Intermittent

.

Moments pass just out of reach between the flickering light. 

. 

Intermittent       -       16 Jan 23 

Clock determines circular time 

A fiction for time has no shape 

Reading time from the intermittent 

Splashes of light from a tumbling 

Mirror in a sideshow nightmare 

. 

Where does this go. 

. 

Patience

.

An eternity seems to pass while waiting. 

. 

Patience       -       26 Dec 22 

Waiting for something 

To happen 

Time passes and nothing 

Seems to change 

Seconds pass 

Minutes pass 

Testing my patience 

Then 

A shift 

The awaited change 

Happens 

. 

I won, I did not lose my cool. 

. 

Kiss Of Frost

.

I can hear the frost crackling. 

. 

Kiss Of Frost        -        15 Dec 22 

Slow time 

Afternoon drift 

Carries the dream 

Into the evening 

The day curls up 

To stay warm 

As the kiss of frost 

Decorates the trees 

. 

Frost has a certain smell also. 

. 

Reality

.

Still searching for reality. 

. 

Reality       -       13 Nov 22

Against the tide 

Flow of evening reality 

Breaks the image 

Into fragments

Reality is insubstantial 

Flows with the tide

Through time

. 

Which way is it going.

. 

Difference

.

Time zones can make life difficult.

. 

Difference        -       13 Oct 22

In other realities 

Making Love with you 

Was easy 

This one is more difficult 

Due to a difference

In time 

. 

Different parts of the world may as well be different worlds sometimes. 

. 

Mirrors

.

Look into the mirrors.

. 

Mirrors        -        10 Aug 22 

Time watches everything 

Seconds draw images

Behind them

A veil of hope 

Constantly forming

Mirrors 

In which the images 

Take shape

. 

Always changing. 

. 

In A Moment

.

It only takes a moment. 

. 

In A Moment        -       08 Jul 22

In a moment

The fingers time

Reached out to me 

Gathered me into 

Times grasp 

To show me

The song of the the secret

Left the secret 

In my Heart 

With the song

Still lingering

Forever 

. 

Such a beautiful song. 

. 

Hole

.

Holes can affect you in so many ways.

. 

Hole       -        05 Jun 22 

A hole in the memory 

Of which time 

Goes where and why 

A different when 

Presents itself to be 

Explored 

And identified 

. 

Rabbit hole? 

. 

Eternities Shore

.

The waves and the wind can always be heard.

. 

Eternities Shore      -      30 May 22 

The winds of time 

Break against

The waves 

Of eternities shore 

In the opening dream 

Of the night winds 

Songs 

. 

The sounds encourage sleep.

. 

Again

.

Revisiting otherwhens. 

. 

Again        -         29 Mar 22 

Losing time 

Again 

Does the water 

Taste like wine 

Again 

Or another drift

In the consciousness 

Of the Moon 

Have we been here 

Before

Or again 

Times to come 

. 

So many whens to visit.

. 

Dream Writing

.

For the one special person. 

. 

Dream Writing        -        10 Feb 22

I spent 

I do not know how long 

It was worth the time 

I wrote a dream 

For you

. 

Can take the dream where wanted. 

. 

Finding

.

What you find when you look. 

. 

Finding       -      15 Sep 21 

It has been a very long time 

But now I am finding

Who I really am 

With assistance from 

A trusted person 

Whom I could never be without 

. 

We are together. 

. 

Memories

.

Always remember to look at the big picture of your life.

. 

Memories      -     12 Sep 21 

At the time

They may seem 

Insignificant

Looking back 

They form a tapestry 

Of interwoven strands 

The memories which

Illustrate life

. 

The grand picture. 

. 

Automatic Sky

.

What is time? 

.

Automatic Sky       -      11 May 21 

Never needs winding

Never needs adjusting 

The sky is always correct

In the automatic flow 

Time is a fiction

.

Better men than I have said this last line. 

. 

Another Day

.

When am I. 

.

Another Day      -      04 May 21 

Watching time pass

Inexorably 

Moments blur together

I am never certain 

When I am

As another day 

Arrives

.

Time is a strange thing. 

. 

Somewhen

.

A secret known to only two people. 

.

Somewhen       -      13 Apr 21 

In a place hidden 

From intrusive watchers

I have placed 

A secret for me

Time hides it 

In the drift of

The eternal somewhen 

Only she and I

Know the when 

.

We will not tell. 

. 

Day Opens [Haiku]

.

Another Haiku today. 

.

Day Opens [Haiku]     -     06 Apr 21

A new time begins

With shifts of understanding 

Day opens in light

.

Birthdays do this too. 

. 

Days Beyond

.

Another venture into a surreal world. 

. 

Days Beyond       -      18 Feb 21 

Calendar wall 

Blocks of weeks 

Prevent seeing the 

Days beyond 

Bricks with cryptic marks 

Purport to be words 

Lie about what they 

Actually say 

Months in a heap 

Randomly tell the time 

. 

Do you know what reality really is? 

. 

Another Birthday

.

This works because of an event in my life many years ago. 

. 

Another Birthday       -      07 Jan 21 

Counting time by using events 

Some are regular 

Predictable in the extreme 

Some are regular 

But only appear 

In non-annual ways 

Some confuse the ordinary people 

When they appear more frequently 

I have another birthday 

Every year 

Not greedy I promise 

. 

The anniversary is 08 Jan. 

. 

Asking For A Moment

.

Stepping out of when. 

. 

Asking For A Moment      -     06 Sep 20 

In the time between 

One footfall and the next 

An eternity passed 

All I was doing 

Was asking for a 

Moment 

When I could see 

How the shifting 

Words of sand 

Reform in the morning 

As the sun calls 

. 

Wondering if I will ever be granted that moment. 

.
