Tasting

.

Only stopping to taste the moment. 

. 

Tasting        -       30 Dec 22

I am 

Wherever 

Touching infinity 

Travelling through 

Feeling the waves 

Of everything 

Tasting 

I go 

. 

So much to see and taste. 

. 

Forever Tonight

.

Another thought on the special one. 

. 

Forever Tonight       -       29 Dec 22 

Tonight is forever 

When Love flows 

Passion tide keeps rising 

The world fades away 

Leaving only we 

. 

Nothing else matters. 

. 

Hers Forever

.

How the one special person took me. 

. 

Hers Forever          -       28 Dec 22 

She reached out 

Touched me 

Took my hand 

Took me 

I became 

Hers forever 

. 

Happy in that forever. 

. 

Time [Acrostic]

.

Finding the space everywhen. 

. 

Time [Acrostic]        -        27 Dec 22

Transmitting across space and 

Infinite time in the 

Multiverse 

Eternal thoughts of we 

. 

Time is always right, do it. 

. 

Patience

.

An eternity seems to pass while waiting. 

. 

Patience       -       26 Dec 22 

Waiting for something 

To happen 

Time passes and nothing 

Seems to change 

Seconds pass 

Minutes pass 

Testing my patience 

Then 

A shift 

The awaited change 

Happens 

. 

I won, I did not lose my cool. 

. 

Sea Of Dream

.

Weaving the best ones. 

. 

Sea Of Dream        -         25 Dec 22 

Floating in a sea of dream 

Ideas drift around me 

Choosing a few 

I wake to weave them 

Into my reality 

. 

How reality can be expanded. 

. 

Uncertainty

.

A state I often find myself puzzling within. 

. 

Uncertainty       -      24 Dec 22 

Uncertainty 

Where am I 

Where am I going 

Never knowing 

Where the world 

Is taking me 

Or where it is 

. 

Never certain. 

. 

Whisper

.

Always listening. 

. 

Whisper      -       23 Dec 22 

I remember listening 

To the whisper 

Of the sand 

As I walked along the beach 

I remember listening 

To the whisper 

Of the Moon 

As I dreamed in the night 

I remember listening 

To the whisper 

Of the Sun 

As he woke me gently 

. 

The whispers are always with me. 

. 

Hush

.

Surround yourself with quiet. 

. 

Hush      -      22 Dec 22 

A moment to be quiet 

The air is still 

Waiting in the hush 

For the secret words 

Which will open 

The minds of the world 

In the quiet 

I wait and listen 

. 

The words are a pleasant surprise. 

. 

Time Between

.

There is always a between state. 

. 

Time Between        -       21 Dec 22 

In the infinite time 

Between thoughts 

I wander and watch 

As the colours change 

And grow into 

Something different 

Then I see me there 

Watching me 

. 

Take the opportunity to observe yourself. 

. 

Earth Talk

.

Thought of an earthquake triggered this poem. 

. 

Earth Talk        -       20 Dec 22 

Earth talk 

Listen 

You are being told 

Something important 

Ignore it if you dare 

Your choice 

Do not blame others 

. 

Pay attention to the signs. 

. 

Capricious

.

Stories can be fun. 

. 

Capricious        -         19 Dec 22 

Listen to the rain 

His capricious games 

Give rise to some 

Intriguing stories 

Some of which 

Can be believed 

. 

Do not believe everything you hear. 

. 

Conversation

.

Looks like I am talking to myself but I know night is there listening. 

. 

Conversation      -       18 Dec 22 

Conversation with the night 

Darkness wraps us 

As we talk 

And discuss 

The ice 

Again 

. 

Always something new to talk about. 

. 

Ghost Of Summer

.

Sometimes I hear the music of Frost. 

. 

Ghost Of Summer       -       17 Dec 22 

Outside Jack Frost dances 

In the grass with the 

Ghost of Summer 

In the house 

Our lips dance together to 

The song of Love in our Hearts 

. 

I know where I would rather be. 

