Little Moments    -   19 Aug 19

Treasured
In all the little moments
Which gather round me
Around my Heart
Jewels left by you
Pieces of you
Given to me
Jewels from your Heart
Fill me with Love

.
Gathered and kept forever.

Diamonds In The Night

An observation of a heavy frost.





Diamonds In The Night  -  06 Jan 18

Glinting

While a blackbird sings

In the dark

Of night before the dawn

A scattering of diamonds

Frost jewels

Listening to the blackbird.

What I Want

Turning dreams into reality.





What I Want  -  23 Oct 17

Moments from a dream

Wrapped in the jewels

Of sweet memories

Yet to be formed

As we start to think them

YOU help me with this.

You

Another of the statements.





You  -  19 Sep 17

Jewels?

You are more precious

Than any gem

Flowers?

The garden is more fragrant

With you in it

My life?

Empty without you

And all because of YOU.

Water Quest

Another image gleaned from a journey to collect real, fresh drinking water.





Water Quest  -  20 Feb 15

Painted jewels
Waters dance under trees
Throwing gems
Into the branches above
Pausing in my quest
To watch the crystal shine
I walk on mesmerised
Sparkling water





So pleased that the water source is so close.

Fragments Of A Day

This poem started to grow on 21 Mar 11 and was brought to completion this afternoon 28 Mar 11 when the final lines arrived. It is unusual in the manner of its birth, each of the lines [except for the last two] appeared individually on Twitter at random times each day and was, only later, compiled into the complete form now presented here.





Fragments Of A Day - 21 Mar 11

Drifting into a dark afternoon
Wherein some shattered fragments
Of the sundered worlds
And tattered wings against the eyes of night
Held firm
As sunlight fades fast into the starlight realm

Stardrift across an endless dark
Pinprick jewels pierce the night
Shattered shards of crystal
Illumined from within
Illuminating a path
Toward a dawn





Unusual in another way too, I almost forgot what the preceeding lines were, when each new line was formed.
This is a rather different poem - comments, as usual, are welcomed.
