Equinox [Acrostic]

Posted slightly out of sequence because today is the Vernal Equinox.





Equinox [Acrostic]  -  19 Mar 15

End of Winter
Questing for the answers
Unmistakeable messages
In the air around me
Now I can
Observe sap rising
Xylem flow of Spring





Tomorrow there will be a poem commemorating the solar eclipse, which also happens today.

 

Eternal Images

A selection of traditional and modern Haikū and Senryū for today's offerings.





Eternal Images  -  14 Mar 15

A whisper heard once
Never forgotten
Through Eternity

You ~ always with me
In my dreams or while awake
Loving companion

Your words have touched me
In my Heart and on my Soul
Leaving your whisper

My Heart sings with you
Joy filled moments in my life
Eternity ~ too small

A piece of paper
You sketched me and created
The image of Love





All three lines but sometimes the syllable count makes it "modern".

 

Dream Call

The Lovely moments around sunset.





Dream Call  -  14 Mar 15

In painted hours
As images drift
Behind the sunset
And start to call the dreams
From their hiding places
I wait
I watch
For you to join me
I call your name
Our dream answers
We are together





So often sunset is the Loveliest time.

 

Secret Smile

Watching the smiles in the early hours.





Secret Smiles  -  12 Mar 15

In a silence more profound
Than the pre-dawn kiss
Of stars
I watched you
Your sleeping face
Smiled in a secret dream
I wondered if I had been invited
To your special place





Somehow the smiles are even more Beautiful.

 

Ghosts In The Mind

This was inspired by a memory of the phrase "Ghosts in the machine".  I had long wanted to write something which was related to this concept but, only now did it emerge.





Ghosts In The Mind  -  12 Mar 15

People who once
Shared my time and space
And place
In my mind
Sometimes return
To enter that place
Again
Sometimes because
I think of them
Occasionally
Because they insert
Themselves unbidden
And sometimes
All I have is
A mindful of ghosts





Sometimes the "visitors" are welcome ~ sometimes.

 

Final Song

A final song.





Final Song  -  10 Mar 15

This must be
Our final song
The day draws to a close
And silence
Fills the dark
The last chords
Fade
Till the morrow
When the orchestra
Begins anew
And we can
Dance and sing
New songs





You did not think this would be a last poem from me ~ did you?

You Wore The Rainbow

A Love song with a hint of something much deeper.





You Wore The Rainbow  - 10 Mar 15

When I kissed
The rainbow while
You were still wearing it
We knew what was meant
By dancing our dream

Infinity has touched
Our Hearts
Kissed our Love
Transported us
To new heights

White dress
Painted with the brush
Of rainbow hue
Swept to fill the Universe
With us





Love songs are always deep though.

Prophet [Acrostic]

Another acrostic offering.





Prophet [Acrostic]  -  09 Mar 15

Peering into the undefined
Reaching for the message
Outworlds within spin
Pointing at possibilities
Helping impossibilities become
Endlessly spinning dancing
Theatre of new dreams





This poem seemed to write itself.

 

Drips

An experiment in a simple "poème concret" just to see how it will work here.





Drips  -  08 Mar 15

Drip
A slow cascade
Of ancient dreams
Drip
Moving through
The gates of memory
Drip
Darkness
Eroded by light
Drip
Afternoon sunshine
Drizzles through branches
Drip
I am floating free
On
Drip





I can almost hear the drips.

Kissing The Edge

Knowing where the edge is and what it entails is part of the fun of walking and kissing the edge.





Kissing The Edge  -  07 Mar 15

Imaginary worlds
Sliding through me
All become real
Somewhen
Through the desires
I am on the edge
Of the dream
I take it into me
Kiss it into life





Enjoying the game.
