As promised [ threatened ? ] a couple of days ago, I now offer a variation on the "limite surréaliste" concept. A darker level which I am naming "limite surréaliste de l'obscurité".
Moondark - 29 May 14
And in the darkness
Of a Moondark sky
Stars hidden
By the nightmare
And your bloodstream
Dreams
Scarlet screams
Of oft-told dreams
Schisms in the dark of dream
Shining in a brooding night
Pandora’s dream
The tears of a sleeping princess
Drown the smiles
Of the aged clown
Who moves in his usual ways
To please the King
In the dark sky
Dreams are pinned for all to see
To imaginary stars
And all thoughts
Hoping for a dawn
Which never comes
Do you think that I could take this to darker levels?
Perhaps this is a possible definition of Love.
Mutual Madness - 29 May 14
In a moment of madness
I reached out to you
For comfort
My madness was rewarded
As you reached for me
Together
We took our madness
And turned it into something
Special
A little Love song with a slight twist.
When this poem was birthed I realised that it was one of the darker "limite surréaliste" offerings. It rather pleased me because it really emphasised the surreal nature of where my poems are beginning to wander.
Webbed In Dark - 28 May 14
Fringes of darkness
Decorate my thoughts
The edges open to reveal
Scarlet dreams and open wounds
Web of dark
Holds me in its thrall
Fingers of ice
Run down my spine
Drip in my memory
Flow through
Unwanted dreams
Fringes of my mind
Lost in the dark
Maybe future poems in this theme will be even darker ~ who knows.
Just the first line ~ along with an impression of something on the edge of my vision ~ came to me as I was preparing for bed, since it was just the single line I ignored it. When I woke the line was still there so I let it flow.
Edge Of Vision - 27 May 14
Seeing
Aware of movement
On the edge
Formless movement
Hinted shapes
Then you
Filling my vision
With the vision
Of you
Watching you move
Around me
Unexpected arrival
Always welcome
Your moves excite me
Hinting at more
Dancing from the edge of me
Into the Heart of me
This poem was not quite what I was expecting but it works.
This poem grew in the late afternoon but the last stanza only appeared when I was in bed and Muse dropped a hint.
Cold Tears - 26 May 14
Afternoon rain
Washes like cold tears
Across the cheeks
Of the earth
Warm incense
Touches the senses
Flows through the mind
Opens thoughts to elsewhere
Sweet smoke
Takes me back … forward
Links me through all the times
I inhabit
The worlds of everywhen
Show me what I am
I remember the cold tears
I once shed
The tears for long-lost Loves
Held once then slipped
Into the mists forgotten
Incense returned to remind me
It is not unusual for additional stanzas to appear when I am supposed to be going to sleep.
A little poem which grew from the opening line which sat in my mind for most of the afternoon.
Dark And Light - 25 May 14
Abandoned in the darkness
How it feels as you left
Surrounded by empty
Filled by empty
Empty
Then your light brightens my world
I open my eyes and see your face
Surrounded with you
Filled with you
You
Not certain how to describe this poem.
This started out being a Love song but my thoughts gradually shifted and the focus shifted too. The end result was a received Love song ~ see what I mean ...
Finger Painting - 24 May 14
Paint on me the rainbow hues
Of your Love
Use no brushes
Just your fingertips
Colour my world
With your Love’s light
Show me your world
So we can dance together
Little traces in light and colour
You leave on my skin
Turn into words for me to read
I Love You
I rather like the way it turned out.
In an afternoon as tiredness wafted over me, my mind was more open to thoughts and this poem grew.
Places - 23 May 14
In the secret place
Where dark and light
Blend and merge
Love grows
In the secret place
Where whispers
Are the loudest thing
Love grows
In the secret place
Where fingertips
Do the talking
Lust grows
In all the secret places
We share together
Words are unnecessary
We grow
A sort of Love song / Lust song.
I offer the third and final part of the "Wrap" sequence of poems.
We Wrap We - 22 May 14
We own the dream
In dream caressed
Played the magic games
Through to completion
Knowing on the new day
Ahead of us
We can start new games
So for now
We rest
In each other’s arms
We wrapped in we
Into the night
Together
We
With kisses
And Love
In our dream
Forever
I hope you enjoyed the sequence.
