Balance

A Love song which almost fits into the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence.





Balance  -  07 Jul 16

Holding all
In perect balance
Strength in a light touch
Knowing we
Ride the waves
To meet
In our land
Where dreams grow
To reality





In essence but not quite in substance.

Scents

Another "Sense" and another Love song combination.





Scents  -  06 Jul 16

Becoming aware of you
Feeling the essence
You hold
To carry through
The Multiverse
I hreathe deeply
To capture your scent
Smell your Love





More new and some reworked concepts to come.

Heard

Another offering in the "Senses" sequence.





Heard  -  05 Jul 16

In the untravelled paths
Of my mind
I hear you
Telling me of your Love
Secret whispers
Meant only for me





Another Love song as well.

Touch

Another in the "Senses" sequence.





Touch  -  04 Jul 16

Hands speak to bodies
With words of touch
Thet also reach
Into the mind
To tell how much
Love is shared
From hand
To hand
To ...





A subtle Lust song too.

Taste

The second of the "Senses" sequence.





Taste  -  93 Jul 16

Sweet kisses
Intoxicating
Leaving a trail of you
Across my lips
On my tongue
Within my mind
The taste of YOU
In my Heart
Never to be forgotten





This is also a Love song.

Sight

This is the first song in a new "Senses" sequence.





Sight  -  02 Julv16

Eyes open to the world
Wonders unfold
Before you
Trees dance in majesty
Slow waltz
In time with the sun
Arms spread
Waiting for you
To welcome you
Watch
And join the dance





The songs may only be loosely connected to the senses but I feel that they still work.

The rest of this sequence follows over the next few days.

Dreaming A Star

Wishes and dreams build upon each other and grow.





Dreaming A Star  -  01 Jul 16

Through the night
I think of you
Dream you into my life
Told to wish upon
A star
I wish upon you
Dreaming is fulfilled
When I dream you
Through the day
And dream you
In my life





YOU are my star.

Journey Home

I am home with YOU.





Travelling
Through an infinite space
Carrying a hope
Dreams of what
We want

Your arms
Reach out
Enfold me
I am home





Home is where the Heart is.

A Palm Full Of Whispers

A whispered Love song just for YOU.





A Palm Full Of Whispers  -  29 Jun 16

Words are not sufficient
To fully tell the tale
Sometimes slience
Interspersed
With quiet whispers
Held in the palm
Of the hand
Can say the most
Shared by gentle touoches
Take my whispers
See my secrets





Hear my whispers.

Tiny Chasms

The gap really is not as great as you think.





Tiny Chasms  -  28 Jun 16

The gulf
Between what is
And what might have been
Is not as big as tou think

The gulf
Between what is
And what might be
Is even smaller

All it takes
Is one little step
To cross over
The tiny chasms





Srep over it and join me.

Places

One of the little sensuous poems.





Places  -  27 Jun 16

Fingertips barely touching
Smooth movement
Explorinng
Questing
The places where
The space between us
Is at a minimum
Our minds can meet
In those spaces
Communication begins





One of the fun ways of communicating.

Wind Sigh

A slightly wistful Love song.





Wind Sigh  -  26 Jun 16

The wishes
Carried
By a chaotic breeze
In silence
Wishes
Requesting
A meeting by the stream
Hoping you can hear
My sigh
In the wind





Can YOU hear?

Spaces Between Words

The way in which words and thoughts mingle and grow.

Spaces Between Words  -  25 Jun 16

The momentary in-drawn breath

Creates a gap

Into which

A thought can rest

Then grow

Fertile words

The breath of space

Water of the Soul

All create a new world

Some of the Loveliest thoughts come from that breath.

Wondering [Acrostic]

Another acrostic for your pleasure.





Wondering [Acrostic]  -  24 Jun 16

When the moment
Of realisation becomes clear
Never underestiete yourself
Dance in the light of
Evening near the fire of Love
Relish the joy of the
Infinite
No longer wondering
Go into the moment





Love these.

Gentle Hand

Special touches from Love.





Gentle Hand  -  23 Jun 16

Gentle thoughts
From the one
Who has shared
Her Love with me

Gentle kisses
From the lips
Of she who spoke
My name in Love

Gentle hand
Caressed me
Filled me
With her Love





Love is always gentle.

Poet BeMuseEd

Purposefully puzzling title.





Poet BeMuseEd  -  22 Jun 16

Surprised by a kiss
Gentle
With a sudden gift
Of Love
The poet tangletongued
As his Muse smiled
At his loss of words
Confused by Love
Presented
So freely





I do things on purpose.

