Woven Lace

This poem grew just moments before bedtime last "night".  I was surprised at how well it worked.





Woven Dreams  -  31 Oct 13

Unexpected words
Touch we
Warm caress

Kisses woven
Warming flow
Love’s web

Breath invites
Sweet sigh
Interlaced dreams





I am constantly pleased at how Muse offers me little suggestions.

Then And Now

Listening to a random selection of music tracks from various groups and this poem started drifting through my mind.





Then And Now  -  29 Oct 13

Sweet child of time
Watching me
From the space
Between moments
The intersection
Of the planes
Of the then
And the now
She smiles and
Sings me a Love song





Sweet Lady sings a sweet Love song.

I Wonder

A Love song, written in a folk ballad style, with a touch of melancholy.





I Wonder  -  28 Oct 13

A tall ship stands
In the western harbour
And I wonder
Who she is waiting for

A soft wind
Gathers the scent of spice
From the sea
To carry it across the land

I remember those mellow days
Filled with warm sunshine
And I wonder
Who is waiting there now

A sweet voice
Gathers my memories
From wherever they lie
To carry them back to me

A gentle touch of a soft hand
Wakes the Love within me
And I wonder
Shall I see her again?





This was born just after the one posted yesterday, it came as something of a surprise to me when it emerged.

Wilderness

With quite a large measure of "limite surréaliste" I present this poem, birthed amid the sound of winds and rain.





Wilderness  -  28 Oct 13

No path to follow
Feeling a hand
Taking mine
Leading me
Urging me on
Wanting to show
A secret
Help me to see
She waits
Patiently
Till the secret
Unfolds





It would be interesting to see where this trackless way through the wilderness leads.

She Knows Me

Another Love poem, this grew seemingly out of nothing.  I find it fascinating when Muse offers little suggestions.





She Knows Me  -  27 Oct 13

Gentle smile
Warmth in her eyes
Looking at me
Caring

Soft touch
Opens my Heart
To her ~ alone
Requesting

Quiet whisper
Words of Love
Hold my Soul
Forever

Sweet kisses
Secret words
Hold us together
Eternally





I really Love the offerings that Muse gives me.

Time Tied

This poem grew quite suddenly out of a tiny hint held in the opening line.





Time Tied  -  25 Oct 13

In all the days
Before
All the days 
From now on
We have been
Will be
One

Time has tied us
Together
In the tide
Of Love





I seem to be caught in a cycle of Love songs ~ Excellent *rubs hands together*

Love Flower

A subtle Love song ~ nothing more to say.





Love Flower  -  25 Oct 13

Petals of a Love
Once bloomed
In a secret place
Perfume lingers
Love flower
Always blooms
Often unexpected
Always welcomed





There will be more somewhen soon.

Cold Nights

This poem was birthed when I saw the words that form the title line and then it grew quite quickly.





Cold Nights  -  24 Oct 13

Shiver
I call you to me
No matter how far apart
We are
Our thoughts are together
We warm each other
With just a spirit touch
Keeping warm
In the night





A good way to keep warm.

Autumn Morning [Haikū]

Another Haikū formed from the memory of travelling to school on Autumn mornings and combined with the actual time of year now.





Autumn Morning [Haikū]  -  22 Oct 13

Aki no asa
Red sun hangs ~ empty branches
Watching mist dancing






Aki no asa ~ Japanese for “Autumn Morning”

Conflict Of Interests

I don't think I need to say more ...





Conflict Of Interests  -  22 Oct 13

Bed calls me back
Insisting
Sleep is good

Muse argues
So many things to write
Offers images

Mind says
Let me …
Just …





... really I don't.
