Moon Whispers

Those little Love messages carried by a secret messenger.





Moon Whispers  -  23 Dec 15

She carried a message
Whispered words
From my Lover
Telling me how much
She Loved me

The Moon knew
Because I had confided
In her so many times
I feel thart she whispered
To my Lover too





My favourite messenger, always maintains the confidences.

Another Curtain

This play is closing ~ a new one will open soon.





Another Curtain  -  22 Dec 15

Curtains of rain
Cloak the point of sunset
Hide the Solstice marker

Another curtain
Slowly falls
The mummers make
The final moves
In the last act of
The play of the year

Applause from the auditorium
Shares appreciation
With those who played





The mummers will rest but the Muse never does.

Portal Into Time

Thoughts around the time of the Winter Solstice.





Portal Into Time  -  21 Dec 15

We had waited
For the gate to open
Time's way
Rain flowed
But the Solstice Bell
Called
And we moved
Forward





Always moving forward into the immenseness of time.

Afternoons [Acrostic]

The title is really self-explanatory.





Afternoons [Acrostic]  -  20 Dec 15

All through the hours
Falling leaves imitating
Time sand in an
Empty hourglass
Raking the tiny flowers
Now giving the last perfume
Out into the world
On wings of dream
Now eyes closed
Sleeping in the afternoons





Those Lovely gentle sleeps which make afternoons complete.

Drifting Through A Dream

Remembering those, seemingly never-ending, afternoons.





Drifting Through A Dream  -  19 Dec 15

In a never ending afternoon
Thoughts wander
Sometimes coalesce 
Around a seed of an idea
Warming it to see
What grows

The seed of a dream
Warm in my mind
Carries a special
Story of what
We want to grow
Drifting happily





Warm summer days never ended.

Safe Harbour

A gentle Love song.





Safe Harbour  -  18 Dec 15

Drifting into the arms
Of a Lover
Who cares
Protects
Safe against all storms
A gentile kiss
Harbour lights
A soft sweet smile
To guide the way





This seems to be continuing the theme of protection.

Protection

Another Dragon song.





Protection  -  17 Dec 15


Warm breath
Supple tail wrapped
Around us
Protection
From imagined evils
We wrapped in each other
Gently bound by
The Dragon's tail
Safe from the world





I Love Dragons

Watching In The Mist

A Love song of waiting about to be fulfilled.





Waiting In The Mist  -  16 Dec 15

Watching
For you to appear
You told me
You were on your way
To see me
Mist wrapped me
In a cool blanket
But still
I watched

I see your ship


Watching
Waiting for the harbour
To become clear
Lights shining
Halos in the mist

I see you





Lovely feeling, knowing that you are about to see the one you Love.

Rapt In You

A Love song but so much more.





Rapt In You  -  15 Dec 15

You captivated me
Wrapped me in a dream
Silken fingers hold me
Bound with your Love
Threads of gossamer
Tie my Heart to yours
With a Lover's knot





A Love song for a very special person.

Harlequin

This poem is dedicated to a rose bush I used to know from many years ago.





Harlequin  -  14 Dec 15

Rainbow robes
Swirl in the excitement
Of the dance
A rose
Showing many faces
Harlequin
Unexpected
Rainbow masks
Hiding smiles
Shining eyes





Shame it got left behind in the move, I hope the new owners of my old house are caring for the rose.