. 

Quiet

.

Peaceful way to be. 

. 

Quiet        -         16 Dec 22 

On my own 

I sit in the quiet 

Of midnight 

Waiting 

. 

Being alone is not lonely. 

. 

Kiss Of Frost

.

I can hear the frost crackling. 

. 

Kiss Of Frost        -        15 Dec 22 

Slow time 

Afternoon drift 

Carries the dream 

Into the evening 

The day curls up 

To stay warm 

As the kiss of frost 

Decorates the trees 

. 

Frost has a certain smell also. 

. 

Flowing [Haiku]

.

Not necessarily physically but always together. 

. 

Flowing        -        15 Dec 22

Feeling the flowing 

Of Love to me from the one 

I am always with

. 

The one special person. 

. 

Story

.

Depends on the story and how it develops. 

. 

Story         -         13 Dec 22

Where a story 

Suddenly becomes

Reality 

Do you ride with o

Or do you fight it 

Entirely your choice 

. 

Choose wisely. 

. 

Everywhere

.

Another observation. 

. 

Everywhere        -         12 Dec 22

Cold everywhere 

They have said 

With snow and ice 

Here just some ice 

People have to watch 

Where they put their feet 

. 

I am staying home. 

. 

Finding

.

One of the most difficult things.

. 

Finding        -        11 Dec 22

Finding things 

Which want to remain hidden 

Trying to persuade them

To return to the light 

When they do not want to move 

. 

A losing battle.

. 

Ship

.

Inspiration for this came from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, I want a thumb.

. 

Ship       -       10 Dec 22 

Watching the sky 

Waiting for the ship 

To take my friend

And I 

Off this world 

To travel afar 

. 

It might be dangerous but it has got to be interesting. 

. 

Bodies

.

Personal experience and observation. 

. 

Bodies       -       09 Dec 22

Bodies are funny things 

They sometimes 

Let you down 

Do not always do 

What you want 

And unexpectedly pain 

But are still Lovely 

. 

I shall not go into detail but two people are experiencing issues.

. 

Ripples

. 

Nothing stands still. 

. 

Ripples        -        07 Dec 22

Cascade

Ripples 

In the clear sky 

Movement 

Attracts my attention 

A repeating pattern 

Grows and cascades

Through my mind 

Creating ripples 

In my thoughts

. 

My mind is a good example of the movement. 

. 

Touches

.

Always touching. 

. 

Touches       -       07 Dec 22

The sky touches me

Wherever I go 

Wherever I am 

The song fills me 

. 

Never alone. 

. 

Lips

.

She knows how to dance. 

. 

Lips       -      07 Dec 22 

Moving slowly though the night 

With a song on our lips

Flying back to the Multiverse 

With the thoughts and dreams

Collected through all the years 

And the song fills all the missing sounds 

As our lips dance together 

. 

And may even teach me a few moves. 

. 

Certainty

.

A statement of fact about the one special person and me. 

. 

Certainty       -        05 Dec 22 

In the infinities

Of all our eternities 

There is one certainty 

We are always together 

. 

She knows. 

. 

Silent Music

.

Listening to the enchanting sounds. 

.

Silent Music       -       04 Dec 22

Wind passing 

Moving branches 

In a slow dance 

To the silent music 

Of the celestial orchestra

. 

It can be heard in the wind. 

. 

Everywhen

.

The Lovely feelings. 

. 

Everywhen       -       03 Dec 22

Feeling her everywhen 

Whatever I am doing 

I know she is with me 

Everywhere I go 

She is waiting for me 

. 

Thoughts on my one special person. 

. 

Wishful

. 

Remembering the soft beach sand and the unbroken snow cover on a field, not easy to choose between them.

. 

Wishful        -        02 Dec 22

Sun and sand 

Is it snow 

Difficult to tell 

Sometimes 

Wishful thinking 

Wanting warmth

Or beauty 

Both perhaps 

. 

Probably both. 

. 

Change

.

An exercise for the W. 

. 

