Twilight

.

Days like this are rather disheartening.

. 

Twilight         -         13 Aug 22 

Waiting for the afternoon 

To clear

Even more cloud though to

Obscure the sky 

Obscure the sun 

Twilight in the 

Middle of the day 

. 

Fairly frequent occurrence.

. 

Cares

.

This is something that everybody should remember.

. 

Cares        -        07 Apr 22

In an afternoon 

Moments of tranquility 

Wash the cares of 

Yesterday from 

Memory 

Tomorrow is new 

Cares are old 

They must not mix 

. 

Living in the now is best.

. 

Evening Dance

.

Will you come out? 

.

Evening Dance       -       24 Jul 21 

Afternoon slowly fades

Venus shines bright 

In the West

The day goes to rest 

Evening walkers

Move in a secret dance 

Known only to those

Who come out to taste 

Hungry for the night

The special flavours 

Tasted only then

By the favoured few 

.

Are you ready to sample the exotic flavours? 

. 

Delight

.

Afternoon delight was a song from quite a while ago, it fits well with the feelings behind this poem.

.

Delight      -     16 Mar 21

In an afternoon

Dreaming

The delight of knowing

That I am not dreaming

Alone

Dreaming together

Not just in an afternoon

.

Happy thoughts.

. 

Whispers

.

Those Lovely warm summer days.

.

Whispers      -    11 Mar 21

The little voices tell sweet tales

In whispers spoken

Stories of gentle Love

In the warmth of afternoon

When only the song of bees

Wandering through clover

Is louder

.

A Lovely experience.

. 

Dark Eve

.

An evening of foretelling. 

. 

Dark Eve       -     31 Jan 21 

After an afternoon 

Without surprise 

A sudden feeling 

Of foreboding 

Crept over the world 

Something not right 

The dark eve of the new day 

To come 

. 

Watch for the signs. 

. 

When Evening Falls

.

Expectation can be powerful. 

. 

When Evening Falls     -     08 Aug 20 

Afternoon builds expectation 

Wave upon wave 

Thoughts flow and fill the mind 

Desires become a torrent 

Then when evening falls... 

. 

Is it hot in here? 

. 

Evening Dreams

.

Always there, just look for them. 

. 

Evening Dreams    -    06 Jun 20 

The afternoon slipped 

Softly 

Into the warm dark 

Of evening 

The sweet dreams 

Of memories 

Long held 

Drift sweetly back 

Into mind 

. 

Share them with your waking mind. 

. 

Drifting [Haiku]

.

. 

Drifting [Haiku]    -    05 Mar 20

Perfume fills my mind

An afternoon deep in thought 

Drifting through the day 

. 

We have all had that kind of day. 

. 

Afternoon Dreaming

.

The shape of the afternoon changes as we dream it. 

. 

Afternoon Dreaming    -   13 Oct 19 

Morning moved slowly 

Opening thoughts 

Hoping change 

From soft slow hours 

Through soft dreaming 

In an afternoon 

Of dreams 

Of afternoons in infinity 

. 

Spiral dreaming. 

. 

Moments In Infinity

.
The journey of eternity.

.
Moments In Infinity   -   16 Sep 19

The light of a thousand years
Just a first step
On an even longer journey
Through the shadows
Wrapped in the afternoon
Sunshine dreams
Looking for an answer
In the moments in infinity
I close my eyes and
Take the next step

.
A journey willingly undertaken.

.

Wishing

.
Thoughts in the wind.

.
Wishing     -    02 May 19

Waiting
In a cold afternoon
Wind drags my body
Trying to reposition me
Wishing I was not here
Wishing I was with you
Wishing

.
Main reason for being somewhere else, with that one special person.

.

Dance With Death

.
A fantasy poem, it grew suddenly in the middle of the night.

.
Dance With Death    -    14 Oct 18

Death comes slowly
For those who wait
And dance with
The magician's daughter

Spellweaver holds death
At bay as the dance continues
Through the eternal afternoon
In the garden on the river

Death will never reach its target
While the Spellweaver smiles and sings
The incantations which bind
Dancers will dance on forever

.
I really like the effect this poem creates.

.

Darkling Day

.
Another weather inspired poem.

Darkling Day   -   04 Aug 18

Afternoon cut short
Thick cloud
Heavy with potential rain
A darkling day
Closes early

.
Autumn is arriving and the days are getting shorter.

.

Echoes Of Evening

Listening and watching.

Echoes Of Evening   -   21 Jul 18

In the eternal afternoon
Echoes of a blissful evening
Fill my thoughts
An evening yet to arrive
I stand and watch
As ripples from a stone
Unthrown
Into the stream of life
Spread across the surface
Evening is waiting

.
A slight hint of the surreal to add a little flavour.

.

Darkness

An observation.

Darkness  -  02 Jul 18

In an afternoon
Unexpected darkness
Cloud wraps the sun
Hiding his glory
Leaving a feeling
That night
Will soon fall

Days like these are not very welcome.

Shapes In The Sky

I Love watching the bird dances in flight.





Shapes In The Sky  -  22 Dec 17

Birds gather in the afternoon

Telling of the best food

Sky dance

Making shapes in the sky

To point the way home

As night approaches

The dance can be hypnotic.

Dreaming Moon

An observation from various times.





Dreaming Moon  -  30 Aug 17

In a slow afternoon

A moon faded by the sun

Follows toward the sea

Dreaming

Waves rock her gently

Into a silent dream

In the west at the right time of the moonth.

Dreaming

A small soft song wanders through the mind.





Dreaming  -  29 Jun 17

In a quiet afternoon

Warm sweet breeze

Stirs the leaves

Caresses the mind

Gentle breezes.

Kissing The Wind

Continuing the wind theme with a modern Haikū.






Kissing The Wind  -  18 May 17

Walking

A dance

In an afternoon

Kissing and dancing.
