Open In The Night

.

The worlds are awake even when the inhabitants are sleeping.

Open In The Night     -     07 Feb 20 

A dark world 

Encased 

In the thoughts 

Of the sleeping 

Dreams 

Open in the night 

To show a different 

Place 

Explore in mind 

Dreams can carry 

Wishes 

To the new 

. 

Exploration is always possible.

Rain Kisses

Little touches in the night.

Rain Kisses   -   15 Jul 18

Sleeping
Awakened gently
By rain kisses
Across my skin
Soft touches
From the sky
To say hello

.
This is what happens when sleeping next to an open window.

Dreams Within Dreams

I have this type of dream fairly often.





Dreams Within Dreams  -  12 Feb 17

I woke into a dream

Sleeping deeply

Then I woke

And got out of bed

Into a dream

You were there

Then I woke

And …

Awake

Or asleep

How can I tell

If I am asleep

Or awake

Or ...

Confusing and sometimes quite exhausting.

We Dreamed

One of those times when, in dream or life, all Lovely things are possible.





We Dreamed  -  08 Apr 16

Sleeping
Not sleeping
There seemed to be
No difference
We were always
In a dream
In our dream
Where all the things
We want
Are possible





When the two states overlap wonders are formed.

Waking Sleeping

One of those mornings when at least two versions of reality are valid at the same time.





Waking Sleeping  -  06 Aug 15

In a
Waking sleeping
Dream
Not certain which
Or which direction
I am looking
You visited me
In my
Sleeping wakefulness
Tempted me
Remain asleep





The temptation is always valid.

Afternoon  -  31 May 10

Now the afternoon
Lets slip the tears she has held
Rain is falling now


Cover  -  31 May 10

Cover me gently
With dreams ... my sleeping body
does not want to wake


Cloak  -  01 Jun 10

Your cloak, accepted,
wraps me ~ covers me in dream
Lets me sleep in peace


Question  -  01 Jun 10

Drifting through my day
Feeling your Love around me
Of that ... no question


Words  -  02 Jun 10

Sitting in the night
Listening to all your words
bring your Love to me





There will be more soon.

Whispers

A windy afternoon, I heard her whispers and felt her presence - Muse has different ways of making herself known and offering suggestions for a new poem.





Whispers - 13 Sep 11

Lightly stepping on the boards
Her breath
Soft
Whispers
Her eyes
Gleaming
Expectation shivers

Delicate fingers
Open the door
She watches his sleeping form
Smiles
Whispers
Her lips
Licked
Anticipation

Slipping beside him
Not touching
Just watching
In his dream he
Whispers
Her name
She enters
His dream





I love the way Muse works to offer ideas and suggestions, her assistance is always welcomed.