Change      -      01 Dec 22 

Why do I stand here 

Waiting for the change 

When I have seen 

What little movement

Warps the perseption 

. 

I really enjoy playing with words. 

. 

Words On The Ground

.

Many years ago I did a sequence of poems and statements on the ground and watched the reactions of people as they passed, the most interesting was from a schoolboy who erased a couple of words with his shoe.

. 

Words On The Ground      -       30 Nov 22 

Chalk from a determined hand 

Scribed under cover of night 

Designed to inspire thought

Or just to provoke reaction 

Simple words on the ground

Often trigger a powerful reaction 

. 

I think most people liked what they saw. 

. 

Pen

.

Random thoughts gathered in my head. 

. 

Pen      -       29 Nov 22 

Sand blown 

Wind thrown 

Darkness alone 

Pen 

Speaks of something

Words can never say 

It rests on the paper 

Frozen in mid thought 

. 

Random insanity perhaps.

. 

Songs Of Ice And Snow

.

Fragments of remembered songs live in my brain to be awakened by hearing something.

. 

Songs Of Ice And Snow     -     28 Nov 22 

The ice and snow do not know 

Only sing the songs of loss 

The warm summer gentle waves 

Wash our tears away to mix

With the waters of memory 

Where they can grow and flow 

To form new patterns of thought 

And new memories to fill the mind 

. 

Sometimes I know. 

. 

Moon Sweet

.

So many songs have been written. 

. 

Moon Sweet       -      25 Nov 22 

Nectar of the night 

Bathed in the phantom

Waters of the unreal seas 

On the Moon sweet dream 

Always dreaming 

. 

I have sailed those oceans. 

. 

After Dream

.

The struggle to find meaning. 

. 

After Dream         -        26 Nov 22 

Little images skimming 

Across my mind 

From a dream 

After the dance

They huddle in corners

Of my mind to discuss 

Possible meanings 

. 

The conscious mind often fails.

. 

Taste

.

Thinking about someone special. 

. 

Taste       -       25 Nov 22 

Other days 

The flow is different 

And the taste of the world 

Is not as sweet 

. 

She makes every thing sweeter. 

. 

Fictional Day

. 

The most memorable days can be fictional.

. 

Fictional Day       -       24 Nov 22

Watching a drifting moment 

Sliding across the fields 

Dancing with the shadow 

Of the sun as it hides

In a day of fictional words

Inventing new meanings 

For the old dreams

. 

Sometimes fictional can be more real than reality.

. 

Forgotten

. 

Ever wondered what you were thinking about? 

. 

Forgotten         -       23 Nov 22 

Forgotten thoughts 

Sometimes never recalled 

Hold answers 

To little mysteries

In life

. 

The answer comes if it wants. 

. 

Candlelight

.

Somehow an evening is more welcoming by candlelight. 

. 

Candlelight      -      22 Nov 22 

Candlelight warm glow 

Diffused by a glass mask 

Shines and fills the room

Pleases me again

. 

The simple things are often the best. 

. 

Rain

. 

A lot of this recently. 

. 

Rain       -       21 Nov 22 

Wet above 

Sky filled with cloud 

Wet below 

Road filled with puddles 

Wet around

World filled with rain

. 

Can hear it and see it. 

. 

Tu Me Manque

.

I miss you said in a different way. 

. 

Tu Me Manque        -        20 Nov 22 

The French say it 

More beautifully 

When you are not 

Around with me 

Tu me manque 

You are missing from me

. 

Poetic and with more feeling.

. 

Communication

.

Careless talk can be painful. 

. 

Communication       -      19 Nov 22

Words spoken 

Oft times without thought 

Can sometimes tell more 

Than a focused phrase

Be careful how you speak 

When in communication 

. 

More damage can be caused by a misplaced word.

. 

Circling

.

From the ancient past or just an hour ago. 

. 

Circling      -       18 Nov 22

In memory I saw 

Strange wingèd things 

Circling 

Above me 

Vision fading now 

Replaced with 

Autumn leaves 

. 

