After [Acrostic]

.

Playing with words is so much fun. 

. 

After [Acrostic]       -      24 Oct 20

All the morning moments 

Fade into a blur wrapping the world 

Tenderly into an endless dream 

Entangling all the strands 

Reality rewoven to something new 

. 

I am enjoying myself. 

. 

Different Sights

.

Watching always. 

. 

Different Sights      -      23 Oct 20 

Keeping watch from my chair 

So many things I can see 

Most are expected but some 

Can cause surprise and puzzlement 

Many things in the different sights 

Laying a trail to Elsewhen 

. 

Never know what I will see. 

. 

Breathing You

.

So easy to get distracted. 

. 

Breathing You     -     22 Oct 20 

The feeling of a wandering hand 

Distracts the ear 

From full attention 

Breathing you completes 

The distraction and 

I am lost 

In you 

. 

My favourite. 

. 

Taking A Kiss

.

Not stealing. 

. 

Taking A Kiss      -     21 Oct 20 

Sneaking 

Advantage gained 

Unexpected 

Surprise 

Taking a kiss 

From willing lips 

. 

Definitely not stealing. 

. 

Night Vow

.

Said for someone really special. 

. 

Night Vow     -     20 Oct 20 

A voice heard as if in dream 

Just a few simple words 

Spoken deep within 

Only for one person 

This in the night 

I vow to you 

I will always be here for you 

. 

This can only be said to one person. 

. 

Dark Tide

.

I have seen this. 

. 

Dark Tide      -      19 Oct 20 

Stars washed 

In a sea of darkness 

Night claims the tide 

In the formless waves 

Nestling in the dark 

Beneath the phantom cliffs 

. 

All around is darkness. 

. 

Between Thoughts

.

So easy to be held in this way. 

. 

Between Thoughts      -     18 Oct 20 

Never certain which way 

My mind is looking 

I feel I am trapped 

Between thoughts 

. 

An empty space asking to be filled. 

. 

Muse

.

This is what she did. 

. 

Muse      -      17 Oct 20

You looked at my words 

Knew what I wanted to say 

Added a little mental shine 

And handed them back to me 

You are my Lovely Muse 

You can see into me 

And show me 

Me 

. 

For my one special person who is also my Muse. 

Cold Hands

.

Working on the old phrase. 

.

Cold Hands      -     16 Oct 20 

You said, 

I felt the Love 

From your Heart

Flowing through me 

But you are a living 

Example of the adage 

I shiver when you 

Touch my skin 

Cold hands warm Heart 

. 

I guess my Heart must be glowing. 

. 

Even This

.

My thoughts on a truism. 

. 

Even This      -     15 Oct 20 

In the tides of change 

To expect things 

To remain unaltered 

Is a false hope 

There is only one 

Consistent thing 

That even this 

Must change 

. 

Change is inevitable. 

. 

Flowers

.

A modern Haiku for your delectation today. 

. 

Flowers      -      14 Oct 20 

On a wall 

The last gift of Summer 

Flowers watching 

. 

Seeing them in quite a few places. 

. 

Dreams In Dreams

.

This happened a few days ago. 

. 

Dreams In Dreams      -     13 Oct 20 

I was talking 

Scene shift 

I woke 

Into a dream 

Listened to some music 

But it woke me 

Having a conversation 

Shifting scenes 

When am I asleep 

Or waking 

. 

The waking dreams can be confusing. 

. 

Ever Held

.

A modern Haiku, Love song. 

. 

Ever Held      -      12 Oct 20 

Eternallly in my arms 

I have held you 

Ever held 

. 

This is where she is always. 

. 

Wind

.

An exercise in the letter "N". 

. 

Wind      -     11 Oct 20 

Now sighing 

Now shaking the window 

Never permitting the quiet 

No peace from the 

North wind 

. 

The letter format was not anticipated, it just grew. 

. 

Thinking Of You

. 

Not just in the evenings. 

. 

Thinking Of You     -     10 Oct 20 

In moments 

When the evening 

Closes gently around me 

My mind turns to you 

To relive the wonderful times 

To consider the times to come 

Thinking of you 

Is a Lovely place 

I am always there 

. 

Always. 

. 

Wind Shake

.

Shaping like the wind. 

. 

Wind Shake       -     09 Oct 20 

Shifting 

Invisible movement 

Except for the trees 

They shake in the wind 

Reshaping the world form 

In tiny ways 

Subtle touches 

Waving 

. 

Felt and heard rather than seen. 

. 

Distant Dreams

.

On the shore, dreams seem so far away. 

. 

