Sweet Memories        -        11 Oct 21

Gentle breeze and warm sunshine

The sweet memories flow again

Taking me back to where 

She first entered my life 

I gather them up to savour the thoughts 

And I am in that time-stream again 

. 

A Lovely stream.

You Changed Me

.

This is what happens when someone special comes into your life.

You Changed Me     -     14 Aug 20 

My life was ordinary 

Quiet 

Without surprise 

Then you came 

Into my life 

Brought something 

Different 

Wonderful 

You fill my days 

With sunshine 

You fill my nights 

With the glory 

Of starlight 

You changed me

Thank you for the 

Beauty 

You bring me 

. 

Every day is like this for me. 

. 

Afternoons

.

Dreaming of the one special person. 

. 

Afternoons    -    03 May 20 

Slow days 

Hazy afternoons 

In the sunshine 

Dreaming of the times 

We share 

Awaiting your arrival 

In another 

Of our afternoons 

. 

Wonderful dreams. 

. 

Winds Of Winter

Seasonal comparison as the year rotates.

Winds Of Winter   -   23 Jul 18

In summer
Warm sunshine
Illuminates the Heart
Thoughts of Love
Grow and fill the world
But the tide
Is growing thin
And the
Winds of winter
Still blow

.
Can you feel the wind?

.

Take My Hand

A happy invitation.





Take My Hand  -  15 May 17

In sunshine

We walk

Weave our story

Plan how we will live

In our sun

Hand in hand

We walk on

Walking in sunshine ~ always.

Dark Times

One of those poems where I play with thoughts and concepts.





Dark Times  -  25 Apr 16

In the midst of sunshine
A drift of dark
Unexpected
Foreshadowing
Perhaps
Boding of unwelcome times
Or just a cloud
Passing before the sun
Wait and see





Hoping that it is just a cloud.

Time Shadow

Another owl story linked into time.





Time Shadow  -  26 Oct 15

Gnomon marking moments
Sparkles with the memories
Scattered back
In the silence of the night
Owls gather the daysong
Diamonds glisten
Remembering
Those wonderful moments
Created through the days
In the sunshine





A sundial is a magical way of marking the passing of time.

Dark June

This was written on the first day of the month and, contrary to weather lore it was not "flaming June".





Dark June  -  01 Jun 15

No fractured ray
Of sunshine
To break between
The raindrops
Incessant sound
Of dripping
Outside my window
Cold day
Dark June
Tells dark tales
Into the night





The weather gods Love playing their little jokes.

Drips

An experiment in a simple "poème concret" just to see how it will work here.





Drips  -  08 Mar 15

Drip
A slow cascade
Of ancient dreams
Drip
Moving through
The gates of memory
Drip
Darkness
Eroded by light
Drip
Afternoon sunshine
Drizzles through branches
Drip
I am floating free
On
Drip





I can almost hear the drips.

I Wonder

A Love song, written in a folk ballad style, with a touch of melancholy.





I Wonder  -  28 Oct 13

A tall ship stands
In the western harbour
And I wonder
Who she is waiting for

A soft wind
Gathers the scent of spice
From the sea
To carry it across the land

I remember those mellow days
Filled with warm sunshine
And I wonder
Who is waiting there now

A sweet voice
Gathers my memories
From wherever they lie
To carry them back to me

A gentle touch of a soft hand
Wakes the Love within me
And I wonder
Shall I see her again?





This was born just after the one posted yesterday, it came as something of a surprise to me when it emerged.

Haikū 35

After a long gap I present another selection from my hand-written archives of Haikū.
All these originate from 03 May 10





Wind 

Strong wind from the sea
Carry thoughts, distant places
To blow through my mind


Darkness 

And in the darkness
Dreams gather in the corners
Waiting to catch you


Lonely

Talking to myself
... again, only I listen
Lonely sometimes though


Unusual

Dream walking, again
I am awake while asleep
Not unusual


Sunshine

Standing in sunshine
Feeling the warmth flow through me
Reminds me of you





There will be more soon.
