Wishing

.
Looking for an answer. 




.
Wishing       -      25 Mar 21 

The dandelion clock
Can give an answer 
To a secret question

When will I be with
My beloved 
Wishing it will be soon

Do I have to wait
For long or 
Will it be tomorrow



.
Waiting, patiently.

World Of Night

.
This is what I see sometimes.




.
World Of Night      -       24 Mar 21

Blackness
Impenetrable
Across
World
Of
Night
Shadows
Are
Everything




.
Light is wanted.

After The Storm

Remembering one day a long time ago.




.
After The Storm      -     23 Mar 21

Thunder still danced
Across the sky
Echoed from horizon
To moor top
As the clouds began to
Recede
After the storm
Lasting all night
Finally accepted a draw



.
When we have a plasma storm here, it is usually spectacular.

Which Dreams

.
They all want to talk to me and tell me things.




.
Which Dreams       -     22 Mar 21

The dreams
Gathering around me
Have told me
Of the secrets

Which dreams carry
The deepest secrets
They want me to
Discover for myself




.
I shall have to go exploring.

Through My Eyes

.
A slightly surreal offering today.




.
Through My Eyes      -      21 Mar 21

Darkness shines
In unexpected places
Bringing dreams to life
While dragging them
Across the sands of
Unknown deserts
Through my eyes
The sun turns to blood
And stains the sand
To match the sky
An indrawn breath
Shapes the dark




.
A place I have seen in my dreams.

Those Things

.
Watching reality ripple.




.
Those Things      -     20 Mar 21

Watching little changes
Making big ripples
In the lake of reality
Submerged in the depths
Shimmering in refracted light
Those things take on new forms
Move by themselves
Across the sands




.
Another shift in reality.

When Stars

.
Day runs differently for me.




.
When Stars     -    19 Mar 21

As the sky welcomes night
Into open arms
When stars begin to shine
Day is complete
And I wake



.
No I am not a vampire.

Wednesday 24 March 2021

Guardian

.
Often the disguise is total.



.
Guardian      -     18 Mar 21

A pillar of stone
Stands mute
Before the entrance
To the cave
An underworld
Awaits

Guardian of the hidden
Always ready
To protect or guide




.
All that needs to be done is ask.

Monday 22 March 2021

Tree

.
A sad tale.




.
Tree     -     17 Mar 21

Flags flying
Across the fields
Battle foments too much
Sadness

A solitary tree
Bows its head in sorrow
It has seen too much loss
In the time standing here
Wants to see
No more




.
Nobody wants to see more sorrow.

Delight

.
Afternoon delight was a song from quite a while ago, it fits well with the feelings behind this poem.




.
Delight      -     16 Mar 21

In an afternoon
Dreaming
The delight of knowing
That I am not dreaming
Alone
Dreaming together
Not just in an afternoon




.
Happy thoughts.

Sailing On A Dream

.
Taken back to a distant time.



.
Sailing On A Dream      -     15 Mar 21

Tasting the salt air
Listening to the gulls
Shrill calls and watching
The ocean gentle swell
The dream takes me
Sailing to you
I sleep on




.
A dream I am happy to return to often.

Dawn Light

.
A mix of light and mist.




.
Dawn Light      -      14 Mar 21

Darkness slides under trees
Hiding from the coming day
The first feint trails
Begin to tint the sky
From the East
As dawn light
Shimmers
Across the lake
Driving the mist before it



.
A touch of magic as the day begins.

Eyes On The Mountain

.
Ever get the feeling that you are being watched?




.
Eyes On The Mountain      -     13 Mar 21

Looking into the grey distance
The great shape seems to be 
Watching me
It feels that there are
Eyes on the mountain
Always watching




.
Not paranoid, I am being watched.

Waiting

Sooner or later the change will happen.




.
Waiting      -     12 Mar 21

Hoping for something
A shift in reality
To make a difference
Waiting is all
Just for the change
Still I lie here
Waiting




.
Eventually...

Whispers

.
Those Lovely warm summer days.




.
Whispers      -    11 Mar 21

The little voices tell sweet tales
In whispers spoken
Stories of gentle Love
In the warmth of afternoon
When only the song of bees
Wandering through clover
Is louder




.
A Lovely experience.

Monday 15 March 2021

The Maybe World

.
A puzzle which taxes my mind.