This is the second of the three "Wrap" sequence of poems.
I Wrap You - 21 May 14
In soft silk enfolded
Held with gentle kisses
In a tender embrace
I wrap you in me
Holding you close
In a world of our own
In a dream of our own
Our days and nights
Flow together
As I hold you
Wrapped in me
The final poem will appear on the morrow ~ all being well.
This is the first part of a trilogy of poems which are just forming. If all goes well the second and third poems will follow on successive days.
You Wrap Me - 20 May 14
Moments of another day
Wrapped in gossamer
Fine dream
Open to interpretation
Only one can be seen
You hold me
In the same dream
All the days
Joined as one image
Wrapped in you
Posting this just after I have said that most of my poems do not need to be read in a specific order.
This Love song is the one I intended to post last time but another poem interrupted.
You Are The Song - 17 May 14
You are the song
I try to sing
Your complex melody
Enchants me
But I can never
Replicate
The Beauty of you
Or sing
Your song
At least these poems are not intended to be read in any particular order.
This is not the poem I had intended to post today, that one will probably appear tomorrow.
Muse woke me as I was trying to get to sleep and offered her words ~ since, as I have said, I never argue with her ~ and so here is the poem she offered.
Prophecy - 18 May 14
The prophecy
Waits
For those who
Wait
And watch
With open eyes
And open minds
A man
Five thousand miles
A woman
Connect
Build
Holding dreams
In a sacred space
Together
Interesting how these things happen. The "Five thousand miles" reference is from two previous poems I wrote a little while ago.
A poem with more than the average amount of "limite surréaliste" in it.
Remembering What - 17 May 14
Remember tomorrow
The land where
Possibilities and impossibilities
Collide
And shed the fragments
On our today
Traces for us to follow
Images imagined
Tasted in a dream
Smelled while awake
Waiting to see
The fragments
Come together again
Before the next dance
Perhaps I should develop the category to allow for different levels.
There was no specific trigger for this poem other than a feeling which grew out of the paired words in the first stanza.
Sensuous Smile - 17 May 14
Tongue tip
Tasting teasing
Sparkling eyes
Watching me
Watching you
Tasting your lips
Sharing the sensuous smile
I feel your breath
On my cheek
As you whisper
The special words
We share
Not so much a Love song as a Lust song.
A poem filed with vague memories, future wishes and a little communication with the sea.
Afternoon By The Sea - 14 May 14
Sit by the window
Let the thoughts
Drift gentle
Through your mind
Remember the afternoons
When we played
With the sea
She still waits for us
Waiting for the tide to change
So we can walk out
Across the sand to the water’s edge
And dance with the sea
As she dances with us
Through all our days
And all our nights
In all our ways
With a hint of Love song in it too.
This poem was birthed just moments after the last one.
Kissed - 13 May 13
Kissed by the rain
As I wait for you
Kissed by you
As you arrive
Kissed by the sun
Because you smile
Kissed by angels
Because you are
Occasionally the poems do come in groups.
The idea for this came to me several hours before the poem actually formed, when it did the poem flowed quite well with only minor changes needed.
Thank You For You [Acrostic] - 13 May 14
Thoughts flow between us
Holding future memories
Amber moments of afternoon
Never ending
Kisses shared
Yesterday held a promise
Of special things to come
Unexpected pleasures
From our Eternities
Our worlds are endless
Rolling through the Multiverse
You have reached
Out to me
Unfolding our future for us
Thank you ♥
Fairly early in my day the one-word title came into my mind but it was well past midnight, of the following day, before the poem grew.
Dreamwalker - 13 May 1
A dream once thought
Impossible
Made real by what you said
To me
Whispered in the night
Surrounded by stars
Wrapped in Love
Coming to see you
In our dream
I walk
To you
Sometimes just letting the thoughts cook for a while ...
A day filled with racing clouds was the inspiration for this poem. It was also to be a carrier of a little Love.
Clouds - 11 May 14
Sunlight
Dances between
Showers
Dark clouds
Light clouds
…
No clouds
Dreams dance
Between minds
Skip like clouds
Warm thoughts
Filled with Love
Fly between us
Love drives the world.
