Finding

.

One of the most difficult things.

. 

Finding        -        11 Dec 22

Finding things 

Which want to remain hidden 

Trying to persuade them

To return to the light 

When they do not want to move 

. 

A losing battle.

. 

Disguise

.

The best form is natural camouflage. 

.

Disguise         -        27 Aug 22

Disguise 

A hidden form 

In plain sight

Light hides an image

From the hunters

Keeps it secret 

. 

The secrets are always present. 

. 

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. 

. 

Watching

.
There is always something...

.
Watching   -  05 Oct 19

From a secret hidden place
Eyes can be seen watching
Aware of the movements
Around the worldly scheme
Cracks appear widen into
Chasms to swallow
Unwanted dreams

.
... lurking and observing.

.

Mirror Of The Night

.
Another somewhat dark poem.

.
Mirror Of The Night    -   21 Apr 19

The mirror of the night
Hanging on a wall
Reflecting the darkness
Of a hidden room
In the uncleaned face
It shows to those who dare
To look upon the nightmare
Held in the shadowed glass

.
The dark is often more evocative.

.

Night Secrets

.
Secrets are never hidden for long.

.
Night Secrets    -    20 Oct 18

Secrets held
In the shadows
Between dark and light
Day pretends
That there are no secrets
The other side
Night knows
Where the secrets are
In the darkness
Forever hidden
But waiting

.
The secrets never remain hidden for long.

.

Allowing . . .

Just a little statement of how Love works.





Allowing . . .   -  28 Mar 15

A hidden wish
Kept private
To allow for growth
To allow for
Intimate conversation
Between the lines
Which others can see
Whispered Love songs
Meant only for us
To hear and see
Now let us whisper
Our hidden wishes





Whispers of wishes.

 

Hidden Dreams

Quite an intense Love song this time.





Hidden Dreams  -  18 Nov 14

Hidden dreams
Secrets kept in my pocket
Protected
Keeping you hidden
From prying eyes
Protected

My dreams ~ our dreams
Have filled all my hours
Opened the gates to Love
Where we can play
Watch the days flow
Become Infinities





Hope you enjoy and, perhaps, find an echoing chord in you.

Hidden Worlds

After reading that I see things in different ways to other people I was inspired to write this poem.





Hidden Worlds  -  30 Oct 14

With eyes that see
The world in different colours
Which everyone else
Can miss
I see your Love
Shine out and fill
Me and my world

Those hidden worlds
In which I live
Hold wonders
To explore
I offer them to you
Come with me
To journey in Love





So ~ this is a Love song and an invitation to journey with me.

Between Words

I'm not entirely certain where the inspiration for this poem came from but it seems to work.  The final line was a very late addition, a couple of hours after the rest of the poem formed.  The structure was unintended but as it formed it felt necessary.





Between Words  -  31 May 13

In between the words
Once spoken as truth
Lie the hidden
The shapeless forms
Of the things
That always should stay
Hidden

In darkness come
Grave robbers of thoughts
Seeking to steal
Corpses of ancient ideas
Cadavers of the tired dream

Moonless starless
Dark absolute
Hiding words

Hiding worlds

Somewhat darker than my offerings of late.

Bridge Of Memories

This grew during the afternoon of 15 May and continued to form until it was complete just a few minutes after midnight.  The subject line came from a prompt by Muse but, other than that, I have no idea where it really came from ~ it is not autobiographical from this life at any rate.





Bridge Of Memories  -  15 May 13


Thoughts from the past
Images held
In the palm of my hand
As I cross
The Bridge of Memories
And focus on the
Where and when and why

In a world now faded
Hidden from view
Behind so many veils

Beyond the reach of time
No eyes can see
No ears hear the voices
Now

She cast a spell
Tied my spirit
Bound my body
Powerless

Bridge ~
The key to freedom
Fist ~
Hold the thoughts
Release ~
Into the stream
Freedom ~
The key is claimed

I thank Muse for the inspiration and wonder if she can give any background information next time.
