Lost Days

.

Maybe they can be recovered. 

.

Lost Days       -      05 May 21 

Stretched between

Sunrise and sunset 

A gauze filament

Of remembered hours 

Tie together elements

Of the lost days 

I hope to find

Eventually 

.

I wonder if anyone can help. 

. 

In Evening's Light

Watching the one special person.

.

In Evening's Light        -      29 Apr 21 

In the glow of sunset

I watch 

I see you

Evening's gentle mood

Carries me to where 

You wait for me

Light shines from your Heart

Love fills my world and 

My Heart

.

Thank you. 

. 

Watching The Stars Dance

.

Sometimes just the stars. 

. 

Watching The Stars Dance      -     18 Jan 21 

After a day 

With cloud covering the sky 

Sunset brings promise 

As the clouds part 

Night arrives quietly 

Eyes look upward 

Watching the stars dance 

. 

Sometimes the Moon joins in. 

. 

The Image Of Darkness

.
Continuing the dark theme with the poem today.

.
The Image Of Darkness   -  02 Aug 19

In the shadows
That surround me
As I try to escape
The darkness
Which holds
The image of a fading
Summer sunset
Taunting me
With collapsing memories
Fading further into
Darkness

.
Looking into the dark of the world.

.

Smoked Sun

An observation in the afternoon.

Smoke Sun    -   02 Aug 18

Before sunset
A clouded sky
The sun is smoked
Into darkness
Before darkness falls
Across the world

.
Curious effect.

.

Summer

A little Love song.





Summer  -  23 Jun 18

Wishful dreaming

While watching

A sunset

Wishing

You could be here

In my summer

To watch the sunset

With me

For YOU.

 

Blackbird

Another modern Haikū today.





Blackbird  -  23 Jun 17

Sunset just over

A solitary blackbird calls

In the gathering dark

An observation of auditory beauty.

Dreams Of Midnight

Observation of time.





Dreams Of Midnight  -  17 Jun 17

When the day turns into night

Sunset painted fire

Across the sky

Thoughts turn to

Star-filled vistas

Midnight adds new hues

To the dreams we have

Stars in the fire.

Venus Bathes

A tiny song today.





Venus Bathes  -  17 Jan 17

After sunset

Her robes set aside

As gold fills the sky

She steps into the ocean

Beauty refreshed.

Infinity Of Day

All that is required each day is that eyes are opened to the wonders.





Infinity Of Day  ~  14 May 16

In that fleeting moment
Between
Sunrise and sunset
All things are possible
All things are born
And in those moments
Reality is reshaped
For us to see
Everything





Wonders are everywhere.

Painted Stars

A lyrical observation.





Painted Stars  -  30 Mar 16

Palette of fire
Sunset draws
A dark curtain
Across the day
Allowing colours
To flow from the sky
Painted stars





Can you see the song?

Doors Of Sunset

An invitation to a special journey.





Doors Of Sunset  -  10 Feb 16

Dark winter
Shattered ice
Drops from the skies

Another time and place
The doors of sunset
Open to the stars

An invitation to the journey
Between the suns
The doors are always open





Would you like to come on a journey?

Thinking

One of those little Love songs.





Thinking  -  03 Oct 15

Opening of the day

Moving from light to night

Takes my thoughts

Down random paths

Finding me after sunset

In a land of mystery

Leading me

To somewhere only you

Can take me

Your offer of

A night in shining stardust

Always thinking about YOU

Other Side

Another poem in the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence.





Other Side  -  27 Jun 15

The other side of sunset
Unexpected colours
Illuminate the way
Five thousand miles
Sounds so far
And yet
Distant yet together
We watch
In our world
In our dream
Another sunrise





I rather like these long-distance stories.

Dream Call

The Lovely moments around sunset.





Dream Call  -  14 Mar 15

In painted hours
As images drift
Behind the sunset
And start to call the dreams
From their hiding places
I wait
I watch
For you to join me
I call your name
Our dream answers
We are together





So often sunset is the Loveliest time.

 

Journey In Light

Visions of the Ultimate reality.





Journey In Light  -  06 Feb 15

Infinity in a sunrise
Movements of crystal light
Shine into us
Through us
Beyond into the Universe

Eternity in a sunset
Drift into the timelessness
Between light and dark
Shared with the stars
Forever journeying





Journeying beyond this reality.

 

Simple Pleasures

A Love song written from the end to the start point.  I rather like the tracking back to where it begins.





Simple Pleasures  -  22 Jun 14

Simple pleasures
~ ~ ~
Watching a slow sunset
In the warmth
Of an evening
~ ~ ~
Long cold drink
To recover from
The heat of the day
~ ~ ~
Gentle walk on a cool morning
To watch the sea
Dance with the shore
~ ~ ~
Long slow sweet kisses
From a Lover
To start the day





I find this form curiously satisfying.

Verge Of Tears

I do not often write sad songs and poems but when I do they are always Heart-felt.  Publishing this slightly out of sequence, it should appear a couple of days from now, but I felt that it was important for me to show this now.





Verge Of Tears  -  24 Jun 14

Walking in sadness
Disconsolate
On the verge of tears
Because of misunderstood
Words

Sitting in silence
Wrapped in the gathering gloom
Of after sunset
Feeling my Soul
Has been torn

Then the tears fell
Salty rain upon my cheeks
Accompanied by the silent
Thunder of an headache
Sad dance





Just something to say how I feel.

Shards Of Stars

A little poem inspired by seeing the full Moon.





Shards Of Stars  -  12 Jun 14

Drifting between
Sunset and Moonrise
Painted sky
Holds the myth
Of the shattered day
Soon all that will be seen
Are the star-shards
In the Moon-lit sky





In the silence of the night the stars sing.

Together At Sunset

A blend of old memories and new wishes brings a new Love song into the sunset moment.





Together At Sunset  -  11 Jan 14

Sitting
In the window seat
Watching the sun set
Into the ocean
On a long
Slow
Warm afternoon
Bringing thoughts of you
To sit with me
Listen to the gulls
As they wheel
And cry
Over the waves
Our Eternity
Together





I can clearly see both parts of the story.
