Quiet

.

Peaceful way to be. 

. 

Quiet        -         16 Dec 22 

On my own 

I sit in the quiet 

Of midnight 

Waiting 

. 

Being alone is not lonely. 

. 

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? 

. 

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.

. 

Time

.

In the dark hours. 

.

Time      -      01 Apr 21 

Twentythree

Watching the clock 

The midnight hour approaches

Time waits 

Never

Seconds pass 

Tick after tock

Inexorable 

March of the cogs

.

Time is a fiction, as a wise man said. 

. 

Drifting Through [Haiku]

.
Another Haiku for your delectation.

Drifting Through [Haiku]  -   27 Jul 19

Fey wishes drifting
Through midnight mountains glory
Dreams are shimmering

.
I Love the restrictions of the structure of this form.

.

Sweet Moments

.
Taken to new places.

.
Sweet Moments   -  28 Jul 19

Midnight Moon
Fills my thoughts
Transports me into
Beautiful places filled
With sweet moments

.
A Lovely way to explore.

The Kiss

Another modern Haikū for your entertainment today.





The Kiss  -  19 Jul 17

Soft kisses

Shared in the midnight

Moments become hours

Just some mild eroticism.

Silent Wishes

Those hours are filled with wonderful thoughts.





Silent Wishes  -  18 Sep 15

In the quiet hours
After midnight
I hold the thoughts
Of you clearly
In my mind
So I can send
Wishes to you





And those wishes are rather special.

Bedtime Stories

A little Lust song for a change.




Bedtime Stories  -  17 Jan 15

Once upon a midnight
When dreams were still asleep
Wandering thoughts
Came visiting
And you came into me
Stories at bedtime
Take us
Into a world of our own
Where we can play
Forever





Just for a change?  Excuse me while i grin.

Dragon Nights

Another meeting with the Dragons.





Dragon Nights  -  07 Dec 14

Wings carry dreams
Through starlit realms
Across the silver Moon
Midnight holds no secrets
From the Dragon eye
As he watches
Through the night





They are everywhere ~ all you have to do is look.

Midnight Dance

Just a little playful piece exploring a special dance.





Midnight Dance  -  24 Sep 14

Across the sand
In circles round
Beneath the moonless sky
Clothed in stars
Iridescent gems
To light our way
In the midnight dance





Dancing on the sand in starlight.

Walking In Starlight

This is a "limite surréaliste" poem with just a slight hint of Love song.





Walking In Starlight  -  06 Mar 14

Formless space
Stars shine teasing
Open time and shaping
Clouds of empty dream

Taking the emptiness
Reforming it to our wants
Building a pathway
Out of dream

Midnight gardens
We can see
We can both be
Walking in starlight





I like the feel of this poem.  It rather fits my personal mood.

Dark Guardian

This took about three hours to emerge fully, the first two stanzas appeared before midnight but the final one didn't appear till nearly 02:00 ~ I work best in the early hours.
This poem could be considered as part of the "Dream" sequence with a hint of "Map" in there too.





Dark Guardian  -  10 May 13


Dark
Encompassing enveloping
Protecting
The stars have not seen
Beauty in the cloak
Of midnight dreams

Guardian of the Mysts
The shades in which
Strange things walk
Defenders of the dream
In the warm dark
Womb of night

And in those midnight hours
The dark shall sing
A gentle lullaby
To guide us
Into a starless
Dream

Once again I thank Muse for suggesting these ideas.

Before anyone comments, I had no idea that the Dark Guardian was a character from a comic book ~ I just felt that the name was rather interesting.

Midnight

During most of the evening [of 17 Sep] the word "Midnight" had been wandering around in my mind but I could not find anything with which to associate it.  At about 02:00, however, this poem started to grow, almost fully formed and with a couple of really minor alterations is what you see here.




Midnight  -  18 Sep 12


Midnight
A whispered prayer
Gossamer thoughts
Fragrant ideas born
Of things in shadowed memories

Shadowed memories of
Midnight
Ideas held suspended
In places
Where light seldom goes

Light plays
In fevered memories
Midnight
Times when old thoughts
Seldom play

Play the games
From when we were young
And dreamt that
Midnight
Was somewhere we could go

Somewhere in our thoughts
A secret place
We always held hands
And held the thoughts of
Midnight





I rather like the way that the word "Midnight" wanders through the poem and that the first line of each stanza contains an echo of the last line of the preceding one.

Wandering Kisses

A couple of words from a conversation, a night ago, formed the original inspiration for this poem and Muse gave me a little prod this evening to actually bring it out into the world.





Wandering Kisses - 23 Jan 11

Feling the wind of your
Passing
Feeling the drift of
You
Memories just forming
Storing for another when...
Future echoes in my mind

Remembering the hours we
Spent
Playing together in careless
Hours
Feeling your wandering kisses
Following your fingertips...
Across and around

In the silent hours after midnight
We sat together
Talked in our minds
Talked with our bodies
Silence was never so loud

Feeling our hours
Together
Sharing our wandering kisses
Through the night
Through us always
Calling the kisses...
Home





Another poem which grew suddenly and emerged fully-formed.
