All Things

.

Another small poem which could be considered to be a modern Haiku. 

. 

All Things    -     23 Apr 20 

I have always waited in the dark 

Seen all things before the light 

Reaches into them 

. 

What do you think? 

. 

Times [Acrostic]

I Love playing with words.

. 

Times [Acrostic]     -     22 Apr 20

Tomorrow becomes entangled with 

Infinity, shaping future 

Memories and burning 

Eternal unwanted 

Shapeless daemons 

. 

Burning the daemons. 

. 

Another Time

.

Dark across the world in strange times. 

. 

Another Time     -    21 Apr 20 

Siren song in the darkness 

Of a tired withered dream 

Impatient waves 

Crush the will of 

Another time 

As a black flag 

Flutters forlornly 

At half mast 

Taunting the night 

Starless 

Praying for the dawn 

. 

Maybe this will strike a chord in your thoughts. 

. 

Touching Tomorrows

.

Hunting for all the ways to see the new. 

. 

Touching Tomorrows     -     20 Apr 20 

Looking forward through 

The insubstantial veil 

Reaching out and 

Touching tomorrows 

To find the images 

At the back of my mind 

In the quiet shadows 

Where tomorrow waits 

Before birth 

. 

The secrets of tomorrow can be found when they are looked for in the mists. 

. 

She Is

.

What my special one can do. 

. 

She Is     -    19 Apr 20 

In every day and way 

She is the one 

Who brings me 

The magic to make 

My world shine, 

Lift my Heart, 

Carry me through 

The world 

. 

Lifting me always. 

. 

Old Times

.

Bits of my life. 

. 

Old Times     -     18 Apr 20 

Once 

In years long past 

I recall being with 

Some friends 

Who offered nothing 

But friendship 

Out of the old times 

Into the new 

I am with one friend 

Who offers everything 

More than friendship 

Gives Love 

Without condition 

. 

Yes, she is that one special person. 

. 

Hands

My one special person is quite active. 

. 

Hands     -     17 Apr 20 

Silken hands 

Stroke Love 

Throughout me 

Strengthen ties 

Build Love's 

Beautiful bonds 

To hold me 

Gently 

Against you 

. 

Lovely ties. 

. 

Heart Song

.

A modern Haiku for your pleasure today. 

. 

Heart Song    -    16 Apr 20 

Because of you 

The song of my Heart 

Can be heard again 

. 

Written for my one special person. 

. 

Uncovered Treasure

.

How effective a little bit of TLC can be. 

. 

Uncovered Treasure      -     15 Apr 20 

Buried for too long 

Layers of dust cover 

Once gleaming things 

Nearly forgotten 

Until a gentle hand 

Carefully cleared 

The dust 

And now 

Love 

The uncovered treasure 

Can shine again 

. 

Love is always there, it just needs to be uncovered. 

. 

Holding The Place

.

A little message from "them upstairs", the guides who advise. 

. 

Holding The Place     -    14 Apr 20 

There have been many times 

When events 

Have changed a personal 

Reality 

We are asked 

To reach out and remain 

Holding the place 

. 

Something I received and I feel that it is for everyone. 

. 

Remember

.

Something rising out of the past. 

. 

Remember     -     13 Apr 20 

I knew you 

Years ago 

I still recall 

The words spoken 

I remember 

Fragments 

Of those days 

They can never 

Return except as 

Ghosts 

Time has moved on 

But the ghosts 

Remain 

. 

Sometimes they are only part remembered but they still remain. 

. 

Unknown Coast

.

The early days of exploration when "here be Dragons" still filled the maps. 

. 

Unknown Coast      -     12 Apr 20 

Rocks upon the shore 

Waves do not shake them 

Here the ship waits 

For the explorers 

To return from the 

Unknown 

To the coast 

To tell of what 

Lies within 

. 

Dragons are, of course, still present. 

. 

Dawn Tide

.

A journey into somewhere. 

. 

Dawn Tide    -    11 Apr 20 

Sun riding the waves

Dawn tide governed by the Moon 

Come let us travel 

. 

We do not know where we are going but let us go anyway. 

. 

Tasting Paradise

.

The one special person is delicious. 

. 

Tasting Paradise    -    10 Apr 20 

One touch of you 

Allows me to experience 

A beautiful thing 

I realise that I am 

Tasting paradise 

When I taste you 

. 

Really delicious. 

. 

I Have Seen

.

A suggestion to bring happiness to all. 

. 