Distant Dreams      -      08 Oct 20 

The darkness wrapped me 

Put my dreams 

Into an old seashell 

I put the shell to my ear 

To try and catch the words 

In the distant waves 

All I heard was the whisper 

Of the Moon as she told 

The tales which dwelt there 

But my dreams 

Were silent 

Again 

. 

Have you tried to listen to your dreams? 

. 

Multiverse Waiting

.

Just a thought... 

. 

Multiverse Waiting      -     07 Oct 20 

Too small they think 

Who only consider the Universe 

When there is so much more 

The Multiverse is waiting 

. 

Travel across the Everywhen. 

. 

And You

A Love song and a statement about the one special person.

. 

And You      -     06 Oct 20 

Places waiting 

Ideas formulating 

Growing in my mind 

And you 

Are always here 

With me 

To experience them all 

With me 

. 

Beautiful company. 

. 

Difference

.

Comparing times 

. 

Difference      -     05 Oct 20 

Remembering summer 

A hazy drift of images 

Falling through my mind 

Giving pleasure 

As they pass 

What a difference 

In the now 

Of the frozen form 

In the chill 

Of autumn 

. 

It is so different. 

. 

Cold Day

.

Happening rather a lot recently. 

. 

Cold Day      -     04 Oct 20 

On a day 

Feeling 

Experiencing emotions 

Flowing 

Wondering where 

The warmth from 

The sun went 

Cloud 

Makes the day cold 

Again 

. 

There is still more to come. 

. 

Lakeside

Quiet times held in memories.

. 

Lakeside     -    03 Oct 20 

Remembering an age 

When times were much slower 

And tides happened elsewhere 

Even though the Moon 

Danced here as well 

She kept the waters 

Of the lakeside calm 

. 

Remembering those times. 

. 

Open World

.

One of those nights when the dreams are dark too. 

. 

Open World      -     02 Oct 20 

I have been there 

On a dark night 

In sunless dreams 

Held in the morning 

Of an open world 

Still bound by the darkness 

Of the night 

. 

The world is a fantasy. 

. 

Unknown

.

From somewhen else perhaps. 

. 

Unknown      -     01 Oct 20 

Watched by eyes I have never seen 

Heard voices which could never exist 

I am taunted by the unknown 

The ones who are there 

But not present 

. 

Lurking in unexpected places. 

. 

Private Moments

Always a good fun thing to have.

. 

Private Moments     -     30 Sep 20 

To share a kiss 

And maybe more... 

Definitely more 

Requires time 

In private moments 

When a little 

Passion 

Can be allowed 

Freedom to explore 

. 

Private moments are vital. 

. 

Evening Fires

.

Those Lovely times, sitting by the hearth gazing into the flickering light. 

. 

Evening Fires      -     29 Sep 20 

Watching the spirits 

Chase around the logs 

Hearing them speak 

To the wood 

Give thanks to the tree 

Which gave a branch 

To feed the evening fires 

. 

Calm, restful time. 

. 

Quiet Evening

Rain is not constant but it feels that way.

. 

Quiet Evening      -     28 Sep 20 

The day had been noisy 

Constant rain upon the roof 

Sunset was announced 

Cloud obscured 

Dark became darker 

Evening beside the fire 

Closed the noise 

Became quiet 

World at rest 

. 

Feeling cold because of the sound of rain on the window. 

. 

Rain Whispers

. A very short poem, a modern Haiku.

. 

Rain Whispers      -     27 Sep 20 

Clearly heard above the wind 

The whispers of the 

Falling rain 

. 

In the rain, I. 

. 

Tempting

.

Those fun, wicked invitations. 

. 

Tempting      -     25 Sep 20 

Words shaped by a smooth 

Moist tongue 

Twisting 

In the mouth 

Dancing in sinuous 

Movements 

Tempting 

Inviting 

Seducing 

. 

These spells are powerful. 

. 

Listening

.

Be aware of the sounds which are always present. 

. 

Listening      -     24 Sep 20 

The whispers 

Late in the day 

Inspire the secret 

Armies 

Listening to the 

Words we speak 

So quietly 

Not knowing 

We are being heard 

The insect sounds 

Are quiet 

Listening to us 

. 

Usually they cannot be heard through lack of attention. 

. 

Secret Desire

.

No words may be spoken. 

. 

Secret Desire     -     23 Sep 20 

Never told 

Nobody knows 

Nothing said 

Desire would not be 

A secret if words 

Were allowed 

To escape 

Quietly now 

Hush 

Whisper not 

. 

Let it be just between us. 

.