Summer Dreams

Memories still wander through my mind.





Summer Dreams  -  21 Jun 16

Solstice slipped past
Left a wake
In the low cloud
A memory of a dream
Still walks on the fields
Near the sea
Watching the waves
Kiss the shore
Remembering
More than the dream





Some memories leave a lasting impression.

Night Sky

The title explains where this poem is going.





Night Sky  -  20 Jun 16

Over all
The rainbow stars
Dance in their
Ordered patterns
Surround us with
The wonders and joy
Of the night sky
Listen to the stars
As they sing to us





In Love with star song.

Soul Light

Calling YOU.

Soul Light  -  19 Jun 16

In the darkness

Of the world

I call your name

Call you to me

Dark changes

To light

Your Soul lights me

Light me.

Mist Written

A poem about writing poems.





Mist Written  -  18 Jun 16

Tendrils wrapped
Around the quill
Ink taken
From my breath
To write
Across the sky
In words of mist
To be read
In momentary script
Ephemeral poem





This might also fit in the Love songs sequence since the poem, although ephemeral, can be read by YOU.

A Beating Heart

A Love song for YOU.





A Beating Heart  -  17 Jun 16

When I see you
When I think of you
You are with me
In my thoughts
In the words I think
In the poems I wrote
You are
Consantly in my Heart
My Heart beats
For you





Love songs are always for YOU.

Rain Mist

Something that has been happening quite a lot recently.





Rain Mist  -  16 Jun 16

Tiny drops
Sometimes travel
Upward
Not rain now
Mist
Low flying cloud
Makes me wet
More than rain





It does make getting wet really easy.

Calling Your Name

A Love song from a special dream.





Calling Your Name  -  15 Jun 16

You walked through
My dreams
Running your hands
On my Soul
Leaving soft fingerprints
The essence of you
As you touched me
Deeply
More deeply than
Any other
I called your name
From my dream
And you heard me





Calling YOU.

Promised The Stars

More Love songs to tempt you.





Promised The Stars  -  14 Jun 16

Temptress
Offered me flowers
Pretty but I was not impressed
Brought me jewels
Beautiful but not satisfying
She promised the stars
To entice me and lure me
It did not work
Because all I want
Is you





YOU is all I want.

Cloud City

Playing and flying in our dreams.





Cloud City  -  13 Jun 16

Where dreams wake
As people sleep
Dragons soar
Twixt enchanted towers
In our dreams
We join them
In their flight
Through the city
Wrapped in cloud





All manner of wonders to be seen.

Asking

"Five Thousand Miles" is getting to be rather special now.
It always was special but the focus is getting clearer.





Asking  -  12 Jun 16

I spoke with the wind
Asked
What should I do
The wind
Did not know

I spoke with the waves
Asked
Where should I go
The waves
Shrugged but did not know

I spoke with the Moon
Asked
Where is she now
The Moon
Said follow

Led me west
Five thousand miles
Across sea and land
Moon shone down
Pointed her out to me

Smiled as she watched
Whispered
Lovers in a special dream
Distance is nothing
Left us in our peace





I LOVE the way these poems are going.

Handful Of Stars

A tiny Love song today.





A Handful Of Stars  -  11 Jun 16

A necklace
To adorn you
Your beauty needs
Nothing
But a handful of stars





A simple statement of fact.

Crystal Ships

Dream or exploration of reality?  You decide.





Crystal Ships  -  10 Jun 16

On ocens
Wider than the gulf
Between the stars
We sailed
Carrying treasures
Fit for Spirit guardians
Who speak with Dragons
In the language of Love





I go with reality for I have spoken with Dragons.

Echoes From The Night

An observation of what can be heard, seen and imagined in the hours of darkness.





Echoes From The Night  -  09 Jun 16

Animal calls
In a moment
Stirs the body
Cries of passion
Resound in the darkness
Echoes
Memories of passing hours





We have all heard the echoes.

Star Singer

Smiling with the singer.





Star Singer  -  08 Jun 16

Stellar dreams
Drift all through the universe
Never caged
Always free

The singer
Crafts the words
To fit the dream

The dream flies on
Fills the universe

The star singer smiles





Listen, can you hear the singer?

Secret Place

I an uncertain about which category I should place this poem.





Secret Place  -  07 Jun 16

Between the shadow
Of the Moon
And the sun
We wait
In our secret place
Watching for
The special sign
Left by our other selves
To let us know
