Sleet Hissing

.

Sudden random sound. 

. 

Sleet Hissing         -       14 Jan 23 

The effect of tiny ice 

On a plastic roof 

Is quite starting 

When unexpected 

Sleet hissing 

At me 

. 

Is it trying to make a point. 

. 

Connecting

.

One of those Lovely times.

. 

Connecting        -        27 Oct 22

A dream comes true 

As an unexpected 

But longed-for message 

Arrived as I watched

Connecting with you again 

. 

Feelings refreshed after too long. 

. 

Dark Dreams

.

Dreams come in many flavours.

Dark Dreams        -        06 Aug 22 

The sun not long set 

Sky is already dark

Dreams fill the night

Pull my vision 

Into new places 

Unexpected things 

In the dreams 

. 

Sometimes the dark ones are more interesting.

. 

Rose

.

Inspired by a new friend. 

. 

Rose       -       03 Jul 22

The unexpected rose 

Fire in the bramble 

Pale blush as

The secret unfolds 

Flag unfurled 

Dancing against the sky 

Echoes the rose 

Dancing against the green

. 

Always dancing. 

. 

Moon Dreaming

.

Oceans of the Moon.

Moon Dreaming      -      08 Jun 22 

Moments of tranquility 

Moon dreaming

In an imaginary sea 

I explore the space between 

Finding unexpected locations 

On the islands 

. 

The islands are not mentioned.

Love Reflected

.

A Lovely image. 

. 

Love Reflected       -       02 Jan 22 

I looked into your eyes

Unexpected I saw me 

Seeing with your eyes 

I saw Love reflected 

. 

The eyes of the one special person.

. 

Questioning Why

.

Continually thinking this way lays the seeds of paranoia.

. 

Questioning Why       -       19 Nov 21

Unexpected things 

Happen when least prepared

Often due to events 

From sources which are

Beyond control 

Questioning why they should 

Affect me personally

. 

I never know.

. 

Questions Left Unanswered

.

They are so frustrating. 

. 

Questions Left Unanswered          -        30 Oct 21

The unexpected things 

Still lurking in the dark 

Often spring out

To confront and disturb 

With the questions

Which are left unanswered

Despite being probed 

Repeatedly 

. 

It is often the things which are not answered that are the most disturbing.

. 

Walking Through The World [Haiku]

.

This Haiku was unexpected. 

. 

Walking Through The World [Haiku]      -     08 Oct 21

Watching out for things 

Unexpected visions are 

Walking through the world

. 

It works though.

. 

Watching The World

.

Who is watching whom? 

. 

Watching The World       -      20 Sep 21 

Eyes 

In unexpected places 

Often never noticed 

Until a subtle change 

Is seen

My eyes 

Veiled until I look

Then I am seeing 

Watching the world 

Watching me 

. 

See for yourself.

. 

When

.

One of the questions which is difficult to answer. 

.

When       -      23 May 21 

A little unexpected change

Can result in a shift 

In awareness

When all things 

Accumulate and gather

And when becomes how 

.

Always feeling these shifts. 

. 

Dreams Outside

.

Sometimes waking and not knowing where you are. 

. 

Dreams Outside       -      23 Feb 21 

They happen everywhere 

Sometimes in unexpected places 

The mind goes 

Where it desires 

Often outside the body 

Where it dreams 

In ways that nothing 

Can understand 

. 

One possible explanation. 

. 

Change

.

Observe as you can. 

. 

Change       -       06 Jan 21 

Often a moment offers 

Something unexpected 

Leading into a different place 

A change of location 

Shelter in the new 

Let the world pass 

Gather the forms of 

Change 

. 

It happens all the time, just be aware. 

. 

Thinking

.

Look around, the evidence is everywhere. 

. 

Thinking    -    03 Jun 20 

How the world has changed 

Shifted in ways 

Unexpected 

How the ways of thinking 

Have altered 

Taking new paths 

Into the unknown future 

. 

Will you go too? 

. 

Things

.

They are always waiting. 

. 

Things     -     18 Feb 20 

Shaped from the unexpected forms 

Waiting at the bottom of thought 

Are the things which trouble 

Tease and slip into the mind 

While the night still holds dream 

. 

Do not let them hold you. 

. 

Expect

.

Nothing is ever quite what you think. 

. 

Expect     -    31 Jan 20 

Things are waiting 

For the unwary 

They lurk in shadows 

Ready to reach out 

Snag a leg 

Expect the unexpected 

. 

Be ready. 

. 

Touching

.

Preparing to take a look at something different. 

. 

Touching    -    15 Jan 20 

Tiny moments in the flow 

When unexpected events 

Slide through 

From one side to another 

Worlds touching 

Bringing a different perspective 

Touch the other 

. 

Because of the touch a different world opens. 

. 

Edge Of Forever

.

Another take on the idea of The Fool [Tarot 0].

.

Edge Of Forever    -   31 Dec 19 

Taken me 

From ordinary reality 

To a place where 

The unexpected is normal 

Inviting me 

To step forward 

Into the unknown from 

The edge of forever 

. 

Take the step... 

. 

Dreams Often Seem

.

This is how dreams often appear. 

. 

Dreams Often Seem     -    14 Dec 19 

Dreams allow an 

Explication 

Into places 

Where access is not 

Usually permitted 

Often giving visitors 

A view of unreality 

And unexpected things 

Giviing an opportunity 

To explore 

Seem to have 

A life of their own 

Sometime Eldrich 

Always unexpected 

Beware explorer 

. 

A little experiment in which the title is the first word of each stanza.

Confusing

.
I have a lot of confused thoughts.

.
Confusing    -    23 May 19

Talking to myself
Contradictory sentiments
Scatter my thoughts
In unexpected directions
I am confusing myself
As the thoughts fly
No one else can see
What remains in my head

.
The images confuse me. Is this a sign of madness?
