Sometime

.

That secret place. 

. 

Sometime      -     16 Sep 20 

In a misplaced memory 

Still held not forgotten 

In a world 

Sometime thought 

Occasionally whispered 

Then brought out 

Held to lips and kissed 

Then returned 

To the special secret place 

Where 

. 

Where? 

All the wonderful things are kept. 

. 

Enough

.

An observation of the turning year. 

. 

Enough     -     02 Sep 20 

Autumn whispered 

In words of falling leaves

That Summer had given 

Enough this year 

Wanted to rest again 

The last bouquets 

Collected as reminders 

Winter waiting always 

. 

The bouquets never last. 

. 

Little Things [Haiku]

.

A little nighttime Haiku. 

. 

Little Things [Haiku]    -    26 Mar 20

Little things whispered 

In the quiet of the night 

Louder than a shout 

. 

Sometimes whispers can be very loud. 

. 

Silver

.
Connecting...

.
Silver    -    28 Jun 19

The Moon whispered
Words which were never
Spoken aloud
Unless they were accompanied
By the silver kiss
Shared by the Moon

.
Kisses in the night.

.

Dream Kisses

Lovely phantom touch.





Dream Kisses  -  25 Sep 17

As if a phantom touched my lips

Whispered in my ear

The kisses you gave

Still fill my waking hours

I hear you still

As I lie asleep

Calling the phantom back to me

In my dream

We kiss again

Anytime, all the time.

Carefully Chosen Words

Some words are carelessly tossed out but if the real consequences are understood then...





Carefully Chosen Words  -  10 Sep 16

You looked at me

Whispered

I barely heard the sounds

Though my Heart knew

What you said

I composed an answer

We both used three

Carefully chosen words

Looking deep into your eyes

I whispered

I Love YOU

... words should always be carefully chosen.

The Song That Is You

A Love song with a subtle difference.





The Song That Is You  -  14 Mar 16

The song which goes
Round and round
In your head
Are like the words
Of your Lover
When they are not around
The whispered confidences
Statements of Love
Return to play again
And remind you
Remind you





I have felt and heard those words.

Moon Whispers

Those little Love messages carried by a secret messenger.





Moon Whispers  -  23 Dec 15

She carried a message
Whispered words
From my Lover
Telling me how much
She Loved me

The Moon knew
Because I had confided
In her so many times
I feel thart she whispered
To my Lover too





My favourite messenger, always maintains the confidences.

See Offered

A Love song, a Lust song and a little more perhaps.





See Offered  -  10 Sep 15

She whispered to me
Come and see what I can
Offer to you alone
Just a little temptation

I looked and saw
Private delights
Meant for me to see
Special sights

Through her eyes
I looked and saw what
She offered
Sea kisses





I Love playing with words and exploring alternative meaning.

Sea Whispers

Whispers in a Love song.





Sea Whispers  -  19 Apr 15

Whispered in the grass
As we sat and watched
Sea rolling gently
Soft susurration
Carried to our ears
On the afternoon breeze

We whispered
To each other
With the sea as background
Music
For us
Alone

Arms around each other
Wrapped in the sea whisper
Enfolded in our Love
Our lips shared our whisper
In a way which only Lovers
Know how





Shared with the sea.

Painted Light

Another poem with a hint of "limite surréaliste" to add a touch of something else to the feel.





Painted Light  -  13 Jan 15

Soft
Velvet blue
Sky shines with painted light
Fading slowly
Into cloud
Remembering in the rain
How it was
When last we drank
The sky
And whispered the rose
Velvet crimson
Remembering the rain
Soft





How often do we drink the sky?

 

Dream Visitation

A Love song and Lust song too.





Dream Visitation  -  15 Nov 14

You visited me
In my sleep
Gently entered my dream
Smiled
Reached out
Took me by my hand
Leaned forward
Whispered the words
To enchant me
Hold me to you
Forever
There was no need
For I was already
Yours
Forever





I Love these combination songs where the elements of Love and Lust can be found in varying peoportions.

