I used to take a drink. 

. 

Reality

.

Still searching for reality. 

. 

Reality       -       13 Nov 22

Against the tide 

Flow of evening reality 

Breaks the image 

Into fragments

Reality is insubstantial 

Flows with the tide

Through time

. 

Which way is it going.

. 

Nectar

.

Those exquisite hints. 

. 

Nectar       -       13 Nov 22 

The scent of nectar 

On the air 

Hinting of 

What might be to come 

The promise of delights

Later 

. 

Very difficult to ignore.

. 

I Watched The Stars

.

Always looking. 

. 

I Watched The Stars [Haiku]      -     11 Nov 22

In the years gone by

I watched the stars looking for 

Signs someone had seen

. 

But there was never any message.

. 

A Night In The Garden Of Secrets

.

There are secrets everywhere. 

. 

A Night In The Garden Of Secrets       -      10 Nov 22 

It comes out 

At night 

Born from the dark side 

Of dream

Woven with the tangled web

Of secrets 

Tracing through the garden

Trying to unravel the knots 

Before they get too tight

.

They wait in the garden. 

. 

Conflicts

.

Programs have their own dreams.

.. 

Conflicts       -       09 Nov 22

Imaginary conflicts 

Block the flow 

Of easy progress 

Through the flow 

Of the stream 

Of life 

. 

Do not allow them. 

. 

Evening

.

Thoughts of times past. 

. 

Evening        -       08 Nov 22 

The day curls back on itself 

Random mists swirl 

About the trees 

In the evening as 

The sun vanishes 

Beyond the horizon 

Wrapped in the swirl 

. 

Sometimes watched while travelling.

. 

Turn [Haiku]

.

An Haiku today. 

. 

Turn [Haiku]         -        07 Nov 22

Calm in the mind's eye

Seeing the world turn again

Not able to sleep 

. 

Sleep is not my problem. 

. 

Disparate

.

The images laid upon each other. 

. 

Disparate       -       06 Nov 22

Dreams of the day 

Overwhelm the dozing mind

Trying to reconcile 

The disparate images

With the future intentions

Never quite succeeding 

Always trying 

. 

Trying to get them to match up somehow.

. 

Noctilucent

.

The thoughts of someone special. 

. 

Noctilucent        -       05 Nov 22

She shines at night 

The world is brighter 

Because of her 

She is noctilucent 

Everything is wonderful 

Because of her 

. 

My life is brighter. 

. 

Secret Whispers [Haiku]

.

I have heard the whispers. 

. 

Secret Whispers [Haiku]       -      04 Nov 22

Secret whispers heard

Between the whispers of the 

dreaming trees at night 

. 

I listen for them. 

. 

Sands

.

Remembered deserts.

. 

Sands        -       03 Nov 22 

Sands driven wildly

Scratch my skin 

Blind me to

What is around me 

Hood drawn close 

I blunder ever onwards 

Searching for something 

. 

Will I ever find it. 

. 

To Share

.

I Love sharing. 

. 

To Share       -       02 Nov 22 

After all is done 

Something remains

Always a pleasant task)

We invite each other 

Into the warmth 

Of our arms 

To share 

. 

A Lovely way to be close. 

. 

Smile

.

A reason to smile has opened. 

. 

Smile       -       01 Nov 22 

Patience pays off

Have been waiting 

For so long 

Now the smile

Has touched me again 

She has returned 

. 

It has been too long. 

. 

Knocking

.

Suddenly very windy tonight.

. 

Knocking       -       31 Oct 22

Wind 

Comes knocking

At my window 

On my walls 

Turning off my lights 

At random intervals 

Now I carry a lamp 

Wherever I go 

In case of wind

Knocking

. 

Wind can be a pain sometimes. 

.
