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. 

. 

Memories

.

They dance around me like butterflies.

. 

Memories        -        15 Feb 22 

I have waited for you 

In all my dreams 

The sweet wine

Of memory 

Fills all of me 

With the flavour of you 

In the incandescent 

Beauty of memories 

Cascading through

Thoughts of all

I wait 

. 

You are always worth the wait.

. 

Evening Dreams

.

Sometimes more can be seen in the darkness. 

. Evening Dreams      -     16 Feb 21 

Sun has slipped 

Below the horizon again 

Letting darkness 

Fill the land 

Dreams of the evening 

Awaken and fill my thoughts 

With their wistful beauty 

. 

Sometimes the evening is the most beautiful time of day. 

. 

You Changed Me

.

This is what happens when someone special comes into your life. 

. 

You Changed Me     -     14 Aug 20 

My life was ordinary 

Quiet 

Without surprise 

Then you came 

Into my life 

Brought something 

Different 

Wonderful 

You fill my days 

With sunshine 

You fill my nights 

With the glory 

Of starlight 

You changed me

Thank you for the 

Beauty 

You bring me 

. 

Every day is like this for me.

Across The Silent Ocean

.
Tears of joy.

Across The Silent Ocean    -    01 Jul 19

Holding back the tears
As I look at the image
Of the beauty of
The world
Across the silent ocean

.
Sometimes beauty comes flooding in.

Elements Of You

.
Savouring all the different and wonderful flavours.

.
Elements Of You    -    18 May 19

I wait for you
Savouring the anticipation
I hear your voice
Listening to the words you say
I touch you
Feeling the softness of your skin
I taste your essence
Your flavour is intoxicating
I smell your perfume
The garden of Paradise is around me
I see you
Dazzled by your beauty
I know the elements of you
You are within my Heart

.
This poem is about that one special person.

Bouquet Of Stars

A little present.

Bouquet Of Stars  -  08 Jul 18

Gently bound
With a rainbow ribbon
I give you stars
A bouquet of beauty
Which will never
Rival you

The bouquet is for YOU.

Sliding

Travelling in strange ways.

Sliding  -  02 Jul 18

Slipping between
Dimensions of reality
Tasting the essence
Of unreality
Drinking the wine
Of what might be
Sliding into the depths
Where the if can
Be experienced
In all the
Unexpected beauty

Just a hint of the surreal here.

Knowing

Looking within to really see.





Knowing  -  05 Jun 18

I look within you

Seeing the real you

Outward shall

Pretends to show

Reality

I know different

I see your beauty

I know you ~ I see you.

Veil Of Night

Watching the Moon.





Veil Of Night  -  30 Mar 18

Through a pale veil

She watches

Her beauty cannot be hidden

Night enhances

Her appearance

I watch her fly

As she watches me

Even through a veil she is beautiful.

Eye Have

A Love song just because.





Eye Have  -  07 Jan 18

You in my thoughts

Constantly with me

I see you

My eyes have seen

Your beauty

Held in my eye

Forever

YOU are always in my thoughts.

Eyes Opened

One of those special Love songs.





Eyes Opened  -  04 Nov 17

I watch you

With eyes opened

By your beauty

Never expected

Always welcomed

You have enchanted me

Now you take me

Along the next step

Seeing anew

Seeing beauty.

Songs In The Mist

Open your mind, open your Heart and listen.





Songs In The Mist  -  08 Jan 17

Wordless songs

Filled with beauty

And with the mystery

Which only comes

From communing

With the spirits

In the mist

Listen

The songs can be heard everywhere.

In The Woods

An observation and a Love song.





In The Woods  -  02 Jan 17

Soft green canopy

Filtered sunlight

Komorebi

Your halo shines

Illuminating your beauty

I have seen you

In all the myriad times

And places where we met

You still remain

As beautiful as my memory

Holds you

I fall In Love again

Komorebi. This is the word the Japanese have for when sunlight filters through the trees - the interplay between the light and the leaves

Looking Into You

A Love song from the last day of 2016.





Looking Into You  -  31 Dec 16

I see YOU

The light within shines

Brighter than the sun

Shows your beauty

Shows me who you are

Clearly when I am

Looking into you

Beautiful Light of YOU.

First Light

Another little Love song today.





First Light  -  08 Oct 16

When you appeared

I was entranced

Your beauty filled me

Showed me the world

In a different way

The light you gave me

Was your light

I realised that it was

Your Love

And I was happy

The light of Love.

Handful Of Stars

A tiny Love song today.





A Handful Of Stars  -  11 Jun 16

A necklace
To adorn you
Your beauty needs
Nothing
But a handful of stars





A simple statement of fact.

Used

Partially inspired by an article I read about a man who recycles used crayons into whole new ones for distribution to children's hospitals.  This poem takes real inspiration from art works I have seen in the medium.





Used  -  07 Sep 15

Well-used blunt crayons
Still tell the tales
Of beauty
Across the page
In lines and shades
In warm coloured wax





I wish I had taken the opportunity to work in wax crayon when I was young.

Kisses Open

A rather special Love song with a hint of sensuality.





Kisses Open  -  17 Jun 15

Gentle kisses
Laid on each eyelid
Opens my inner eyes
To the beauty of you
Your kisses
Always open me
To your Love





I Love seeing with ALL my eyes.

After Images

Love songs are with us again ~ never really left though, so, smiling as I stroke the keyboard.





After Images  -  20 Mar 15

I stared too long
Into your beauty
Now all I can see
Everywhere I look
Is your face
Too long
Is never long enough
To look at you
And as I look
At you
You look
Into my Soul
And see
We





I have looked, have seen and am still seeing.
