This acrostic poem was designed in two parts ~ each illustrating the concept of the Tantalus but forming a complete whole.
Tantalus [Acrostic] - 04 Dec 13
Touching you breathing deep
Aroma sweet intoxicating
Nothing brings me closer
To you
Arms outstretched reaching
Longing but I cannot hold you
Untold miles
Separate us
Interesting, I feel, how one word can be split into two parts ~ contradicting yet whole.
This is another of the poems which were inspired by a chance sighting of a tweet in the Twitter stream. The end result has no relevance to what was read.
Butterfly Within - 02 Dec 13
Momentary tremble
Wings stir the air
Cascading thoughts
Tumble from the sky
Into our now
Butterfly claps wings
Stirs reality
Opens thoughts
To otherness
Dwelling within
Random thoughts sometimes fire extremely random results.
Many years ago I wrote an acrostic poem entitled "Silent Night With Dream Enfolded". Recently that title, or rather the second part thereof, has been returning to my mind and asking for something else to be done with it ~ so now ...
With Dream Enfolded - 02 Dec 13
Wrapped …
Moments in the night
Where time stands still
Wrapped …
Evening ended
Morning not yet arrived
Wrapped …
In dream’s soft folds
Secret words whisper
In dream …
Phantoms and fantasy
Play special games
Sleep …
Through the night
With dream enfolded
One day I may add the original acrostic poem to these pages.
This acrostic poem was inspired by seeing a quote from Gunilla Norris
"Within each of us, there is a silence.
A silence as vast as the Universe.
And when we experience that silence,
we discover who we are."
This is my little take on that silence.
Silence [Acrostic] - 01 Dec 13
Simple secret movements
Infused with a magical memory
Lifted from the depths
Eternity holds the image of itself
Now reflected in the mirror of time
Connected within and without
Endlessly moving
I hope I have done justice to the original thought
This poem grew from a framework of just the four words which form the opening lines of each stanza.
Attraction - 30 Nov 13
Words
I heard you speak
Your words
Warm honeyed
Calling me
Lips
Brushed mine
Soft angel wings
Enticing
Eyes
Entrancing alluring
Shaping touch
Through sight
You
Complete me
I Love the way these grow almost by themselves.
Nothing seemed to be flowing, I heard the single word in my mind and suddenly things became more liquid.
Probability [Acrostic] - 29 Nov 13
Pen moves slowly
Reluctant thoughts
Originating in otherness
Balance of persuasion
About a selfless place
Bringing new silence
Into a thoughtful moment
Light flows liquid
Into the mind of creation
Together in Infinity
Yet still apart
Otherness ~ the place where all dreams and poems come.
I had just finished building the post for yesterday's poem when Muse touched me and suggested another poem.
Dream Seeds - 27 Nov 13
Dream seeds
Scattered by the wind
On frosted mornings
Tapping into hidden images
Secret thoughts
Wrapped in phantom visions
Waiting
Harvest
Single seed
Ready to grow
Flowers at night
Sweet perfume fills the mind
Opening doors to dream
Opening dreams
I rather like the rapid sequence, especially when poems with totally different feelings come into being.
Another Haikū to allow the feel of the softness of night.
Velvet Night [Haikū] - 27 Nov 13
Wrapped in black velvet
Stars pale ~ winter night surrounds
Love always shines brighter
In the night stars watch ...
Just a little Love song for a Tuesday ~ or any other day too.
Heaven - 25 Nov 13
Heaven is a place
In your Heart
You took me there
In the moment
You smiled at me
Just because it feels good to say it.
Another poem with more than just a hint of "limite surréaliste". It grew during the night and really wanted to be published, so ...
Moments In Hand - 25 Nov 13
Moving a moment
From hand to hand
Mine to yours
Flowing it through
Our Hearts
Feeling the movement
Tide of Love
Touches every part
Moments encapsulate
A moving hand
Standing still
In the waves
Hands wave and hold
A moment of movement
In motion forever
I Love the way these poems flow.
