Again

.

Too much rain recently. 

. 

Again        -       27 Sep 21

Again 

Rain beats on my walls

Incessantly 

Drumbeats of watery sadness

Again 

Tales of the distant sea 

Are carried to me 

I have heard them

Too often 

. 

Hoping for a little silence somewhen soon. 

. 

My Time

.

We all deserve some me time, this belongs to me. 

. 

My Time        -        28 Sep 21

In an arbour 

I sit and rest 

After all I have done 

I feel I want to rest 

Take a bit of my time 

And see myself 

As I want to see me 

.

And when I am ready...

. 

Sharing Dreams

.

One of the best things about lying down and closing your eyes. 

. 

Sharing Dreams       -       26 Sep 21 

Eyes closed 

Holding a special thought 

She is with me again 

Sharing dreams 

As we journey 

To wonderful places 

Together 

. 

We have been to so many places this way. 

. 

Summer Gone

.

An observation of what is happening here.

. 

Summer Gone       -       25 Sep 21 

Days getting shorter 

Warmth has leaked

From the sky 

Leaving a chill grey 

Behind 

The sun is hidden again 

Summer gone 

All waiting for the return 

. 

Come back summer.

. 

Darkening

.

Rumours can do this too. 

. 

Darkening       -      24 Sep 21

A shift in thoughts 

Gives rise to unwanted things 

Imposed

Never chosen 

New darkening of the world 

Driving light back 

. 

Uncertain as to whether I read something or just imagined it. 

. 

Questioning

.

We all have this. 

. 

Questioning       -       23 Sep 21

Those little niggling thoughts

That gnaw at the mind

Teasing and questioning 

The edges of sanity 

Tempests blow them deeper

There they can grow and breed 

. 

A nightmare in "T".

. 

I Wish

.

How the mind wanders into forgotten places. 

. 

I Wish       -      22 Sep 21

It sounds like a

Postcard cliché

Weather is Lovely 

Having a good time 

I wish you were here 

I do really wish you were here

I miss you 

. 

The French say it best, TU ME MANQUE. 

. 

September Dreams

.

That time of year again.

. 

September Dreams       -       21 Sep 21 

Equinox slides past 

Leaving an open space

In my thoughts 

I fill it with dreams 

September shapes 

The coming Winter 

Fills it with

September dreams 

. 

Some of the best dreams. 

. 

Watching The World

.

Who is watching whom? 

. 

Watching The World       -      20 Sep 21 

Eyes 

In unexpected places 

Often never noticed 

Until a subtle change 

Is seen

My eyes 

Veiled until I look

Then I am seeing 

Watching the world 

Watching me 

. 

See for yourself.

. 

Fallen

.

Autumn is touching the trees. 

. 

Fallen       -      19 Sep 21 

Never feeling the wind

Any more

The leaves have 

Already fallen 

Earth will soon

Claim them 

. 

Sycamore leaves are littering the paths.

. 

Recollected Memories

.

Usually the things brought to the surface are pleasant but occasionally things are not invited. 

. 

Recollected Memories       -       18 Sep 21 

From long ago 

Memories surface 

I am not certain 

That I want to see them 

Again 

Painful damaging 

Some just embarrassing 

And a few destructive

Mixed in with the pleasant 

Recollected memories 

Not always good

. 

Trying to filter out the unwanted memories. 

. 

In Night's Shadow

.

Disturbing precursor to a nightmare.

. 

In Night's Shadow      -      17 Sep 21 

Darkness gathers 

Sickness in the sky 

As clouds extinguish stars

One at a time 

Swirling 

Black 

In night's shadow 

The mares congregate

To reap the unguarded dreams 

. 

Leave a light on. 

. 

She Smiled

.

Someone I know.

. 

She Smiled       -       16 Sep 21 

Cloud breaks 

The sun shines

Brightly

Her face 

So much more 

She smiled 

No more cloud 

. 

Warm and bright, a beautiful smile.

. 

Finding

.

What you find when you look. 

. 