Dreamwalker

Fairly early in my day the one-word title came into my mind but it was well past midnight, of the following day, before the poem grew.





Dreamwalker  -  13 May 1

A dream once thought
Impossible
Made real by what you said
To me
Whispered in the night
Surrounded by stars
Wrapped in Love
Coming to see you
In our dream
I walk
To you





Sometimes just letting the thoughts cook for a while ...

Love's Rose

This is a sort of reverse Love song, "my" response to the Loving touches from someone.





Love's Rose  -  5 May 14

The scent of the rose
Caresses my senses
Soft velvet petals
Stroke my cheeks

You lay them on me
With every move you make
Every touch
Your hand of Love

Your whispered message
Soft Love
Words that grow
Within me always





A Love song is still a Love song however it was written and in whatever direction it flows.

Things Whispered

Another Love song from a slightly different perspective.





Things Whispered  -  20 Dec 13

Things you whispered
Soft words of Love
Stroked my ears
Your fingers ruffled my hair
In night’s quiet moments
Your whisper
Paints the stars
Shows me all I need to know
Tells me of your Love
Brings happiness





I do Love, Love songs.

Midnight Moons

Another poem with more than just a hint of "limite surréaliste" to it.





Midnight Moons  -  17 Oct 13

Starsong
Echoes of an ancient tongue
Still whispered
In the halls of time

Across the plains of midnight
Under the phantom moons
I wait
Listening to the song

On the shore
The silent sun turns to the sea
Calls her back to stand
Beside us once again

The journey is complete
Whispers stilled
Now we just listen to the
Starsong





I Love the way these poems are developing.

Meaning

Another Love song ~ simple and beautifully basic.





Meaning  -  18 Sep 13

Whispered into the night air
Three short words
Deeply felt
Always true ~ 

I Love You





Need I say more?

Heart Of Dream

Following on from Edge Of Dream, this poem takes the ideas a little further ...





Heart Of Dream  -  03 May 13


Fingertips gently trace
Soft curves
Hint at intimate contacts
To come
In the night ahead

Ears accept
Whispered promises
Lips share
In whispers
Pressed on lips

Eyes closed but
Still they see
Smiles from the dream
Of the Heart
In the night

Hidden to all but the promised
Words of Love
Spoken …
Sharing worlds
In the Heart of Dream

There is another in the "Dream" sequence to come and maybe a fourth as well.  This is entirely due to the influence of Muse and I thank her.

Night Song

I was preparing for bed when Muse offered the first two words, I got into bed and wrote the first stanza on my phone.  I had finished and turned over to sleep when Muse showed me the first words of the second stanza ... here then is the completed work.





Night Song  -  14 Apr 13


Night song
Her words came sweetly
To me
Carried on a breath
Of wind
Her smile
Whispered
In her gentle sigh
Her eyes
Told me
Showed me
Her Love
For me

Dream dancing
She swept me
In sacred paths
To places that were old
Ancient yet new
Where she could show me
Her Love

After I had written the poem I slept and totally forgot what I had written ~ reading it when I woke I felt that it had been a good suggestion from Muse [nothing new here] and I am always listening for her whispers.

Haikū 87

More from the hand-written Haikū archives.





Mantra + Red + Appetite  -  10 Aug 10

My hand holds red blooms
always whet my appetite
My mantra of Love


Rib  -  10 Aug 10

I feel your breath now ...
on my chest, against my rib,
the sweet warmth of you


"Lost ... "  -  10 Aug 10

She smiled ~ touched my Heart
She asked "Will you come with me?"
Lost ... in that moment


Whispered  -  10 Aug 10

You whispered my name
where I least expected it ...
deep within my Soul


Shun  -  11 Aug 10

Darkness welcomes me ...
in my life as a vampire
I shun the sunlight




Another variant on shun ~ I think this is the third version.
Move Haikū to come and other things too ...
