The ancient words.

Riddles      -     03 Jan 22 

You speak to me 

In riddles which hurt 

You sing in the morning 

With words that were old 

Even then 

And nobody 

Learned the tongue 

Yet still you knew 

. 

The words which were old when the world was young.

Attraction

This poem grew from a framework of just the four words which form the opening lines of each stanza.





Attraction  -  30 Nov 13

Words
I heard you speak
Your words
Warm honeyed
Calling me

Lips
Brushed mine
Soft angel wings
Enticing

Eyes
Entrancing alluring
Shaping touch
Through sight

You
Complete me





I Love the way these grow almost by themselves.

Broken  -  09 May 10

I broke my own Heart
I dropped it ... you picked it up
Held it close to yours


Smile  -  10 May 10

Speak your smile, even
When nobody can see you
They will catch one too


Join  -  11 May 10

I said ... join with me
Come let us explore our world
All our tomorrows


Pout  -  11 May 10

Said ~ "I'm not happy"
Gave me a pout to prove it ...
I had to kiss it


Suspense  -  12 May 10

Aching ... no answer
Suspense is messing with me
Does she think of me?





There are a lot more to come...
