Pegasus

.

Listening to music, I felt the urge to write and so this poem was born.

. 

Pegasus       -      08 Feb 22 

The whisper of Pegasus

Telling of the times

Spent with a Unicorn 

Playing in the early dawn 

Before Man

The games were gentle 

Music softer than 

The wind in the predawn 

Or an Angel's sigh 

. 

Those times were Lovely.

. 

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. 

. 

Songs In The Night

.

She is always there for me. 

. 

Songs In The Night     -    05 Jul 20 

In a quiet moment 

In a period of chaos 

I hear the quiet songs 

Sung by a special angel 

To give me rest 

In the night 

I am grateful 

As I slip into sleep 

. 

At other times she talks with me. 

. 

She Took My Heart

.

Who got the better deal? 

. 

She Took My Heart     -     01 Jul 20 

So gently 

A whisper of a breath 

Lifting 

A smile on an angel's lips 

She took my Heart 

Left me her smile 

. 

I feel we both have a good deal. 

. 

Angel Song

I was in bed about to enter sleep when I became fully aware of this.





Angel Song  -  11 Jul 16

I hear it
Constantly
Around me
Within me
Wordless
Always the song
Fillls me
Accompanies
My every move
I know the song
Of the angels





Most people call this tinnitus but I much prefer the poetic form.

Love Of An Angel

Variations on a theme, three linked Senryū or Haikū based around the theme of Love with someone really special.





Love Of An Angel  -  28 Jul 15

Angel kisses me
Gentle touch ~ her Love fills me
Dream becomes complete

Angel beside me
Offers protection and Love
Always within me

Wings wrapped around me
Holding me close against her
Her Love eternal





The Angel knows who she is.

Painted Wings

A little slightly "limite surréaliste" thank you to my Angel.





Painted Wings  - 10 Jun 15

Painted on the wings
Birds preen
My Angel spreads
Her wings
Lifts me
Her Heart
Holds me and keeps me safe
Painted wings
Reflect the sun





My Angel knows who she is.

Attraction

This poem grew from a framework of just the four words which form the opening lines of each stanza.





Attraction  -  30 Nov 13

Words
I heard you speak
Your words
Warm honeyed
Calling me

Lips
Brushed mine
Soft angel wings
Enticing

Eyes
Entrancing alluring
Shaping touch
Through sight

You
Complete me





I Love the way these grow almost by themselves.

Immortalised

Another of the chance sightings, this time I saw part of the opening line ~ "Take a walk through ... " and the rest just grew.





Immortalised  -  16 Jul 13

Take a walk
Through a graveyard
Read the unwritten
Stories of Loves lost
And won
And kept Eternally
Immortalised in stone
Cherished in the Heart
Of you …
Angel

This just felt right and fits with what I have seen and felt in graveyards.

Exhausted  -  16 Jun 10

Exhausted he lay
accepting the tending care
of the Loving hands


Silence  -  17 Jun 10

In the space between
Dusk and the Night ~ silence reigns
in which Stars play


Lingers  -  17 Jun 10

Her perfume lingers
in the air all around me
~ I will remember ...


Thoughts  -  17 Jun 10

Thoughts ~ so beautiful
Meandering through my mind
Bringing peace to me


Sweet  -  17 Jun 10

Smile of an Angel
So sweet ~ so soothing ~ Loving
I could dream in them





More to come soon...

Bullshit  -  09 Jun 10

Road to politics
paved with bullshit ... bucketloads
Just mind where you tread


Fall  -  09 Jun 10

Moment of torment
Watching your Lover fall for
another person


Stricken  -  09 Jun 10

Cannot concentrate
I have been stricken by Love
Your touch ... all it took


Sounds  -  10 Jun 10

Entry to the town
brought joy ... the ambient sounds
drowned out the sadness


Angel  -  10 Jun 10

An Angel wrapped wings
around me, took me to ... see
the Love within you





There will be more poems of all kinds soon.

Harmony

While writing the outro for "Competition" I said "Getting the feeling that this is the first poem of a pair."  Within a few moments of posting it here on Muse, the first words of the second poem started to form, so here is the second poem...constructed as a "count up" form.





Harmony  -  12 Aug 12


Angel voice

Giving my Soul
New words to sing

Relief from the competition
Old contestants
Scurry for the shade

Harmony ~ songs of Love
Now fill my thoughts
She touches me
With warmth

For inspiration
A flame is lit
And
Angel
Gives me a smile and a song





I think it works rather well.  Maybe more poems like this will appear soon.  Thank you Muse.

Competition

A new poem wandered into my mind, with gentle encouragement from Muse, it grew fairly quickly and I present it here.  The structure of a "count down" wasn't actually intended originally but I felt that it was good and I continued till it was complete.





Competition  -  12 Aug 12


Emptiness tried to claim me
Loneliness was already here
Between them
The melancholy choir
Was complete

Cobwebs on unused dreams
Did nothing but collect dust
And hide the light
From my eyes

Felt that all I saw
All I felt
Was all

Began to hear
New music

And then an Angel sang






Getting a feeling that this is the first poem of a pair ~ it this is the case, then part two will appear before too long, I hope.

Love Song Drifting By

Various events conspired to bring this poem into the light encouraged by Muse.





Love Song Drifting By - 24 Mar 10

Touching her
Resting my hands
On her hair
Gently stroking

She has been with me
For an eternity
Soul tied to Soul,
Willingly,
With threads of gossamer

Lifted into flight
On angel's wings
To soar among the stars
With love as our guide

And gathering
The love songs
As they drift past us
In our skies





The long-term readers among you will know that I do not argue with Muse when something is suggested.

Flight Through Infinity

This poem was inspired - in part - by my friend June, she has taken to writing duets through her comments here and, because of this, I felt it good - as the poem was being birthed - that June should get a mention here.

I present...





Flight Through Infinity - 13 Dec 09

In the flow
We swim together
Dance together
Sing our duet to charm
The watchers
Angel and Dolphin
Creating the dream
Together

In the wind
Between the stars
We fly together
Our dance together
Illumined by starlight
Angel and Dolphin
Dreaming the dance
Together

In the void
Where stars are born
We pause
Our dance creates the worlds
From which all things begin
And infinity
Shall be our playground
Angel and Dolphin
Dancing the dream
Together

In the infinite
Where thought is born
We need not move
Breathing the dream
Into existence and letting it
Flow, around, between,
Within
Angel and Dolphin
Dreaming the dream
Together





I feel this poem marks a new point in my writing - not certain where it is going to lead me but I am open to developments.