Finding       -      15 Sep 21 

It has been a very long time 

But now I am finding

Who I really am 

With assistance from 

A trusted person 

Whom I could never be without 

. 

We are together. 

. 

When I Want

.

Always there with me. 

. 

When I Want       -       14 Sep 21 

In all the days 

And nights

When I want 

To see you 

You are there

With me 

. 

Never apart. 

. 

In Time

.

Probably not worth the effort. 

. 

In Time       -      13 Sep 21 

Feeling the differences 

In the world 

As the moments 

Slip by 

In time it will be possible 

To change time 

Is it worth it though 

. 

I do not think so. 

. 

Memories

.

Always remember to look at the big picture of your life.

. 

Memories      -     12 Sep 21 

At the time

They may seem 

Insignificant

Looking back 

They form a tapestry 

Of interwoven strands 

The memories which

Illustrate life

. 

The grand picture. 

. 

I Dream You

.

A dream is second best compared to reality. 

. 

I Dream You        -      11 Sep 21

Closing my eyes 

Immediately the dream begins 

You join me 

We are together 

Again and always

You and I in our dream 

I dream we 

. 

She and I are always together. 

. 

Searching

.

It is always suggested that we should look within.

. 

Searching       -       10 Sep 21 

I have watched 

So many people 

Searching 

For happiness 

Even though it only 

Comes from within

They hold the keys 

To their own futures

But still they search 

. 

Happiness comes from within.

. 

Where Do I Go

.

I know now but this was an important thing to think about. 

. 

Where Do I Go      -      09 Sep 21 

When I wish to escape 

With you 

What special routes 

Do I choose 

Is there somewhere 

We can go together

Where do I go 

To find it 

And you 

. 

When these routes are found the results are magical.

. 

Weather

.

It is also a mood-changer. 

.

Weather      -      08 Sep 21 

In the same way

Changeable 

People around me

Reflect the way 

Weather behaves

One moment 

Warm and friendly

Then a storm burns 

.

Be cautious. 

. 

Ever Hopeful

.

Calling to a Loved one. 

.

Ever Hopeful       -       07 Sep 21 

My thoughts

Always with you 

Drawing you closer

Ever hopeful that 

You can hear me

Calling your name 

In our dream

Waiting for you 

To be with me

.

One of the reasons we have dreams. 

. 

Wipe My Tears

.

A request for assistance. 

.

Wipe My Tears       -       06 Sep 21 

Wipe my tears

With your kisses 

When I feel sad

.

W today. 

. 

Stones

.

Different things have different powers. 

.

Stones      -     05 Sep 21 

Strength

Stones are an anchor 

Spirit safety

Some crystals allow freedom 

Soar with them

.

A theme of the S. 

. 

Before Dawn

.

Listening to the fading whispers. 

.

Before Dawn       -      04 Sep 21 

Waiting for the first light

The whispers from the night 

Still around

Fading slowly as the sky 

Begins to pale

Before dawn can open and 

Wake the day

.

A kind of pre-dawn chorus.

. 

Looking In Between

.

Sometimes a message can be hidden in plain sight. 

.

Looking In Between       -       03 Sep 21 

Reading between the lines

Trying to find the 

Hidden message

Looking carefully 

In between the words

To see what I am being told 

.

The message is there, I just have to see it. 

. 

Dreaming You

.

I do not even need to close my eyes. 

.

Dreaming You      -      02 Sep 21 

I never need to be asleep

Because wherever I am 

And whatever I am doing

I am always dreaming you 

.

A very pleasant distraction. 

. 

Wherever

.

Free spirit. 

.

Wherever      -     01 Sep 21 

I am a wanderer

Free-rooted 

Never bound to one place

Wherever I find myself 

I am home

.

I am not a wanderer but I travel in my mind. 

. 

I Want To Be

.

Just a thought about the one special person. 

.

I Want To Be      -      31 Aug 21 

Wherever you are

In your arms 

Feeling your warmth

I am not asking much

A simple request 

Because I Love you

.

Just the thought makes me happy. 

.
