Little Talk

.

In a moment between words, the silence is deafening. 

. 

Little Talk         -        18 Jan 23

Listening to the silence 

Of little talk 

Words do not matter 

Only the space between sounds 

Carries the required information 

In the silence information flows 

. 

Words are not always necessary. 

. 

Secrets Held

.

In a time 

When the words 

Have no real value 

Except to the speaker 

The listener often 

Ignores what is said

So the secrets 

Are held between people 

And sometimes 

Only by one 

. 

Do you listen. 

. 

Fictional Day

. 

The most memorable days can be fictional.

. 

Fictional Day       -       24 Nov 22

Watching a drifting moment 

Sliding across the fields 

Dancing with the shadow 

Of the sun as it hides

In a day of fictional words

Inventing new meanings 

For the old dreams

. 

Sometimes fictional can be more real than reality.

. 

Communication

.

Careless talk can be painful. 

. 

Communication       -      19 Nov 22

Words spoken 

Oft times without thought 

Can sometimes tell more 

Than a focused phrase

Be careful how you speak 

When in communication 

. 

More damage can be caused by a misplaced word.

. 

Serpents

.

Good at wrestling too. 

. 

Serpents        -        26 Oct 22 

Tongues 

Inquisitive serpents 

Coil around 

Investigate words 

Lick the meaning 

Off what is said

Taste the truth 

In the dance

. 

Wrestling is fun. 

. 

Wind Holds

.

A spell that did not work.

. 

Wind Holds       -       15 May 22

Fourteen times 

The ancient words 

Were spoken to try 

To open the lock 

Free time from 

The wind 

Every reality was

Fractured in

Unthinkable ways 

The lock remains 

And the wind holds

. 

Even at the lightest, the wind is more powerful than you know. 

. 

Random Shore

.

The strand line has some interesting items if you choose to look.

. 

Random Shore        -        16 Apr 22 

Washed up by a wave 

On a random shore 

A thought torn from

Tired mind adrift 

Between words 

Unknowing

Between minds

Unaware 

Still travelling 

On the tide 

When the strand

Releases 

. 

Waiting for the larger wave to make the change.

. 

Muse

.

Always helping. 

. 

Muse        -        15 Mar 22

Muse set forth

A shining path 

Of gentle music 

And words

To wake the Heart

Lift the Soul 

To carry us 

To a new world

Where we can become 

. 

Becoming is what we are doing.

. 

Dawn Light

.

A lot of things happen in that pale light.

. 

Dawn Light        -        29 Jan 22 

In a forgotten world 

A secret was born 

From soft words 

And even softer kisses 

In the pale dawn light 

. 

The Lovliest secrets are born this way. 

. 

Midnight Song

.

Lovers communicate in words and songs. 

. 

Midnight Song        -      15 Jan 22

Soft words sung

By a sweet voice 

Raising the warmth 

Of Love 

In the midnight song

Given as a gentle gift 

Between Lovers 

. 

Not just in words and songs,

. 

Riddles

.

The ancient words. 

. 

Riddles      -     03 Jan 22 

You speak to me 

In riddles which hurt 

You sing in the morning 

With words that were old 

Even then 

And nobody 

Learned the tongue 

Yet still you knew 

. 

The words which were old when the world was young. 

. 

Ever In My Heart

.

Shyness perhaps or not certain how it will be received. 

. 

Ever In My Heart        -        05 Dec 21

You may never know 

How much you mean to me 

I have never found 

The words to tell you

Even though you are ever in my Heart 

I have to whisper the words 

Only in my thoughts 

. 

The special person does know. 

. 

Looking In Between

.

Sometimes a message can be hidden in plain sight. 

.

Looking In Between       -       03 Sep 21 

Reading between the lines

Trying to find the 

Hidden message

Looking carefully 

In between the words

To see what I am being told 

.

The message is there, I just have to see it. 

. 

Muse

.

This is what she did. 

. 

Muse      -      17 Oct 20

You looked at my words 

Knew what I wanted to say 

Added a little mental shine 

And handed them back to me 

You are my Lovely Muse 

You can see into me 

And show me 

Me 

. 

For my one special person who is also my Muse. 

Will Winter Sing

.

This is a question I keep considering. 

. 

Will Winter Sing      -    29 Aug 20 

An icy draft from 

The mouth of Autumn 

Foretells the words 

To come before long 

The question lingers 

In the mind 

What 

Will Winter sing 

. 

An answer may come. 

. 

Tedium

.

Do you find yourself looking at something but not actually seeing it? 

. 

Tedium      -     19 Aug 20 

Looking at the page 

Staring at meaningless words 

Stains of ink 

On the paper 

Blurred lines 

Written by someone 

Or me 

In the grip of tedium 

It did not help 

And the words blur 

Even more 

. 

Did it help? 

. 

Fragment

.

Observations on a day and the weather. 

. 

Fragment    -    04 Aug 20 

On a pool of water 

After the rain 

Drops disturb the tranquility 

A fragment of paper floats 

Ink gradually flowing away 

Just a couple of words 

Still remain 

love you 

The rain takes the Love message 

To keep it 

For itself 

. 

The back story would be fascinating. 

. 

I Have Heard

.

Listen, you can hear it too. 

. 

I Have Heard     -     07 May 20 

The song of the Elders 

Has been sung 

Bringing attention 

To the wind from the words 

Blowing through our minds 

I have heard the words 

Calling us 

To listen carefully 

. 

The words are for all who listen. 

. 

Remember

.

Something rising out of the past. 

. 

Remember     -     13 Apr 20 

I knew you 

Years ago 

I still recall 

The words spoken 

I remember 

Fragments 

Of those days 

They can never 

Return except as 

Ghosts 

Time has moved on 

But the ghosts 

Remain 

. 

Sometimes they are only part remembered but they still remain. 

. 

Love Letters

.

From the one special person. 

. 

Love Letters    -    17 Mar 20 

The words written gently 

On the parchment 

Of my Heart 

By you 

As you tell me 

Of your Love for me

I will treasure your 

Love letters 

Forever 

. 

The letters are constantly growing in number.