.
The Maybe World      - 10 Mar 21

Often things are not
What they really seem
The world shows a face
Which is unreal
It might be
Only maybe
What is real and
Where we are
Is the fiction
How do we tell
Which is real
And which is
The maybe world




.
Does anybody really know.

Connecting

.
Sometimes I feel that I have lost my way a bit.




.
Connecting      -     09 Mar 21

Through moments
Of darkness
I am connecting
With your light
Showing me the way
To your Heart




.
I find it again quickly.

Once In My Heart

.
A little poem for someone who is always in my Heart.




.
Once In My Heart       -      08 Mar 21

Over all the years
The Love I feel
For you
Has grown beyond
Initial levels into
Something special
Once in my Heart
You are there forever




.
The special person is so very special.

Watching

.
A question I ask when looking into the eyes of something.




.
Watching      -     07 Mar 21

Seeing the eyes
Lit by an internal light
In all times
Watching me
What do they see
That I cannot



.
Looking at me again.

Friday 12 March 2021

Time Dances

.
Metronome or a walking pace.




.
Time Dances     -     06 Mar 21

Tap, tap, tap,
A clock
Or shoes on a stone floor
Both
When time dances
To mark where you have been
And where you might go
In your dance
Across time




.
Use each step with clear thought.

Dark Wood

.
Some places should never be visited. 




Dark Wood       -     05 Mar 21 

Myths told tales 
Of forbidden places
Forgotten for many years 
Whispered stories 
Spoken in curtained rooms 
Still outlined the saga
Of the Dark Wood and 
Why it should never be entered 
There were always fools 
Who would never listen 
So would be unable to learn 
The Dark Wood has 
Claimed them 



Never dismiss the stories.

Comes The Night

.
The things that wait are not just in darkness. 




Comes The Night       -     04 Mar 21 

In the moment 
When least expected 
Light turns to dark 
The call goes out 
Beware now 
Comes the night 
Guard yourselves 
In the darkness 
Things await 




Sometimes in full light things are waiting. 

After Dawn

.
Too often recently it has been this way. 




After Dawn       -      03 Mar 21 

Waiting for the Sun 
To show his face 
Long night 
Starless 
Looking for our star 
Still waiting after dawn 
The clouds are brighter 
Still waiting 
For the Sun 




Sometimes even the clouds do not get much brighter. 

Sunday 7 March 2021

Summer Now

.
A request, perhaps a demand. 




Summer Now      -      02 Mar 21

A mental demand 
Tired of being cold 
Want the warmth 
Of summer now 




Want to be able to open the window to get some fresh air into my room. 

Saturday 6 March 2021

She Rises

.
A reimagining of the Venus story. 



She Rises      -      01 Mar 21 

In the foam of an active sea 
A speck of beauty 
Shines 
The waves part willingly 
As the figure emerges 
She rises 
To claim the air 
As well as the water 
Soon earth and fire 
Will be hers as well 




Beauty overcomes all.

Taking Your Hand

.
It is impossible to resist an invitation to journey. 




Taking Your Hand       -      28 Feb 21 

The invitation 
Was irresistible when 
The offer was made 
I can lead you 
Take you to places 
You only dreamed about 
Taking your hand 
I followed 
We travelled 




New worlds to visit.

When Darkness Falls

.
I always listen for the song. 




When Darkness Falls       -       27 Feb 21 

The day goes 
I wait for changes 
When darkness falls 
The world wakes 
Song of the evening 
Takes over from 
The scream of the day 
Peace fills the world 
Again 




A soothing song. 

Wednesday 3 March 2021

Wings

.
I know her. 




Wings       -      26 Feb 21 

She soared 
Lighter than a feather 
From the wings 
Of an angel 
She spoke 
With a voice of beauty 
She touched 
Deep within me and 
I was hers 
Forever 




She is everyone. 

Tuesday 2 March 2021

Kisses Filled

.
Just this about the one special person. 




Kisses Filled       -      25 Feb 21 

Days loaded with promise 
She gave me 
Kisses filled with Love 




Nothing more needs to be said. 

Opening

.
There are many of these everywhere. 




Opening       -      24 Feb 21 

Places where reality 
Is very thin 
An opening allows 
Something different 
To slip through 
And fill the spaces 
With itself 




These openings work in both directions.
