Eternities Shore

.
The waves and the wind can always be heard.



Eternities Shore      -      30 May 22 

The winds of time 
Break against
The waves 
Of eternities shore 
In the opening dream 
Of the night winds 
Songs 




The sounds encourage sleep.

Castle In The Cloud

.
For some it is but a fantasy.



Castle In The Cloud        -       29 May 22

The castle was built 
For us
Rainbow below us 
A bridge to the entrance 
Gateway in the cloud 
And we can fly 
From here 



For us, reality.

Four O'Clock

.
The time may vary but the feel remains the same. 



Four O'Clock        -        28 May 22

Four o'clock in the morning
The birds are starting 
To call the sun into the sky
To light the world again 
Morning mists gathered 
In the valleys will fade soon 
Making way for the day 
Dawn breaking 



Dawn is a beautiful time. 

Saturday 28 May 2022

Kisses

.
Thoughts of just one of the things we want to do. 




Kisses       -       27 May 22 

All waking moments 
My dreams as well 
Are filled with thoughts 
Of your kisses 
When we are together 
Again 
We shall make them real 



It will be good.

Friday 27 May 2022

Edge Of The World

.
An hypnotic dance. 



Edge Of The World        -        26 May 22 

With you 
Watching 
The sea dance for us 
Slow movement 
Accompanied 
By the gulls over 
The edge of the world 
Water 
Land 
Air binds them 
Into the eternal dance 




Perfect for the long slow afternoons.

Touching Dreams

.
Lovely dreams. 



Touching Dreams       -       25 May 22

Touching thoughts 
Of you 
With the dreams I have 
Of you 

We are always together 
In our dreams 
We can fly 
In our dreams 



.
Really together. 

Wednesday 25 May 2022

Time

.
Time can be counted in different ways.




Time       -       24 May 22

Time teases 
Waits in quiet places 
Where unsuspecting 
People never know
Never go 
Cobwebs tell the hours 
In the amount of dust 
Gathered in the silken haze 
Wrapping the keys
Of time 




The telling of time in natural ways.

Tuesday 24 May 2022

Tomorrow Rises

.
Seeing it all. 



Tomorrow Rises       -       23 May 22 

Tomorrow rises 
In memory of the 
Day that was to come
Through the wind 
Of the mystery 
The petals fall again 



Soft fragrant snowflakes.

Monday 23 May 2022

Remembered

.
Those magical moments.



Remembered        -        22 May 22

Drifting through the evening
Remembering the day 
That was
And will remain
A sweet moment 
In all time 
Forever remembered 



Treasured because they happen infrequently.

Sunday 22 May 2022

The Song Of The Wild Moon

.
We have all heard this song at some point. 




The Song Of The Wild Moon      -      21 May 22 

Across the plains
To the place of dawn 
The song of the wild Moon 
Is heard 
Gathering the shadows
Of the night 
To hide the thoughts 
Of a lost Love 
Who wants to be found
The wild Moon 
Knows this feeling 
And is protective 




Some may still be hearing it.

Saturday 21 May 2022

Secret

.
An awareness while immersed. 



Secret       -        20 May 22

Water surrounds me 
Holds the secret 
Of where I am from 
Where I am going 
The waters and I know 



Knowledge arrives when it wants.

Friday 20 May 2022

Between

.
Best of all possible worlds. 




Between       -        19 May 22

In the darkling sky 
A glimmer of light 
The hint of the galaxy 
Between clouds 
Between stars 
Between dreams 
I watched 
The glimmering 
Between worlds 
And I was there 



I am always there. 

Thursday 19 May 2022

Possible

.
Shifting from one position to another. 




Possible        -        18 May 22

Looking through the lens 
At the times when 
The inevitable might melt 
Into a pool of possible 
Or something softer 
Rigid is dangerous
Let it go 



Just a suggestion. 

Wednesday 18 May 2022

Long Time

.
There are times when a memory cannot be fully recovered and there does not seem to be a reason.




Long Time       -       17 May 22 

Looking for a memory 
Not certain if I could find 
What I am looking for 
Because it was 
A long time ago 
And maybe the memory 
Does not want to be found 
Or seen again



Some memories are best left undisturbed.

Courtly Dance [Haiku]

.
This grew while watching the wind.




Courtly Dance [Haiku]       -      16 May 22

Trees bow politely
To the wind as it passes 
Courtly is the dance 



That was how dances used to be.

Monday 16 May 2022

Wind Holds

.
A spell that did not work.




Wind Holds       -       15 May 22

Fourteen times 
The ancient words 
Were spoken to try 
To open the lock 
Free time from 
The wind 
Every reality was
Fractured in
Unthinkable ways 
The lock remains 
And the wind holds



Even at the lightest, the wind is more powerful than you know. 

Sunday 15 May 2022

Confusion

.
Played the solo version frequently.




