Whispering To Me

.

Out of a dream, whispers.

Whispering To Me    -     11 Dec 19 

From a dream I heard 

A soft voice calling 

My name gently 

Whispering in a forest 

Words to bring me back 

To her again 

She knew me and 

Knew whispering to me 

Would capture 

My attention 

I would be by her side 

Again and forever 

. 

Just for the one special person. 

. 

I See You

A Lovely dream.





I See You  -  27 Apr 18

In dream as I walk

Over gently rolling hills

Between forest giants

Above the sea's slow swell

You walk with me

Clothed in Love's beauty

I see you

Probably the best dream.

Accidental

A memory triggered by a smell.





Accidental  -  14 Apr 17

Wood ash

Flavours the morning air

Unexpected accidental smell

Triggers ancient memories

Takes me back to the forest

I remember green

My window was open and from somewhere wood-smoke wafted in.

Miles

Another "Five Thousand Miles" Love song in all but name.





Miles  -  14 Feb 17

Five thousand wishes

Requested across the miles

Meet me part way

In the forest of our dreams

Let us kiss beneath the trees

Our Love proclaimed

Through so many years

In so many ways

Written, you will note, on Valentine's day.

Stars On The Water

Observation on the mental plain.





Stars On TheWater  -  10 May 16

Hide the stars
From prying eyes
The secrets held
In the Infinities
Are too precious

Streams between the stars
Streams within the forest
Light scintillating
From the ripples
Stars upon the water





No that was no typo, the plains of the mental plane is precisely where I wander.

Waiting

A short poem containing some of the mysteries.





Waiting  -  24 Mar 16

The shadow falls
Across me as I wait
A tree dances with me
Shadows mingling
Carrying the essence
Of an eternal forest





It is Lovely to be able to experience the mysteries.

Imagined Reality

Playing with the images watching them shift.





Imagined Reality  -  23 Jan 16

Looking from the window
In the wall
Shapes suggest trees
Houses something
Undefined

Looking from the window
In my mind
Forest reaches
Toward the sea
Sun kissed

Looking from the window
In my memory
Trees gently stir the air
As the fire of the afternoon sun
Kisses my face





Since reality is always changing there is always something new tp see.

Forest Magic

Magic in a forest at night.





Forest Magic  -  02 Jun 15

Forest at night
Listening to the Moonsong
Filtering through the leaves

Full Moon sings
Our dreams
Into the world

We take a handful of stars
Fill them with our Love
Release them before dawn

Each carries Love
From us to the Universe
Sharing and returning





It is interesting that this poem is being posted just after New Moon, the magic is always present.

Forest Song

A Love song with a slightly different flavour.





Forest Song  -  16 Nov 14

In the ancient forest
I heard you call my name

A stream sang with you
Echoed your call

The haunting words of a whisper
Hang from a branch for me to catch

You lead me through the trees
To where you wait for me

Take my hand and I will lead you
To where I am waiting for you

The ancient night surrounds us now
Holds us close in Love





All Love songs have their own flavours ~ this is one of many.

The Singer And The Muse [Re-impassioned]

This new poem grew fairly quickly and interrupted what I was watching.  It insisted that it was written and finished without any interruptions getting in the way.

It was nearly complete when I realised that it was a piece which complimented and extended an old poem of mine so I have included that one too.





The Singer And The Muse  -  22 Feb 14
[Re-impassioned]

In a forest clearing
An ancient cottage stands
There my true Love lies
Waiting …
… Waiting

From the Ocean depths
I call to her ~ ask her to come
To be with me
Yearning …
… Yearning

I sing to my Muse ~ she answers
Fingers touch stroking playing
The keys of our Love
Growing …
… Growing




The Singer And The Muse
[The Original Version]

A broken melody
Charméd forth by fingers idly touching …
A key depressed

The Singer and the Muse join hands
A hummingbird flies
A sweet song in a minor key
Brings tears to ancient eyes

And deep within a hidden valley
A fountain plays
Far from the sight and sign of man





When I can recall the date when this first version was written I shall insert it here.

I guess that these are both "limite surréaliste" and Love songs too.

Love Evermore [Acrostic]

Offering another acrostic poem for your entertainment.




Love Evermore  -  09 Jun 13

Living in a secret land
Outside the forest
Verdant walls and
Emerald skies

Enveloped in Love
Visions pour from our Hearts
Enriching the thoughts
Recalling all the secret
Memories of our Love
On all our dreams
Recaptured and replayed
Endlessly ~ with joy

I'm getting the feeling that more of the fairytale poems are due - "Emerald skies" - maybe, who knows?   Muse does, methinks.

Map Of Myth

This "Map" poem grew in the afternoon and seemed to be a response to thoughts I had been having about some meditation experiences from a few years ago.





Map Of Myth  -  30 Apr 13


Forms around us
Keeping pace
Encouraging
Guarding
Protecting our dream
As we move through the day

Unicorns walk beside
In the forest glade
Their smiling shining thoughts
Light the day
More than the sun
Warm

Overhead
Wrapped in cerulean
Dragons of many colours
Circle
Play
A spiral dance

The Map holds many truths
Here be Dragons ~ yes often said
Here be Unicorns ~ never be mentioned
Yet here they walk
With many other beings
… And we





Maybe there will be more of these to come ~ I can think of one that could be used.
Thank you Muse for the suggestions.

Dream Map

This is a continuation of the "Map" series of poems.  Muse suggested that I wrote this yesterday [23 Apr 13] after the poem for the day was posted and so it had to wait before it appeared here.





Dream Map  -  23 Apr 13


Afternoon draws to an end
Evening watches
As we begin
To enter
Our dream

The map of day is ending
We reach the edge
And now …
The map of dream
Is unrolled

The path leads on
Through phantom forests
Surrounding ancient castles
Shrouded in myths
And Elder ways

We ~ wrapped in dream
Caressed by our wishes
Holding each other close
The nightlights of the stars
Guide us

I don't really know if there are more poems in this series but I do know Muse and she often arranges for things to happen.

Reality Seven ~ Reality

Yesterday another poem in the Reality series started to grow ~ from the final stanza forward.  Quite unusual for the last lines to come formed before anything else.  It was completed this afternoon and I now present it here.





Reality Seven ~ Reality  -  07 & 08 Jul 12

In our play
She led us deep…
Deep within the forest
Into the Halls
Of Poseidon

Amethysts shone
Diamonds lit the way
Our eyes reflected
The beauty
Skin glowed

We swam again
In Ocean’s warmth
Our thoughts entwined
Dreams blended
Our tails
Moved in synchrony

Contagious smile
Caressed me
Said…
Welcome home

It may be that this is the final poem in the Reality series - I feel that completion has been achieved but who knows what Muse knows.

Forest

Muse appears in different guises to me and shows me things I usually do not expect.





Forest - 15 Mar 10

She took me by the hand
And led me deep
Into the forest
Dappled sun
Through leafy canopy
Eiderdown
Laid me down
Beneath the trees
To sleep

Dreams flowed
Places I have never been
But have always
Existed in them
Remembered to me
Again
To allow me
Experiences of another way
A different view

She watched me dream
And in the dream
She led me further
To find me
And who I am
And where I am
And where I am going
Her gentle smile
Encouraged me
Further still





Muse is playing with my memories again today...wondering what I will be shown.