Can I see that far back in time? 

. 

Broken Times

.

Then of course, there are never enough. 

. 

Broken Times        -        17 Nov 22 

From the cracks

Between the minutes

Seconds leak out 

To fill the day 

With broken times

That are usually ignored 

Unless there is an

Urgent need 

. 

Never enough.  

. 

Artist

.

With all the rain around, the circles are not clear at the moment. 

. 

Artist       -       16 Nov 22 

Watching the rain

Drawing circles on the road 

Patient artist 

. 

They are visible to the mind. 

. 

Evening Shadow

.

Interesting flavours can be found everywhere.

. 

Evening Shadow        -        15 Nov 22 

I look up 

To taste the shadow

Of the evening

Flavoured with all the 

Sweet nuances of the day

Intoxicating in the depth

Of intensity 

. 

Drunk on the essence. 

. 

Sapphire

.

I remember a gin. 

. 

Sapphire         -        14 Nov 22

In the halls of night

Eternal gem burning bright

Liquid sapphire

. 

Back when I used to take a drink. 

. 

Reality

.

Still searching for reality. 

. 

Reality       -       13 Nov 22

Against the tide 

Flow of evening reality 

Breaks the image 

Into fragments

Reality is insubstantial 

Flows with the tide

Through time

. 

Which way is it going.

. 

Nectar

.

Those exquisite hints. 

. 

Nectar       -       13 Nov 22 

The scent of nectar 

On the air 

Hinting of 

What might be to come 

The promise of delights

Later 

. 

Very difficult to ignore.

. 

I Watched The Stars

.

Always looking. 

. 

I Watched The Stars [Haiku]      -     11 Nov 22

In the years gone by

I watched the stars looking for 

Signs someone had seen

. 

But there was never any message.

. 

A Night In The Garden Of Secrets

.

There are secrets everywhere. 

. 

A Night In The Garden Of Secrets       -      10 Nov 22 

It comes out 

At night 

Born from the dark side 

Of dream

Woven with the tangled web

Of secrets 

Tracing through the garden

Trying to unravel the knots 

Before they get too tight

.

They wait in the garden. 

. 

Conflicts

.

Programs have their own dreams.

.. 

Conflicts       -       09 Nov 22

Imaginary conflicts 

Block the flow 

Of easy progress 

Through the flow 

Of the stream 

Of life 

. 

Do not allow them. 

. 

Evening

.

Thoughts of times past. 

. 

Evening        -       08 Nov 22 

The day curls back on itself 

Random mists swirl 

About the trees 

In the evening as 

The sun vanishes 

Beyond the horizon 

Wrapped in the swirl 

. 

Sometimes watched while travelling.

. 

Turn [Haiku]

.

An Haiku today. 

. 

Turn [Haiku]         -        07 Nov 22

Calm in the mind's eye

Seeing the world turn again

Not able to sleep 

. 

Sleep is not my problem. 

. 

Disparate

.

The images laid upon each other. 

. 

Disparate       -       06 Nov 22

Dreams of the day 

Overwhelm the dozing mind

Trying to reconcile 

The disparate images

With the future intentions

Never quite succeeding 

Always trying 

. 

Trying to get them to match up somehow.

. 

Noctilucent

.

The thoughts of someone special. 

. 

Noctilucent        -       05 Nov 22

She shines at night 

The world is brighter 

Because of her 

She is noctilucent 

Everything is wonderful 

Because of her 

. 

My life is brighter. 

. 

Secret Whispers [Haiku]

.

I have heard the whispers. 

. 

Secret Whispers [Haiku]       -      04 Nov 22

Secret whispers heard

Between the whispers of the 

dreaming trees at night 

. 

I listen for them. 

. 

Sands

.

Remembered deserts.

. 

Sands        -       03 Nov 22 

Sands driven wildly

Scratch my skin 

Blind me to

What is around me 

Hood drawn close 

I blunder ever onwards 

Searching for something 

. 

