Spirit Leading

The first lines of the first two stanzas came into my mind together and I was certain that they were to be offered as the first two lines of a new poem.  I was surprised when Muse suggested that they were to be separated.  I took her suggestion and this is the result.





Spirit Leading  -  08 Mar 13


I walked the paths of night
Through shades of darkness
Along the ancient ways
Between the worlds

Sightless windows
Watch as doors close
On the seamless night
And darkness becomes complete

Spirit needs no eyes
Takes me by the hand
And leads me on toward day
Another light

The veils between the worlds
Now torn allow a glimpse
Of where I am
And where I go

I tend to accept suggestions from Muse ~ she is so often correct

Random Wishes

This poem was birthed in the afternoon and I found that the images, both visual and in other sensual forms, started to grow in my mind and I felt that I just had to write it out.





Random Wishes  -  08 May 13


Taste the colours
And ask for a song
To be played
Something soft
In a magenta minor key
To clothe the dreams
I have of you

Smell the words
Roses and honeysuckle
Sketch an image in my mind
Where your song
Plays … gently
And the images of you
Shine brightly

Touch the memories
Held close
And intimate in me
Shared by you forever
Forever ours
To live whenever
We choose

I find that the methods Muse uses to attract my attention are totally fascinating.

Dreams On The Plain

A new offering in the "Dream" sequence which grew unexpectedly in the afternoon yesterday.





Dreams On The Plain  -  07 May 13


Fertile plains
On which seeds of dream
Are sown
Watered by the imagination
And warmed by the flame
Of Love

Full flowered dream
Gathered by those
Who care and wish to share …
We take a single blossom to
Breathe the fragrant
Night thoughts

We grasp the stem
Kiss the petals together and
Our lips meet
The fire of our Love
Spreads from the dream of night
Into the dreams of day

I felt that there were more to come in this series ~ didn't realise that something would come as soon as this ~ thank you Muse.

Map Of Dream

Surprisingly, this ties two recent themes together ~ the "Map" series and the "Dream" sequence ~ though I have no doubt that both will continue further.  I feel that there is more to be said in both of these.





Map Of Dream  -  06 May 13


Worlds where we can play
Touch the sky
Breathe the ocean

Where we can chart
The worlds of our creation
So we can return … whenever

Taste the flavour of our Love
I listen to the words of your song
Join in and create harmony

We chant new worlds
I watch you smile as they are born
New lands to play

The map of our dreams
Will never be complete
Ever growing within us

Thank you to Muse for helping to plait these together ~ though plaiting requires at least three streams ... so...

What next?

Dream Into Day

This is a continuation of the "Dream" sequence of poems.





Dream Into Day  -  05 May 13


She left an imprint
On my Heart
Of the Love she offered
Freely
She took a thousand smiles
From the Love she accepted
I gave
Freely

Dream merged into wake
From sleep into a special space
Where dream
Continues
The reality of us
In the special
Unique worlds
That are …

I think that there is certainly one more poem to come ... maybe more.

Dawn's Dream

The third segment of the "Dream" sequence.





Dawn's Dream  -  03 May 13


Caressed by the night
In the night
As the stars begin to fade
Into the dawn

A Lover’s kiss
Remembering
Reminding
Tenderness

Sweet thoughts
A hint of fragrance
From another time
Dawn’s dream

I'm hoping that there are more to come ~ with a little assistance from Muse.

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.

Map Of The Amethyst World

I had intended to post this yesterday but felt that the poem I did post was, in a lot of ways and for some good reasons, more important.  So I now present the Amethyst Map,





Map Of The Amethyst World  -  01 May 13


Footprints on the waters
Cleaving the waves
Diving
Spiral dance
Water born
Carried to the depths

On crystal paths
We walked
Invited on
By a Dolphin’s song
Across the map

Crystal halls
Surround and shine
Through our dreams
Where mysteries are told

Records in the Amethyst
Inscribed ~ shown
As we read

Dolphins give us Amethysts
Then request that we

Move on





I can feel that there are more Maps to come.  I know that Muse would like me to add more.

Edge Of Dream

This was not the poem I had intended to post today but when Muse prompted me in the very early hours of today to place these words on "paper" I couldn't resist.  It is another of the "Love Poem" offerings and called rather loudly to be posted.





Edge Of Dream  -  02 May 13


Edge of dream
As darkness falls
I go within
And see my world
As I never have

Ruffled feathers
Cascade across a random
Sky of faded cloud
Stars dance
To an ancient rhyme

You watch
Keep time with a gentle wave
Your smile
Keeps time
With mine

A soft sweet kiss
And I journey further
Taking you with me
Into the edge
Of my dream

I'm rather pleased with the poem and Muse is happy that I decided to post it now.

Map Of Myth

This "Map" poem grew in the afternoon and seemed to be a response to thoughts I had been having about some meditation experiences from a few years ago.





Map Of Myth  -  30 Apr 13


Forms around us
Keeping pace
Encouraging
Guarding
Protecting our dream
As we move through the day

Unicorns walk beside
In the forest glade
Their smiling shining thoughts
Light the day
More than the sun
Warm

Overhead
Wrapped in cerulean
Dragons of many colours
Circle
Play
A spiral dance

The Map holds many truths
Here be Dragons ~ yes often said
Here be Unicorns ~ never be mentioned
Yet here they walk
With many other beings
… And we





Maybe there will be more of these to come ~ I can think of one that could be used.
Thank you Muse for the suggestions.
