.
A little poem for that one special person.
.
Candle - 22 Apr 19
In the night I burn
To show you the way
To protect you
I am your candle
I will be waiting
For you in the dawn
.
Giving you light.
.
.
Another somewhat dark poem.
.
Mirror Of The Night - 21 Apr 19
The mirror of the night
Hanging on a wall
Reflecting the darkness
Of a hidden room
In the uncleaned face
It shows to those who dare
To look upon the nightmare
Held in the shadowed glass
.
The dark is often more evocative.
.
.
Speculation on observations.
.
In Corners - 20 Apr 19
Wondering where the world
Is taking me on the way
To avoid the unexpected
Images which hide
In corners of our sleeping
Dreams
Just waiting for the moment
When corners invert
To release the images
Into the world
Wondering where
The world will be then
.
A potentially dark image.
.
.
Places in the dream.
.
Shards Of Night - 19 Apr 19
Dawn breaks the spell
Of the dream
Shapes the moments
Into memories
To scatter them across
The dreamscape
Reflected in the shards
Of a fading night
Gather the pieces
If you can
To reassemble the image
.
It is often a struggle to put the images back together.
.
.
An exploration into understanding.
.
Dark Songs - 18 Apr 19
Words
Flow from the mystery
Enshrined in the shadows
Dark songs carry me
Through the forever dream
As I try to understand
.
In the forever, I approach the truth.
.
.
Confusion in understanding what is.
.
Tomorrow And Yesterday - 17 Apr 19
Chasing tomorrow
Into the cold light of
A maybe dawn
And if the sun may
Shine to light the day
Black night still haunts
The memories
Held in the dark dreams
There is no escape
Running away from yesterday
Is not an answer
.
Another of the dark themed songs.
.
.
A rather introspective piece today.
.
Islands - 15 Apr 19
Drifting worlds
Surrounded by a
Reflection of the unknowable
Shimmering islands
Break the flow of reality
Into unimaginable pieces
Each inhabited by
The shells of broken dreams
.
A slightly sad feeling today.
.
.
So many flavours to experience.
.
Taste Sensations - 14 Apr 19
Bitter
Missed opportunities
Impossible to recover
Salt
Ocean calls
To return
Sweet
The dreams of futures
Still waiting
Taste sensations
Want to be
Explored
.
So many other flavours still waiting.
.
.
Somewhere to explore.
.
Being - 13 Apr 19
In the shape of awareness
There is an opening
From one state of being
Into another
In a parallel place
Where dreams
Imagine us
Watch for the shifts
.
Look for the openings.
.
.
Just a thought with a "W" theme.
.
Dark Temptress - 12 Apr 19
Watching and planning
Wicked games to gather
Whomever comes
Within her grasp
When her name is known
We shall all fall
With the Dark Temptress
World taker
.
There have been quite a few "Dark Themes" recently. There are probably more to come.
.
.
Observed and observing the observers.
.
Taken By Night - 11 Apr 19
Night watched all and waited
Hiding in corners for the unwary
To wander past
In dream
Thence to be taken
Into a different world
To wait and watch
For the next unwary wanderer
.
Keep looking.
.
On one day of the year thoughts reach out to feel.
.
Wishes - 10 Apr 19
Dreaming while awake
Feeling presences
Around me touching me
Each carries
The wishes of all the years
From every birthday
Spoken in the silence
Between moments
Of reflection
.
Thinking back to all those days.
.
.
I have heard and felt these places.
.
On The Edge - 09 Apr 19
The tide of dreams
Washed the rocks
As I stood watching
On the edge of the
Restless sea
Ever moving
Watery breathing
Heartbeats heard
Between the boulders
Beneath the cliffs
Sighing winds
The gulls watch
And wonder
.
Have you stood and listened?
.
.
Written for the one special person with a few amendments from her.
.
Fly - 16 Apr 19
The words I speak
Whispered in the night
Come from my Heart
Fly to you
Across the Five Thousand Miles
To rest in your Heart
There to live forever
.
I Love our collaboration.
.
.
Observations and feelings about weather secrets.
.
Winds - 08 Apr 19
Sigh in my ears
A phantom breeze
Whispers to me
Between the hours
When the winds
Speak loudest
And try to drown
The quiet voices
The breeze tells me
Her secrets of the places
She has been
What she has seen
How to get there
.