Will I ever find it. 

. 

To Share

.

I Love sharing. 

. 

To Share       -       02 Nov 22 

After all is done 

Something remains

Always a pleasant task)

We invite each other 

Into the warmth 

Of our arms 

To share 

. 

A Lovely way to be close. 

. 

Smile

.

A reason to smile has opened. 

. 

Smile       -       01 Nov 22 

Patience pays off

Have been waiting 

For so long 

Now the smile

Has touched me again 

She has returned 

. 

It has been too long. 

. 

Knocking

.

Suddenly very windy tonight.

. 

Knocking       -       31 Oct 22

Wind 

Comes knocking

At my window 

On my walls 

Turning off my lights 

At random intervals 

Now I carry a lamp 

Wherever I go 

In case of wind

Knocking

. 

Wind can be a pain sometimes. 

. 

Or Darkness

.

Never easy to tell. 

. 

Or Darkness      -      30 Oct 22 

Conflicted thoughts

Shall this be the way

Or something else 

Can I see

Or is darkness 

All there is 

. 

Occasional conflict.

. 

Afterthoughts

.

When I am watching. 

. 

Afterthoughts       -        29 Oct 22

Afterthoughts

I watch again 

As the ideas form 

From the nebulosity 

Of the mind 

I often fail to see 

Any difference 

Between what was 

And what is to come 

. 

Sometimes there is no difference. 

. 

Warmer

.

Not a boxer but know where to play.

. 

Warmer        -        28 Oct 22

Seeking out 

The warmer places 

Where my hands 

Prefer to go

And play

I think you know where those places might be.

Connecting

One of those Lovely times.

Connecting        -        27 Oct 22

As an unexpected 

But longed-for message 

Arrived as I watched

Connecting with you again

Feelings refreshed after too long.

Serpents

Good at wrestling too. 

. 

Serpents        -        26 Oct 22 

Tongues 

Inquisitive serpents 

Coil around 

Investigate words 

Lick the meaning 

Off what is said

Taste the truth 

In the dance

Wrestling is fun. 

. 

Cat Ear

.

Being observed. 

. 

Cat Ear       -       25 Oct 22 

Cats ears 

Watch 

No other sign 

Of awareness 

Just the 

Scanning ear

Wish I could see with my ears in that way.

A universal chess game.

Cavalcade         -       24 Oct 22

Dark Forest        -       22 Oct 22 

Under the limbs 

Of the sheltering trees

In the dark forest 

We gather the light 

Of the Moon 

As night surrounds us

We await the arrival.

A simple word can show the way to great journeys.

Wonderful women.

Untamed         -       20 Oct 22 

Tasting the essence 

Of an untamed woman 

Who knows how to take 

Everything she needs 

From you 

Painlessly

. 

Though you will feel it. 

. 

Nothing

.

A thank you note. 

. 

Nothing        -       19 Oct 22 

There are many wonderful 

Things in the world 

Many beautiful people

None of them 

Has ever taken me higher 

Nothing has given me 

More pleasure than you 

Thank you 

. 

Thank you for you, you know to whom I am talking. 

. 

Peace

Not enough people find this elusive place.

. 

Peace        -        18 Oct 22

Between action 

And contemplation 

That place

Flows smoothly 

And all can be seen 

As one

Once experienced never forgotten.

Moments         -         14 Oct 22

Sacred moments

In a world of dream 

Tasting the essence 

Of the evening 

As it slips softly 

Past into 

The realm of night

Try to follow.

Difference

Time zones can make life difficult.

. 

Difference        -       13 Oct 22

In other realities 

Making Love with you 

Was easy 

This one is more difficult

In time

Different parts of the world may as well be different worlds sometimes.

Frozen

My rainbow is in ice.

. 

Frozen      -       12 Oct 22 

Frozen 

Thoughts held in ice

In ice

Cannot shine

Writing can be difficult.

Moons

Sometimes they argue.