Confusion       -       14 May 22 

In 
The darkness of midday
Confusion 
Scattering the crows
Mind 
The sun at midnight 
Games 




Who wins? 

Saturday 14 May 2022

Dark Past

.
Not autobiographical but I have witnessed things like this. 




Dark Past        -       13 May 22 

I knew you were here 
I could feel your eyes 
On the back of my head
We said nothing 

Your look was a touch
From the dark past 
I dared not return 
Your gaze 

I did not want to return 
To that time 
Tears filled my eyes 



Not a pleasant experience. 

Friday 13 May 2022

Dream Place

.
Among the things at the water's edge.




Dream Place       -        12 May 22 

Along the strand line
A dream washed up 
Left in a place 
Where things are 
Often forgotten 
Abandoned 
To the vagaries 
Of the tide 
Sad remains 
Of a once loved 
Dream 
Unrembered 
Lying in the fragments 
Of the seaweed 
Walk away 
It is not your dream 




How many things once had meaning.

Thursday 12 May 2022

Red Cliffs

.
Memories can colour entire lives. 




Red Cliffs       -        11 May 22

The plaintive call 
Still echoes above 
The Red Cliffs
Every dawn 
As the memory 
Of the lost Lover 
Is recalled 
He is never forgotten
But gradually 
The tears dry 
And the call fades 
A little 



Fades but it never goes away completely. 

Wednesday 11 May 2022

Hallway

.
The path is clear.




Hallway        -        10 May 22

The doors in the hallway 
All lead to the same dream
Across the stars 
Through midnight 
When dark reveals 
The paths to knowing




It might be the same dream but it is much larger than you think.

Tuesday 10 May 2022

River Child

.
Something that can be heard if you really pay attention. 





River Child        -        09 May 22

In the whispers 
Of the stones
Can be heard 
The wistful words 
Of the river child 
Always telling 
Of the Moon on the river 




Sad words because the river child can never touch the Moon.

Monday 9 May 2022

Eternities

.
The song of Love should never be complex. 




Eternities        -        08 May 22

The song of your Heart 
Calls to mine 
Through all our eternities 
We are forever linked 
By a simple tune 
Which has joined us 
Forever 



And it plays on... 

Sunday 8 May 2022

Magic [Haiku]

.
It grew as if by... 





Magic [Haiku]        -        07 May 22

Spells, incantations 
All the tools to make it work 
Everywhere Magic



Sometimes tools are not required, it just works. 

Saturday 7 May 2022

Full Nights

.
A Lovely way to be. 




Full Nights        -       06 May 22 

Feeling the touch
Of a friendly hand 
The brush of
Loving lips

Nights are as full
As days 
Not able to tell 
Which is which 
All are enjoyable




Personal pleasures. 

Friday 6 May 2022

Waves Calling

.
Listening to the whispers. 



Waves Calling        -         05 May 22

Rain washed the wall 
By the path to the sea
Water to water
Down the hill 
Waves calling again
Across the sands 
Like all the yesterdays 
And tomorrow too 
Like the sea it calls 
In a forgotten whisper 



The whispers are haunting and can never be forgotten.

Thursday 5 May 2022

Amber

.
So many old thoughts and memories are held in this way.




Amber         -         04 May 22

Out of the past
I reached and captured 
A memory of an old smile 
Held in the Amber 
Of thought
The smile still held me 
After all the years 
Calls me as though
Still fresh




A precious resin to protect precious memories.

Wednesday 4 May 2022

I Dreamed You

.
A deeper connection between two people. 



I Dreamed You       -       03 May 22

I dreamed you 
Last night 
In the stars 
Again you took me 
You gave me you 
We danced together 
In the Moonlight 




More than just a dream. 

Tuesday 3 May 2022

Flames Of Sunset

.
So many often the most beautiful time of day.




.
Flames Of Sunset       -       02 May 22

In the West 
The flames of sunset 
Grow dim
As the day gathers 
To a close 
Evening whispers
A silent word 
To the star 
That heralds 
Night dreams 




And the nightbirds start their songs.

Renaissance

.
Semi autobiographical poem, I will leave you to which parts are real and which fiction.




Renaissance       -      01 May 22

Long, long ago 
A romance was new
But the two drifted apart 
Leaving only cobwebs
To fill the gap 

Others came and went
Nothing seemed right
And romance seemed 
To be gone forever 
Days were quiet 

Then a new face
Filled the void 
Renaissance of romance
World lives again
In the flower of Love 




The world is beautiful again. 

Sunday 1 May 2022

After Moments

.
The spirit is always there. 




After Moments        -        30 Apr 22 

Taking a slow breath 
Changing essence 
To hold the moments 
After thoughts have stilled 
And awareness fades 
Into the dream 
Moments continue 
To hold the form 
Of the first breath 



The breath can still be felt.