Valuable secrets indeed.
.
.
Remembering a warm summer night, not too long ago.
.
Kissed By The Moon - 07 Apr 19
As I slept
She crept into my room
Brushed the curtains aside
With a warm breeze
She gazed at my sleeping form
And smiled
Laid her hands upon me
I was kissed by the Moon
In the night
.
A Lovely experience.
.
.
A statement of fact and every line begins with I. Because it is part of my exploration.
.
Love Is All - 06 Apr 19
In the time when I thought
I knew everything there was
I did not consider that
I was missing something
I now realise that
I was not looking
I have seen
I know Love is all there is
.
Just look and you will see.
.
.
Soft and sweet and always welcome.
.
Honey Kisses - 05 Apr 19
Mellow warm
Sweet scented touch
Lips speak the words
I longed to hear
Wrapped in honey kisses
.
I taste them even now.
.
.
A challenge but ultimately satisfying.
.
Acapella [Acrostic] - 04 Apr 19
Antiphonal phrases
Cadence voiced in an ancient tongue
Against a backdrop of whispers
Played in the mummers songs
Elemental essence electrifying
Latent dreams awakening
Leaving tired dreamers lying
Alone in the morning myst
.
Quite satisfying.
.
.
This poem was actually birthed a while ago but was only completed a few days back.
.
Brightest - 03 Apr 19
In the lights of night
Star lanterns
Brighten the dark
In the light of day
Sun shines and makes
Vision clear
You shine brightest
More illuminating
Than everything
My beautiful light
Beautiful you
Makes my life beautiful
.
Another poem for the special person.
.
.
A forever wish for a special person.
.
Forever - 02 Apr 19
One wish carried
Into eternity
To be shared
With a special person
We will be together
Forever
.
The eternal special person.
.
.
Another strange land, related in certain ways to Neverwhere from the last poem.
Explore at your own risk.
.
Where In Time - 01 Apr 19
Cast forth
To wander forever
Ties to specific places
Lost in the undertime
Where dreams inhabit
A dark world
I wonder
Where in time
I am and where I go
Looking for the way out
.
Can you find the way out?
.
.
Real or imagined, maybe both at the same time. Let us walk there together.
.
The Road To Neverwhere - 31 Mar 19
Starting on the way
One step after another
The road stretching out
Ahead of me
Aware of the destination
In an indeterminate future
I walk to Neverwhere
.
Going to explore.
.
.
The essence of the special person fills me.
.
Tasting You - 30 Mar 19
Memories of you
Fill my thoughts
Carry the flavours
Of our times together
I can always recall
The intense essence
Tasting you again
.
These flavours are special to me.
.
.
Written in response to unexplained events which happened to me.
.
Shifts Of Balance - 29 Mar 19
Unexpected
Momentary aberrations
A change in awareness
Concentration wanders
Then shifts of balance
Take over and present
A different viewpoint
.
Fascinating how new viewpoints can present themselves to us.
.
.
A special mystical feel to the poem today.
.
Seven - 28 Mar 19
The gates are opened
Maidens of the Secret Night
Invite
Seven are the ways
To progress into the world
Of stars or dust
One alone is the path
Into the place where
Reality fades to show
Eternity
.
Be prepared to set out on the path.
.
.
A shift in the way things are perceived.
.
Altered - 27 Mar 19
The states of existence
Have shifted in ways
Which define the boundaries
Reshaping the now
Altered the form
Of perception
.
These shifts are happening all the time.
.
A long time since I posted an acrostic.
.
Tactile [Acrostic] - 26 Mar 19
Touching random textures
Across the space between
Contact and absence
The pleasure of the shape
In unexpected forms
Leaves a pleasing memory
Endlessly teasing the mind
.
Sometimes the acrostic form can be a challenge.
.
.
The title says it all I think.
.
Expectations - 25 Mar 19
Through an unexpected land
I walk
Looking at the hints
Of things which may happen
My expectations are often raised
To improbable heights
I always expect the best
Of everything
.
The heights may be improbable but never impossible.
.
.
Travelling further.
.
Gossamer Sails - 24 Mar 19
With sails of gossamer
I drift
Carrying the image
Of you
In my thoughts
.
Always carrying the image.