Moons      -       11 Oct 22

Claiming a different place

We Are Not        -        10 Oct 22

Places new

Cannot find answers nor find us.

Sister        -         08 Oct 22

Crystal sister

Once connected with words 

I was her brother

But we drifted apart

We each had

Our own paths to follow 

Now we walk 

In different worlds

It was never going to last but it was a pleasant dream. 

. 

Paper

How easy to damage something.

Paper       -        07 Oct 22

Paper crumpled 

Under my wrist 

Frustrated by 

Pointless rules 

Designed to control 

Not to help 

Paper now torn 

Smudged 

. 

Making it useless.

Inkwell

.

Words feed me.

Inkwell         -        06 Oct 22 

I am being written 

One slow word 

At a time 

The manuscript 

Never finishes 

The inkwell 

Never empties 

The words 

Always flowing 

. 

How to write the story.

Afternoon Dream

Building a Love letter.

Afternoon Dream        -         05 Oct 22

An afternoon dream

With special thoughts 

Filling my mind 

Keeping them private 

In case she sees 

The page 

Where I write them

They are words for her 

But not just yet 

. 

Love letters should never be shown as "works in progress".

As if from a railway carriage.

Musty Pages         -         03 Oct 22

Passing images

In a picture book

Musty pages 

Dusty covers 

Images fresh 

But memory drags forth 

The taste from the mind 

Looking out of the window 

I see the pages 

Curling against the sky 

. 

Sights and smells return to haunt.

A gentle touch

Of an angel sharing

Our thoughts entwined

Our kisses feed 

Our Love

Magic everything about her.

Tides        -         01 Oct 22

The tides 

Changing the shape 

Of the thoughts

Bringing old memories 

To the surface 

Once again

Scribed on a wall

With chalk 

Interrupted 

By a thought

Now left hanging

Please

A plea.

Movement         -          28 Sep 22

In the world 

Of movement 

Only one thing 

Stood still

When asked 

To move away 

From you

Always with you.

Imagined Moon

Around the time of new the Moon is always imagined.

Flow Purpose       -         22 Sep 22

Thoughts have

Purposeful movement

Even though they seem 

To be meandering 

Through the stream 

With no purpose

To their flow

Watch them 

And see 

. 

Purpose sometimes does not matter.

. 

Somewhen

. 

What it is to be incarnate. 

. 

Somewhen         -         21 Sep 22 

Somewhen 

I will know how 

I came to be here

But 

For now

I will just enjoy 

The pleasure of the ride 

And be at peace

Enjoy the ride.

Seduction         -         20 Sep 22

How to manipulate

Little touches 

To make big changes 

To have her way

She owns me.

Bright and beautiful.

Joyfully Burn         -          19 Sep 22

In a mind well travelled

Through lands unknown

Bring patterns to life

Weaving words into

Sentences of mystery 

And watch them 

Joyfully burn 

Illuminating the world

Dance of light and life.

Expectations         -        18 Sep 22

Into mats of 

Unspoken replies

Or if anything will be said.

A Special Place         -       14 Sep 22

Stopping and restarting 

A special place 

Where nothing is as it seems 

The world has shifted again 

Trying to keep up 

With the moves 

Wondering if it will be possible

. 

And realising, probably not. 

. 

Trees

Always more than just the physical presence of something.

. 

Trees         -         13 Sep 22

Of rain 

Take it into themselves 

Even when 

Only the essence is present

We have been seeing a lot of essence recently.

Wind Desired

Nothing moving, not even the low-flying cloud. 

. 

Wind Desired         -         12 Sep 22

Still calm 

Too quiet

In my mind

Teacher        -         11 Sep 22

Was someone who had given 

Clarity 

Gone from me but still 

Remembered and cherished

I remember her.

Artificial         -         09 Sep 22 

Artificial intelligence 

Is very artificial 

And usually not very

Intelligent 

Too many times 

An argument on 

Simple things 

Which have already 

Been agreed

Has to be 

Restated

Wondering if this is somehow contagious.

