Living Through

Dream song with a hint of the surreal in the way dreams present themselves.





Living Through  -  27 May 16

Dream
Enfolding
Petals wrap us
As we watch
Dream opens

The stream still flows
Carrying our thoughts
Our wishes
To mingle with the waves
Flow over the sand

Seagulls know our song
But whisper it softly
To the roses
As we wander
Through the dream

Bamboo wind chimes
Gently wake
Our dream
Allow us to
Live through





This is also the first of a new breed of poem I shall be calling "poème ballants" ~ the dangling poem, one which seems to have no definite end.

Rhythmic Pulse

A poem with a hint of Love song and a hint of  "limite surréaliste" as well.





Rhythmic Pulse  -  28 Jan 15

Phantom noises
Counterpointed by rain
Rhythmically beating
Heart dance sweep
Collect the flowers
Bouquet of Hearts
Presented with a smile
Accepted gracefully
Roses tint the air
And the phantom drum roll
Rolls on





 I offer a bouquet of Hearts.

 

Brides Tales

I was trying to get to sleep when words kept wandering through my mind, Muse insisted that I made a note of them or they would be forgotten.
I feel that I should make the inspiration points here; "Dawn bride's veil" comes from the first line of "Islands", one of the records by King Crimson.  The hint from John Keats - "Ode to Autumn" is in the first line of his poem and a subtle reminder of "Fires At Midnight" the song from Jethro Tull completes the list of what I can see here.
On with my poem ...





Brides Tales  -  02 Nov 13

Dawn bride
Her veil captures the wind
Bends it to her will
Her perfume fills the sky
Holds me

Bride in the afternoon
The mellow fruits
Of autumn
Share her sweet smile
Intoxicating

Evening bride
Fires glow in the hearth
Giving cheerful light
Not as warm
As her Love

Bride of night
Rich crimson blossoms
Of the midnight feast
Roses before dawn
We share




It is really good when Muse nags me to get things written so they remain to be posted here.

Random Wishes

This poem was birthed in the afternoon and I found that the images, both visual and in other sensual forms, started to grow in my mind and I felt that I just had to write it out.





Random Wishes  -  08 May 13


Taste the colours
And ask for a song
To be played
Something soft
In a magenta minor key
To clothe the dreams
I have of you

Smell the words
Roses and honeysuckle
Sketch an image in my mind
Where your song
Plays … gently
And the images of you
Shine brightly

Touch the memories
Held close
And intimate in me
Shared by you forever
Forever ours
To live whenever
We choose

I find that the methods Muse uses to attract my attention are totally fascinating.