I Have Seen     -     09 Apr 20 

Be gentle 

The world can be harsh 

In the least expected 

Moments 

Even when the 

Rest of the time 

Gentle rules 

I have seen 

Where the world 

Can lead 

Outside in 

And in 

. 

The closing lines seem to imply that the poem is incomplete but... 

. 

Addiction

.

How we feel. 

. 

Addiction     -    08 Apr 20 

You showed me 

A new side 

Of you 

One which fed 

A secret addiction 

And opened 

More of me 

To you 

. 

I am always open to an addiction of this kind. 

. 

After All

.

Were you listening? 

. 

After All     -     07 Apr 20 

In the subtle 

Evening moments 

When day 

Turns to dream 

Waking up 

Is difficult 

Once again 

After all the 

Shapeless things 

Have spoken 

. 

Sometimes it is difficult to hear. 

. 

Game

.

A return, after too long, to my Chess Game sequence of various works. 

. 

Game     -     06 Apr 20 

Playing 

Move by move 

Across the game squares 

Feeling the board 

Shift with the players 

The game is never over 

Until the Queen 

Mates the King 

In her Castle 

While the Knights 

Look on and 

The Bishops bless 

The day 

. 

Sometimes it is difficult to tell which side the pieces are on. 

. 

In Darkness

.

The voice can be heard quite clearly. 

. 

In Darkness     -    05 Apr 20 

Moon smiles again 

In darkness 

Can you understand 

Her song in the dream 

She sings every night 

There is no choir 

Just a single voice 

Carries the song 

To the wind 

To share with the stars 

. 

Are you listening? 

. 

Meaning

.

Another of the questions which may not have an answer. 

. 

Meaning     -    04 Apr 20 

In an abyss 

Looking deeper 

Wondering if 

There is any meaning 

To what we are 

. 

Contemplating possible answers. 

. 

Questing

.

Inspired, in part, by The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

. 

Questing    -    03 Apr 20 

A long ride 

Many years ago 

On a search for an answer 

Questing takes so long 

When the question 

Is not fully understood 

I am still seeking 

. 

I have not found the answer yet but I am fairly certain that it is not 42.

. 

Walk Together

How the one special person and I are together. 

. 

Walk Together     -    02 Apr 20 

Through the infinities 

Of all there is 

In our minds 

We walk together 

And watch 

As we blend 

With all the eternities 

Everywhere and 

Nowhere 

Simultaneously 

We are together 

. 

Walking through the everness. 

. 

Evening Thoughts

.

That soft sweet time of day. 

. 

Evening Thoughts    - 01 Apr 20 

Soft darkness gathers 

Across the day 

Welcoming a beautiful 

Evening 

Thoughts grow and blossom 

Bringing gentle happiness 

. 

A Lovely time of day. 

. 

Little Dark

.

A place of transition. 

. 

Little Dark    -    31 Mar 20 

A moment of thought 

Shifts the mind 

From the place 

Where awareness falters 

Behind the little dark 

Welcoming the little sun 

Back into the world 

. 

Illumination, is welcome. 

. 

Ours

.

Love letters again. 

. 

Ours    -    30 Mar 20 

A hidden letter 

Secret sound transforms 

Time into ours 

We gather letters 

To write 

The Love letters 

For we to read 

In secret 

. 

The best Love letters are always read in secret. 

. 

Heart

.

A plea. 

. 

Heart     -    29 Mar 20 

Don't drop my Heart 

It is a fragile thing 

It will not survive 

Just hold it gently 

Care for it 

Whisper soft words 

Of Love 

And keep it safe 

. 

The special person already cares for my Heart. 

. 

Whispers In The Dark

.

Sometimes the sounds are not bumps in the night but are whispers telling things. 

. 

Whispers In The Night    -    28 Mar 20 

Hearing soft sweet sounds 

In the silent space 

In the dark dream filled 

Whispers 

Night holds secrets 

It sometimes shares 

. 

Listen to the whispers. 

. 

I And Eye

.

Seeing wherever. 

. 

I And Eye    -    27 Mar 20 

Watching carefully 

Seeing the moment 

When I take on 

The form of 

The wandering eye 

Travelling over 

A tired land 

Wishing to wake 

. 

Is it a dream or can I see? 

. 

Little Things [Haiku]

.

A little nighttime Haiku. 

. 

Little Things [Haiku]    -    26 Mar 20

Little things whispered 

In the quiet of the night 

Louder than a shout 

. 

Sometimes whispers can be very loud. 

.
