Serpent Disguise

Another weather observation with an added extra.





Serpent Disguise  -  02 Aug 15

Hissing on the
Conservatory roof
Rain pretending to
Be a different species

Droning with its
Tail in a musician’s
Lips the serpent sings
Another disguise





For those who do not know a Serpent was a wind instrument popular in days gone by.

Avanti

A welcome response to a request.





Avanti  -  01 Aug 15

An invitation
Permesso?
Polite request
Asking to enter
Come ahead
The answer I hoped
I would hear
Avanti





A very brief lesson in Italian.  Permesso is sometimes used as a request to offer a kiss.

Timing

Just know that timing is everything in all matters.





Timing  -  31 Jul 15

Knowing what to say
And when
To tell you how much
I Love you
Knowing when to say
The words which will
Tell you of my Love…
Always
Timing is important
With a message
As important
Say it now





Saying "I Love You" is always important.

Romance Born

A few words from a Lovely friend, commenting on an earlier poem, got me thinking and building.  This is the result.





Romance Born  -  30 Jul 15

Little hints
Words spoken
With just a hint of humour
As if to say
Only joking

Within the eyes
A different story
Is playing out
An offering of Love
Made unconditionally





I Love the way inspiration can come from all places.

Dusk Castle

A little fantasy conjured from an imagined sighting.





Dusk Castle  -  29 Jul 15

Against an ochre sky
Silhouette castle
Total darkness surrounds
Ancient memories
Walk the battlements
Insubstantial figures
Watch the sun fade
Into night





Interesting how the mind creates things.

Love Of An Angel

Variations on a theme, three linked Senryū or Haikū based around the theme of Love with someone really special.





Love Of An Angel  -  28 Jul 15

Angel kisses me
Gentle touch ~ her Love fills me
Dream becomes complete

Angel beside me
Offers protection and Love
Always within me

Wings wrapped around me
Holding me close against her
Her Love eternal





The Angel knows who she is.

Rose

Another poem to continue the floral theme.





Rose  -  27 Jul 15

Velvet petals
Swept by the wind
Perfume carries further
Not just in space
But time and mind
The rose of Love
Is everywhere and
Everywhen
Breathe deep





A rose for you.

Flower For You

A little poem offered as a Love song and a healing wish too.





A Flower For You  -  26 Jul 15

A flower offered
For you alone
Sculpted with Love
From the sweetest dream
Flavoured with a delicate spice
To heal all ills
A flower offered for you
And given with Love





Just because ...

Artwork

Painting skies, painting dreams, painting Love.





Artwork  -  25 Jul 15

Finger-painting our dreams
Weaving them into new
Shapes and forms
Clouds borrowed
From the sky
To build a new dream
To paint
In colours of Love





Paining Love is the most important.

 

Sleeping Together

Another in the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence ~ this one uses the words.





Sleeping Together  -  24 Jul 15

Lying in bed
Trying not to think …
Mundane thoughts
Clawing at my mind …
Then you
Wandered in
Smiled
All other thoughts faded
We slept
Each in our own head
Together
Five thousand miles
Means nothing





I Love the peace and contentment that comes when connection is made.
