Icy Fingers

.
The pleasure of subtle pain.




.
Icy Fingers    27 Sep 18

Icy fingers
On the spine of night
Shivers
Somehow pleasing
Night dreams of itself
Dreams of the hand
Enjoying the touch



.
A little pain can bring pleasure but not too much.

Fragments Of Memory

.
Watch for the fragments.



.
Fragments Of Memory   -   24 Sep 18

A mirror shattered
Pieces of images scattered
Memory fragments
Everywhere
Sparks of sparkling light
Tease the memory
Pretend to reform
The mirror of memory
Nothing can reshape
What is lost and broken



.
Only a shadow remains.

.

Time Whispers

Another reason to keep listening.



.
Time Whispers    -   23 Sep 18

Little secrets
From the archives of time
Uncovered by whispers

Time has no conscience
Just an ongoing urge
To record the event



.
Just remember that all events are recorded.

An Haiku today.

Look into the shadows and wait.

Time's Shadow    -    19 Sep 18

Light from the power

Casts a deep shadow
Where the mysteries dwell
And wait
For the right moment
To emerge
Be ready to meet them

Watching for the mysteries.

ESWN

.
My take on the cycle of the world and the elements.



.
ESWN    -   18 Sep 18

East

Sunrise
The Eastern sky
Pales
Dew carried back
Into the night

South

Fires of the day
Across the sands
Dried
Baked in the clay
Of yesterday

West

Ocean
Prepares to cradle the sun
Night calls him
To leave the sky
To the stars

North

The stones of the dark
Cold
Realm of stars
Diamonds in the sky
Night waits




.
A set of feelings I have for the circle of the day.

.

Other Times

.
Still looking for the special way to say things.




Other Times    - 17 Sep 18

Times when I want to say
Something
Special and the words
Never fall right
I wish for other times
Words
Ways of saying
The special
Message
But I have to fall back
On the same words



.
The message is always Heart-felt.

.

New Words

.
Looking for ways to say things.



.
New Words    -   16 Sep 18

Asking for different ways
To say the same things
Words often feel stale
Need to be refreshed
Feeling behind always
Strong and fresh
That is what matters



.
It is not just the words but the feeling behind them.

Noctus

Dreaming of a night-flowering blossom with a mildly surreal feel.



.
Noctus   -    15 Sep 18

Dreaming of the night blossom
Dreams more vivid
Clearer
Carrying wishes to the stars
The scent intoxicating
Shapes thoughts
And visions
Just a breath of
Noctus somniferum
Can transport the mind



.
Wish I had a couple of plants in my garden.

This is the first Acrostic I have offered for quite some time.

Retreating [Acrostic]    -   14 Sep 18

Recalling all those
Energetic and Invigorating
Things we shared and will share
Retreating into a shared reality
Eternally long
And filled with Love
Transcending this world and moving
Into a dream
Now growing in strength
Gaining from our Love's power



.
I hope you enjoy this.

Breathless Kisses

Love and passion, a powerful force.



.
Breathless Kisses   -   11 Sep 18

In a warm afternoon
With the sun lighting
The trees with gold
Light of passion shines
Warms and fires us
Our kisses become
More breathless
As passion builds
And intensifies
And

I am not going to say anything more.

Sound And Vision

I hear you, I see you.

A circlet of flowers
Around your head
Across your brow
A natural crown
To adorn you

A Basket Full

Unguarded moments.

A Basket Full    -   07 Sep 18

Finding

.
Things you come across when clearing up your space.



.
Finding   -    06 Sep 18

Going through some old things
Finding some forgotten memories
Trapped on scraps of paper

Some so forgotten
That the words mean nothing
To me anymore

What did I do
What was I thinking
I will never know

Disposing of the fragments
No memories remain
Except in the void



.
Curious sense of freedom but with a nagging feeling of loss.

.

Sunday 9 September 2018

Up

.
Not just a direction.



.
Up   -   05 Sep 18

Before the dawn
Can shake the trees
To wake the birds
Into flight
I listen to the song
Of the world rise up
For every being



.
Sometimes so much more than a direction.

.

First Light

I had a feeling that this poem needed to be spoken.

First Light   -   05 Sep 18

Dawn whispers
Through the trees
To wake the world
First light glimmers

Only a short poem but I feel that it has power.

Darkling

In the light, or rather the lack of light, in the afternoon memories flow back.




Darkling    -   04 Sep 18

Remembering
Afternoons where the sun
Never quite lit the day
Darkling world
Everywhen faded
Into dark



.
This happens all too often in this time of year.

Wandering Aimless

.
The sensation of being not quite anywhere.



.
Wandering Aimless    03 Sep 18

Not knowing where I am going
Nor where I should be looking
I give up and start wandering
Without a plan
Aimless in the world
Watching shadows enfold
My mind



.
Even aimless has a purpose.

Waiting to shift

Of bravery
And maidens
Hearts won

Now live and create
A new tale
For the storytellers
To recount



.
The story is in the living and the telling.

Wrapped in cloud
Carry thoughts
To distant worlds

Shapes in the sky.
