Fiction

.

Truth is never told.

Fiction       -       05 Jan 23 

Forgotten ways 

The myth of history 

Fiction told by the victors 

To justify their actions 

After the events 

. 

Truth can be found.

Hob Watching

Not a catering poem.

Hob Watching       -     20 Feb 21 

On the Devil's Lane 

A subtle movement 

Betrays the presence 

Of the watcher 

His shadowy from 

Tells of his origins 

In the shadows of day 

The myth creators 

From the chapels 

Decorate his head 

With horns 

But those who know him 

Speak a different name 

He is not Hob 

Watching the world 

. 

I suspect some readers will not like this poem.

Many Songs

Things grow from layer to layer.

Many Songs    -   02 Jan 20 

Words woven by the magic 

Into delicate patterns 

Singers take the patterns 

To enchant the listeners 

Many songs take the story 

From listener to listener 

And the myth is born 

. 

Watch for the myths.

Drinking Mysteries

Exploring the mysteries in every way possible.





Drinking Mysteries  -  26 May 17

Swallow

Breathe in

The myth expands

In unexpected ways

Drinking the thoughts

Opening the way through

Into the mysteries

They all taste different.

Spinning Tales

Fireside myths ~ passing the stories on to the next generation.





Spinning Tales  -  03 Nov 15

Stories woven
At the fireside
Loom of myth
Threads of history
Intermingled
With the spice
Of fantasy
The tales
Keep us entranced
Till the fabric is complete
Then we ask
For more
And the spinning
Threads
Begins anew





Often the best way to learn.

Five Thousand Miles And More

I had wanted to add another chapter to the "Five Thousand Miles" saga for quite some time but it was only a few of days ago when it appeared.





Five Thousand Miles And More  -  16 Feb 15

Five Thousand Miles
Outside my head
Living in a world
Of dream
And myth
Where you come
Visiting
Accompanied by a Unicorn
To sing a duet
With me
Unicorn watches
Sings a counterpoint
For us





Really hoping this saga will continue even further.

 

Kisses

I now offer a slightly different Love song.





Kisses  -  18 Dec 13

From a darkened sky
A thin Moon watches
As kisses draw a line
Between the stars

Constellations no longer
Denote the myth of the past
Now they show our future
Kisses pull us on

Let us follow the path
We are being shown
Share kisses and us
Into our Infinity





Love is the same - just the words are different.

Map of the Dream

After my comments in the outro of the last poem posted here, in which I stated that I didn't know if there were going to be more in the "Map" series, Muse presented me with ideas for yet another poem.  It has to be said that, I now feel that there are even more to come.





Map of the Dream  -  24 Apr 13


Wrapped in our dreams
Feeling the icicles of night
Chiming in discord
Hearing old words
Ring out

The cracked bell of dream
An impress of dark
Glides against the Moon
And shatters her myth
As we watch

Asking for the dawn to break
Fracture
A crack of light welcomed
But is it the sun
Or …

Darkness returns
To claim the thoughts
Fantasies fly to taunt the passing
Mares …
We await the next dream

When these new poems are to arrive I cannot guess but I am waiting ...

Dream of You

Listening to the echoes of a dream.  Hearing me call...





Dream of You  -  26 Jan 13


My dream
Is on its way
To carry you home
To me

A wish born
Of gentle chords
Sung by the wind
Written on the air

A kiss in the night
Before the Moon
Saw us
Whisper the darkness away

The cloak of winds
Wrapped us in shadow
Dream borne
Cascading myth

Ride my dream my Love
Fly through the
Formless dark
Come back to me





Again I thank Muse for her suggestions and guidance.