Having walked a labyrinth, I felt that I would like to offer a slightly different take on it.
Labyrinth - 11 May 14
Intention
You set the path
Showed me where to go
Follow the way
Through the labyrinth
Only the one path
Leads me to you
Only one way
Through the labyrinth
Your gate awaits
Your Love
Calls me on
Into the centre
A kiss opens the gate
For me
A Love song from the labyrinth.
A simple [?] thank you Love song for someone special.
Soul Touch - 10 May 14
A gift
Unexpected
Touch to my Soul
Light in my life
Your Love
Fills me
With starlight
Are thank you messages ever simple?
A Love song triggered by a perceived taste of honey even though I have not eaten any for many months.
Slowly - 08 May 14
Honeyed words
Drip
Slowly
From her tongue
Fall softly on me
Glazing my thoughts
Giving me a taste
Of her
Her honey intoxicates me
Lets her Love
Fill me
Draws my Love out
For her
Interesting how little imagined things can influence thoughs of the "real world".
This poem grew in the afternoon and is formed from a completely serendipitous event. I mistyped the word "more" in the last line and the auto-correct function in Word changed to to "moiré" for me only after I looked away and did something else for a while. It was such a good change I decided to keep it and I feel really pleased with the result.
Secrets In The Sky - 07 Ma7 14
Sun secretly rising
Behind a veil of cloud
Air has a tinge of blue
But not in the sky
Afternoon sky
Just grey cloud
Hiding moiré secrets
Sometimes chance plays an important part in life.
This is a sort of reverse Love song, "my" response to the Loving touches from someone.
Love's Rose - 5 May 14
The scent of the rose
Caresses my senses
Soft velvet petals
Stroke my cheeks
You lay them on me
With every move you make
Every touch
Your hand of Love
Your whispered message
Soft Love
Words that grow
Within me always
A Love song is still a Love song however it was written and in whatever direction it flows.
My mind was open for inspiration and only the one word "fires" came through, always ready for the challenge I wrote.
Fires - 05 May 14
Fire in the sky
Sunlight warms the world
Lights the day
Opens our eyes to see
Fire in the mind
Warms the body
And opens awareness
To new beauty
Fire in the Heart
Opens me to see you
Shows me your beauty
Fills me with happiness
Fire in the Soul
Drives the Passion
Draws us closer
And takes In Love
Sometimes I surprise myself ~ though there is no surprise that this turned into another Love song.
I am not at all certain where the inspiration for this poem came ~ but I am glad it did.
Drifting Through Afternoon - 04 May 14
The afternoon’s mellow drift
Colours melt into dream
Hands intertwined
Cradling thoughts
Listening to soft words
Washing like gentle waves
Across my shore
Your smile
Is my sun
And in your eyes
The stars
Just another little Love song.
Somewhere in the depths of my mind I heard something about candles and was inspired to write a poem.
Candles - 04 May 14
Candles
Room filled with soft light
You carry the light
Of Love to me
You merge with my Love
Make it yours
Share you with me
Love in the candlelight
Wrapped in each other
Always
I was also aware of some music in the background.
Muse again interrupted a DVD I was watching to suggest that I write a poem so, as requested, here is the poem.
Kisses In The Dark - 02 May 14
In near dark
Moon’s reflected glow
Paints streaks
On the walls
Silver glint
In your eyes
As you lean forward
Lips touch
Painting kisses
On our Hearts
As I have said before, I will never argue with Muse.
Yet another Love song ~ once again just because ...
Moon's Silence - 01 May 14
Moon’s silence
Allows the whispers
And the secrets
Of our Love to grow
She watches
But keeps our secrets
To herself
And in her silence
She smiles
There will be more to come before too long because I like writing them.
I felt a sudden urge to write another acrostic and Love song.
Suddenly [Acrostic] - 30 Apr 14
Slowly ~ moment by moment
Understanding grew
Darkness faded and
Daylight flowed in my Heart
Ending the loneliness
Now I knew that ~ I
Love
You
I also seem to be getting a strange urge to make punny, or funny, references to the poem from the intro.
