Capricious

.

Stories can be fun.

Capricious        -         19 Dec 22 

Listen to the rain 

His capricious games 

Give rise to some 

Intriguing stories 

Some of which 

Can be believed 

. 

Do not believe everything you hear. 

. 

Ale House

.

Where "reality" and "imagination" overlap. 

.

Ale House        -        02 Apr 22

Home now 

Remembering where 

I have been 

What I have done 

Wondering if it 

Was really me 

Or stories I heard

In an ale house 

. 

Sometimes impossible to tell them apart.

. 

Dreamer Dreamed

.

Subtle changes can make a world of difference.

Dreamer Dreamed       -      20 May 21 

The Poet and the Dreamer

Dreamed the stories 

Of his lives

One day he discovered 

That the dreams

Were a little different 

And that someone else

Was steering them 

Now he was living

In a different dreamers dream

.

And all because... 

. 

Hourglass

.

Watch and listen. 

. 

Hourglass     -    11 Mar 20 

Sand 

Through a narrow hole 

Seconds 

Carried on the grains 

Time 

Measured by the fall 

Hourglass 

Tells the stories again 

. 

No matter how many times the stories are told, there is always something to be learned.

. 

Telling Stones

.

The storyteller speaks again. 

. 

Telling Stones    -   10 Dec 19 

In a world which 

Has always existed 

The storyteller 

Weaves a new tale 

Stolen from the edge 

Stones carry ancient 

Stories from 

Beyond the end 

Before the beginning 

Just telling stories 

To appease and please 

The spirits who always 

Have been 

. 

Have you listened to the storyteller? 

. 

Rain Singer

.

Listen to the songs. 

. 

Rain Singer    - 14 Nov 19 

The voice of the rain 

As it passes through the branches 

Memories awakened 

From the distant past 

Into the far future 

The singer remembers 

Tells the stories again 

. 

Listen to the stories.

Sea Mirage

.
Images are presented in many ways and in interesting places.

.
Sea Mirage     -    24 Feb 19

Waves draw an image
Across the skies
Whisps of hidden stories
A mirage over the sea
Tells the saga
Of forgotten dreamers
As the dreams fade
Along with those who dreamed

.
Dreams tend to fade but sometimes watching the sea can bring them back.

.

Tales

.
Listen to the storyteller and warm yourself by the fireside.

.
Tales    -   29 Aug 18

Old and new
Stories flow
From the tellers
At the fireside

Tales of mystery
Of bravery
And maidens
Hearts won

Now live and create
A new tale
For the storytellers
To recount

.
The story is in the living and the telling.

Homo Sapiens Nocturnis

A little touch of strangeness.





Homo Sapiens Nocturnis  -  06 Jul 17

The stories had circulated

For centuries

About the Nightwalkers

Myths and facts

Intermingled

Till one was indistinguishable

From the other

But

Have you seen them?

Spinning Tales

Fireside myths ~ passing the stories on to the next generation.





Spinning Tales  -  03 Nov 15

Stories woven
At the fireside
Loom of myth
Threads of history
Intermingled
With the spice
Of fantasy
The tales
Keep us entranced
Till the fabric is complete
Then we ask
For more
And the spinning
Threads
Begins anew





Often the best way to learn.

Stories

Stories about Love songs and Lust songs.





Stories  -  22 Dec 14

You never told me
The stories of you
Or how we came to be
Together now

You never read
My stories on my lips
Though you tasted them …
Lingered on certain words

You never hid
Anything from me
Our stories woven together
With kisses