The best kind of games.

Watch

No self control.

Watch         -        30 Aug 22 

I watch the lines 

Drawn in the shadows 

By the intemperate 

Sun

I look for any meaning

Rain And...

Another of the "I will believe it when I see it" situations.

Rain And...        -        29 Aug 22

Promises

A week away 

Rain and strong winds

Have been promised

Yet here we sit 

In a long dry spell 

Still waiting

I never believe any promises made by weather forecasters.

I am on a different path.

A Lovely time.

Carries me 

On its back

I do not like it.

Open to somewhere else.

Unopened Doors        -        17 Aug 22

The smell of an 

Unused cottage 

Unopened doors

Of ancient perfume 

Remembers

Once, it was all new.

Allowing my imagination to wander.

A Moment  14 Aug 22

Between all others

I can of nowhere better than you.

Days like this are rather disheartening.

Sometimes I cannot be certain of where I am.

Fevered Thoughts         -        12 Aug 22

Drifting in and out

Of sleep 

Watching clouds 

In primal forms

Slide past 

Visiting places

I once inhabited 

Wondering why 

I am returning

Fevered thoughts

Perhaps

I do not want to go back.

Look into the mirrors.

Mirrors        -        10 Aug 22

All it takes is a decerning eye.

. 

Feelings

Some things are certain. 

. 

Feelings        -        08 Aug 22

She said 

I do not know

The thoughts are disturbed.

Whirlpool        -        07 Aug 22

To find

Broken pieces.

Dreams come in many flavours.

Dark Dreams        -        06 Aug 22

Lifting night

Star by star

And shine 

With the stars

They are always there.

Shifting into the movement.

Freedom Calls       -        16 Jul 22 

Thoughts of you 

Open the doors 

To freedom 

Allow me to escape 

From the dark tedium 

Of repetitive moves

Where nothing seems to happen 

Into a place where 

The tide calls me 

And the waves lift me 

Onwards 

Free 

. 

The tide and waves are always calling.

First Reality       -        01 Aug 22

Day 

Fractures the dreaming

Getting outside the comfort zone.

Leaving Comfort        -        16 Jul 22

Leaving comfort behind 

I walked into the unknown 

Not knowing what I might find 

I only looked for the change

In the surroundings 

That indicate 

Where I might be 

I am still walking

I am still looking 

. 

I do not know when I will find the answer. 

. 

Stalking Warriors

.

Almost a dream state.

. 

Stalking Warriors        -       14 Jul 22

In the starstream 

Faces of the night 

Watch the opening moves

Of the game 

Shadowed by the

Stalking warriors 

In their own shadows 

The game has no rules 

No effect on the bystanders 

Who hardly even watch 

Or notice the plays

Or see who wins 

. 

Potentially a nightmare.

Eyes watching me 

From the forest

I melting from 

One to another 

In my mind

Between minds 

In the forest

Quite scary too.

Moon Smile       -       11 Jul 22

Waiting for the Moon to smile 

Hoping for the change

She smiles infrequently but it is always worth watching her.

Phantom Lover        -        10 Jul 22

Dreams lap on the shore

Of my mind in the night 

Alone with the thoughts

Fades into somewhen

I swim with the dreams

Again under the forgiving Moon 

. 

And some are really special.

With the song

Still lingering

Forever

Such a beautiful song.

To be with you 

In the dream

I really like this kind of dream.

But still I listen 

I listen

Gentle songs.

Rose       -       03 Jul 22

The unexpected rose 

Fire in the bramble 

Pale blush as

The secret unfolds 

Flag unfurled 

Dancing against the sky 

Echoes the rose 

Dancing against the green

. 

Always dancing. 

. 

Lace

.

Those forgotten dreams again.

Lace        -       02 Jul 22

Lace like gossamer

Holds the secrets 

Of the Moon 

Through eternity 

Allowing glimpses

Through the glass 

Of time 

Misted by the tears 

Of forgotten dreams 

. 

A glimpse can be a painful experience.
