Inspiration

.

A simple word can show the way to great journeys. 

. 

Inspiration        -        21 Oct 22 

Her subtle suggestions 

Are a powerful inspiration 

To my imagination 

I take flight on her words 

I fly between worlds 

And I see her everywhere 

. 

She inspires and guides.

Eternal Journey

.
Another exploration of Everywhen.

.
Eternal Journey    -   30 Jun 19

When we started
On our travels
We did not know
How far we could go

The eternal journey
Touched us carried us
Further than our imaginations
Had ever shown us

Now we know that
Our journey will never end
There is so much to see
So much to do in eternity

.
Journeying joyfully eternally.

.

Out Of The Dark

.
Light and dark both work to shape the world.

.
Out Of The Dark    -    08 Jun 19

From the light
Images drift
Taking random thoughts
With them
Into places
As yet unseen
Out of the dark
Modified thoughts
Bump into the world
Giving rise to new visions
To shift imagination
Somewhere different

.
Let them show what they have to offer.

.

Desire

.
The way I feel.

.
Desire    -    02 Nov 18

Thoughts
Drive desire
To greater heights
Raising expectations
Beyond
Realms realistically
Achievable to dreamers
Not to
Those
Who never
Dream to higher
Levels of
Imagination

.
I felt that creating a pattern with words would be an interesting way to explore a poem.

.

Dreamed You

Feeling you everywhere and in all my dreams.

Dreamed You   -   22 Jul 18

I have dreamed
Touched many places
Been where imagination
Is not a visitor

I have tasted you
In so many wonderful
Intoxicating ways
All I know is

Dreams
Will never replace
The wonder of
You

.
Yes I am talking about YOU.

.

Love Always

A little Love song presented as a modern Haikū.





Love Always  -  28 Dec 17

Imagination takes me to see you

No matter where I am

Love always carries me

Always Love YOU.

Eyemagination

I was sitting and was convinced that I was actually looking at something and the title just appeared in my mind.

The poem formed itself as I sat.





Eyemagination  -  16 Sep 17

A fiction invented

By the wandering vision

Of a tired eye

Seeing what it thinks

It sees

Created in imagination

Because vision

Vaguely suggested

A form to watch

The spellchecker really dislikes  me.

Slipping Gently

Another of the sensuous Lust songs to wake your dreams.





Slipping Gently  -  01 Jun 17

Smooth skin

Slides

Gently across memory

Fingertips sketch

The tale

From imagination into

Reality

Love the touch.

Subtle

Always willing to consider changes in direction





Subtle  -  12 Aug 16

Little whispers
Touch my thoughts
Leaving subtle suggestions
To raise my imagination
Give new ideas
What to do next
You offer a new direction
Which allows a different view
A subtle change





I may not actually take them but I will look.

Exploring ~ Space

Another offering in the "Exploring ~ " series.





Exploring ~ Space  -  31 Mar 16

Worlds out of imagination
Circle stars with no names
We walk beside oceans
Which talk to us
In whispers to stir
Images into being
And walk with us
To tell us of the dreams
The planets are spinning





I feel there are more to come.

Time Dance

A Love song with a hint of Lust song added in.





Time Dance  -  05 Dec 15

Imagination
Populates the hall
Fills the dance
Time stands still
As the dance moves
Around it
Sweet white wine
Flows
Though never as sweet
As the kisses
You share with me





I Love a bit of Lust.

Moonlight Walk

Playing in the Moonlight as we walk together.





Moonlight Walk  -  16 Jun 15

Imagination claims reality
Takes it for a walk
Along Moonlit beaches
With us
Waves glisten and the surf
Breaks with a soft murmur
Our thoughts entwined
Fingers linked
As the Moonlight takes us
Further along our path
To where our imaginations
Play a special game





Playing is always a good idea.

Arbres Imaginaires

The title means "Imaginary Trees" ~ you will see why when you read the poem.





Arbres Imaginaires  -  02 Mar 15

Branches
Grey
Snagging mists and cloud
Gathering them from
Sky to lay them on walls

You pass before the trees
Your shadow
Lies on them and
Lies on the sky
Behind

Is everything
In my imagination
Or can it be
That
I am in yours





Playing in an imagination ~ but who is imagining?

Imagining [Acrostic]

This poem is structured as an acrostic but, in feel, it is intentionally rather disjointed rather in the manner of a half-remembered dream.





Imagining [Acrostic]  -  28 Nov 14

In an open thought
Mountainous clouds tower
Air torn by lightning
Gems of ice scatter before the dawn
Inside a secret dream
Never told in waking moments
Imaging the imagination
Night smiles hold the secrets
Gifts in the dark





Watching the secrets unfold.

Sharing My World

Title says it all ~ I just want to share my world with you.





Sharing My World  -  05 Nov 14

Offering my world to you
In all the various levels
Of imagination
From reality
To where I exist

Sharing my world
Giving you a part of it
So you can hold
A small piece of me
Forever





Hope you enjoy your journey through me.

Image[ination]

Another little Love-song/poem which grew out of the first two lines and formed over the space of the afternoon and evening.





Image[ination]  -  29 Jun 13

Close your eyes
See me

Look into your imagination
See me looking back at you
In all your glory

Look into my mind
See you

Love holds us both
Entwined ~ intertwined
Sharing the same space

Open your eyes
See us

No dream or imagination
Shows us as we really are
Connected together

Look
See We

The structure is not something I originally intended but I feel it works.

Return

This poem took a surprisingly long time to emerge fully, almost as though I had to live through the cold winds.  Whatever the reason for this slow growth, I now present it here.







Return  -  21, 22 & 26 Apr 12



Too long
Have I stayed away
The stars
Have moved on in their courses
Drawn
New pictures
Across the sky

New legends
Illustrated
In the imagination
Of the watchers

But now
The winds are changing
The old ways
Are gone
The weather says storms ahead
The winds of change
Blow cold

I have been called back
To take my place
To stand at the head
Of the watchers







Was it worth the wait?  You tell me...
I thank Muse [as usual] for the various prompts and thanks also go to a lovely fellow Blogger who accidentally presented a seed thought.

Gentle Hand

Another of the poems which started unexpectedly but required a little coaxing to bring it to some kind of completion. It is a little more 'free-form' than most of the poems here but...well, see what you think.





Gentle Hand - 22 May 10

And time rolled by
Waves across the sand
Stirring my imagination
With a gentle hand

Caressing me
Holding my thoughts
Wrapped in velvet
Cradled in silk
Perfumed
With your special scent
Your essence

Music playing in my mind
Draws an ancient memory
From a resting place
Into the light
Where an examination
Will show
The scars and smiles
In equal measure

You reach out and take it
Into your hand
Smile into it...breathe into it
Give a little kiss
Make it so the pain can fade
Shine the smiles
Then put it back with
Another kiss
To keep it company

Along the strandline
Two pairs of feet
Mark the tide
And trace
The memories
Where imagination has laid
A gentle hand





I sometimes wonder where Muse finds these ideas to feed to me - other times I realise that they are hiding just beneath the surface of my mind.

Conversations

Almost a return to the 'sad' series of poems but, this one feels different to me - not quite certain what it is that changes the mood for me, what do you think?




Conversations - 14 Feb 10

Whispers in the silence
Of the night
Conversations
With the people
In imagination
Across a void
In the echoes
Of my mind

Holding an imaginary
Hand
Created out of habit
From a wish
That was real
A long time ago
Your hand was almost real
Then

My world is different now
As is my self
I know her hand is unreal
But I cannot let it go
And still she haunts
My thoughts
And dreams





I really do not know where this came from, or what it is trying to tell me - I shall have to explore...
