Blank Page

.

Feeling very uncomfortable when this happens.

. 

Blank Page        -       02 Mar 22

The paper is 

Waiting for a mark 

From a pen 

Driven by a hand

That wants to say 

Something 

But the mind is 

As blank as the page

And the mark never comes 

. 

Still waiting. 

. 

Note

.

I wonder what I would do if I found something like this. 

.

Note       -       18 Aug 21 

A little piece of paper

Found in a book 

An invitation to a

Clandestine meeting 

On the paper a few words

Bring this note with you 

To prove you really found it

Then we shall 

.

The dangling suggestion is quite interesting. 

. 

New Images

.

Drawing without moving. 

.

New Images      -     09 May 21 

Watching the paper

Wishing new images 

Would appear by themselves

Without the need for 

Weary hands to intervene

When do they appear 

.

Magic paper or a powerful mind? 

. 

Fragment

.

Observations on a day and the weather. 

. 

Fragment    -    04 Aug 20 

On a pool of water 

After the rain 

Drops disturb the tranquility 

A fragment of paper floats 

Ink gradually flowing away 

Just a couple of words 

Still remain 

love you 

The rain takes the Love message 

To keep it 

For itself 

. 

The back story would be fascinating. 

. 

Finding

.
Things you come across when clearing up your space.

Finding   -    06 Sep 18

Going through some old things
Finding some forgotten memories
Trapped on scraps of paper

Some so forgotten
That the words mean nothing
To me anymore

What did I do
What was I thinking
I will never know

Disposing of the fragments
No memories remain
Except in the void

.
Curious sense of freedom but with a nagging feeling of loss.

.

Finding Messages

Little pieces of paper or cards can hold memories.





Finding Messages  -  24 Feb 18

Going through old papers

I find some interesting

Memories

Worda written

By special people

Who once filled my life

Or now fill my Love

Finding messages

Take me to them

To see them again

Sitting in my office reading.

Eternal Images

A selection of traditional and modern Haikū and Senryū for today's offerings.





Eternal Images  -  14 Mar 15

A whisper heard once
Never forgotten
Through Eternity

You ~ always with me
In my dreams or while awake
Loving companion

Your words have touched me
In my Heart and on my Soul
Leaving your whisper

My Heart sings with you
Joy filled moments in my life
Eternity ~ too small

A piece of paper
You sketched me and created
The image of Love





All three lines but sometimes the syllable count makes it "modern".

 

Words Fail

Undelivered Love song.





Words Fail  -  09 Feb 15

Crumpled paper
Cast on the floor
Another failed Love letter
Wondering why
I cannot say
In writing
What I want to say
When I meet you
Wondering why
I cannot say
In words
What I want to say
When I see you
Tongue-tied
A Love song
Sung in silence
I wish you could hear it





I wonder how many people find themselves in a similar position, luckily I find the words flow rather well.

 

Silent Whispers

Entrusting the whispers to the Universe.





Silent Whispers  -  22 Nov 14

Silence holds us
Wraps the candle
Warm flicker
Burns the paper
On which
The secrets of our Love
Entrusted
To the flame
Ash still holds the words
Smoke carries the whisper
From us
To the Universe





Warm whispers shared between Lovers.

Circles

A poem with just a hint of "limite surréaliste".





Circles  -  05 Oct 14

Circles
Everywhere
Touch us
Sand
Ephemeral
Whisper to the sea
Paper
Can be lost
Whisper to the sky
Souls
Eternal
We always know
Remember
Whisper forever
Forever





Sometimes I wonder where the inspiration comes for these poems.
 

Watercolour

I was wondering what to write when I was suddenly aware of the rain beating against my window.  In that moment the poem arrived almost fully-formed in my mind.





Watercolour  -  29 Dec 13

Brush slips over the paper
Wet line of colour
Forms shapes
Fills out the detail
Image of the one I Love
Now held forever
For me

Rain falls
Outlines her shape
In the air
Three-dimensional watercolour
Painted in my Heart
For me to keep
Forever





I Love these offerings from Muse.

Broken Love Letter

In that space between wake and dream words surround me, Muse suggests an idea and lets me write.





Broken Love Letter  -  05 Mar 13


Past tense
Future uncertain
Now?
All I know is I miss you
Missing your touch
Missing your kisses

Awaiting your return …
Smiles I show to others
Just a pale reflection
Of the smiles I give to you
… Calling you back
To me

Torn paper
Empty pen
Words lost in tears
I kissed your memory
Wrote your name in tears
Called you back

Thoughts and memories, sketched on virtual paper on a computer screen.

Haikū 57

Another little selection from the hand-written Haikū archives.
