Cavalcade

.

A universal chess game. 

. 

Cavalcade         -       24 Oct 22

Night makes the closing moves 

Day conseeds defeat 

They both clear the board 

To prepare for the cavalcade 

Of stars 

. 

An honourable game between well-matched players. 

. 

Selene

.

A beautiful Lover. 

. 

Selene         -         06 Sep 22 

Selene Moon dancer

She waited among 

The stars for my return 

Knowing I would be back

That our Love

Would grow again 

. 

Most beautiful.

. 

Hallway

.

The path is clear.

. 

Hallway        -        10 May 22

The doors in the hallway 

All lead to the same dream

Across the stars 

Through midnight 

When dark reveals 

The paths to knowing

. 

It might be the same dream but it is much larger than you think.

. 

I Dreamed You

.

A deeper connection between two people. 

. 

I Dreamed You       -       03 May 22

I dreamed you 

Last night 

In the stars 

Again you took me 

You gave me you 

We danced together 

In the Moonlight 

. 

More than just a dream. 

. 

Ultramarine

.

A lovely colour.

. 

Ultramarine         -        19 Apr 22

Looking deep in the night sky

Above and beyond the sea

Between the stars all that shows 

The dark ultramarine of home 

. 

Looking into the blue.

. 

Sun And Moon

.

A dream reminder. 

. 

Sun And Moon       -       01 Mar 22 

Between Sun and Moon 

I stand

Watching the shadows 

Crawl

Across the stars

Reflected by 

The waters in the lake

And echoed 

By the clouds 

The Sun and Moon 

Talk to me

Whisper the shadows 

Back to

The darkness they 

Were born 

. 

Watch them move. 

. 

Sunset

.

Always too early at this time of year.

. 

Sunset       -       19 Feb 22 

Sunset draws near

Nightingale contemplates

The first song under

The canopy of stars 

. 

I used to hear them when I lived in London.

. 

Midnight

.

Sometimes I get the best answers this way. 

. 

Midnight       -       14 Feb 22

Midnight 

In the eternal moment

When silence reigns 

I turn to the stars 

To ask 

Where now 

. 

Sometimes Midnight asks questions of me. 

. 

Diamonds And Blue

.

Observations on what is.

. 

Diamonds And Blue         -       31 Jan 22

Across the night sky 

Diamonds scattered 

To gather the light 

Of a myriad stars 

And in the day sky

Blue satin wraps 

The hills of our dreams 

And gives wings to them

Diamonds and blue

Shine on always 

Giving form to dreams

Words to the thoughts 

. 

Is beauty and tranquility. 

. 

Song Of Promise

.

Nocturnal quest. 

. 

Song Of Promise        -       20 Jan 22

Through the night 

I wander watching

For the shower of stars 

Hoping to hear the song

Of promise 

. 

Occasionally I hear a few notes.

. 

Serenade

.

A song of dream. 

. 

Serenade       -       18 Jan 22 

The Moon danced 

As the Sun set 

And the stars 

Sang in chorus 

To serenade

The coming dream 

Of midnight 

. 

Such a beautiful song. 

. 

Underway

.

A long journey has begun. 

.

Underway       -       19 Apr 21 

Engines sing their soft song

Telling us that all is well 

Harbour is a long way off

Gone from our sight 

We are underway

To a new land 

Will the stars welcome us

.

A really long journey between the worlds. 

. 

Starway

.

Everyone climbs the stairway, I go to the stars. 

. 

Starway     -     11 Nov 20 

In all the ages 

I have walked the worlds 

Through the endless 

Eternal dark 

I climbed the starway 

To find where 

It may lead 

Stars at my feet 

And all around me 

. 

What a Lovely view. 

. 

Dark Tide

.

I have seen this. 

. 

Dark Tide      -      19 Oct 20 

Stars washed 

In a sea of darkness 

Night claims the tide 

In the formless waves 

Nestling in the dark 

Beneath the phantom cliffs 

. 

All around is darkness. 

. 

Dusk Speaks

.

Something beautiful to listen to in the evening. 

. 

Dusk Speaks     -     18 Jul 20 

In the gathering hush 

Light merging with dark 

In soft colours 

Muted purple 

Carries the afternoon 

Away 

As dusk speaks 

In quiet tones 

To welcome the stars 

. 

Always worth listening. 

. 

Welcome

.

Not a time I see too often but I am aware of it. 

. 

Welcome     -     14 Jul 20 

Morning shatters the night 

Light grows in intensity 

To welcome the day

Dance on into the world 

Take your song with you 

Scatter the stars in your wake 

. 

New days, no matter when they are experienced, are always welcome. 

. 

Last Ocean

.

Journeying with hope. 

. 

Last Ocean     -     26 Apr 20 

A ship unnamed 

On an uncharted journey 

Sailing the last ocean 

With hope 

Surrounded by stars 

. 

No maps can show the way. 

. 

In Darkness

.

The voice can be heard quite clearly. 

. 

In Darkness     -    05 Apr 20 

Moon smiles again 

In darkness 

Can you understand 

Her song in the dream 

She sings every night 

There is no choir 

Just a single voice 

Carries the song 

To the wind 

To share with the stars 

. 

Are you listening? 

. 

Waiting [Haiku]

.

Just observing. 

. 

Waiting [Haiku]     -    15 Mar 20

The edge of the world 

Watching the stars draw patterns

Across the waiting sky 

. 

The patterns are there for the seeing. 

. 

Waiting For You

.

Waiting is good when you know the end point. 

. 

Waiting For You      -    19 Dec 19 

Dreamstate 

Stars above the desert 

Sand welcomes my feet 

I stand looking 

At the point where 

Sunrise will happen 

Waiting for you 

. 

I know the end point. 

.
