Gulls Cry

Short and simple but it fits in with the weather recently.





Gulls Cry -  22 Jan 16

Wheeling
Through a blustery sky
Calling to friends
Proclaiming the joys
Of flight




Strongest wind and heavy rain, the gulls are always around.

Self Portrait

This has been happening quite a lot recently.





Self Portrait  -  21 Jan 16

Listening to the sounds
Window shaking
Trees conduct a hidden
Symphony
While the wind draws
A self portrait
Across the road
With rain





Watching the broad brush-strokes form the image.

Shadows On A Lawn

Slightly wistful thoughts from an afternoon.





Shadows On A Lawn  -  20 Jan 16

Long deep thoughts
Painted acros the lawn
By the afternoon sun
Ancient steps
From a forgotten dance
Leave shadows
To follow
For those who dare
The grass remembers
The shadows still dance
Across the lawn





I have never been on this particular lawn but other lives have shown me memories.

Love Songs

Love songs are the Loveliest ways of sharing thoughts.





Love Songs  -  19 Jan 16

In a secret dream
We came together
To share a moment
Share each other
With words written
For us by the stars
As they dreamed us





Dancing in the dreams of the stars.

Photographs [Acrostic]

I offer another acrostic today.





Photographs [Acrostic}  -  18 Jan 16

Pieces of time
Held in a cocoon
Of silver
Touched by the light
Of a different day
Graphical imagry
Retained within the paper
Art revealed
Privately to a tender gaze
Holding memories from
Somewhen





In the "old days" when photographs were taken using negatives, the images were made using silver.

Sweet Memories

Growing the memories we want to live.





Sweet Memories  -  17 Jan 16

Always being formed
Little dream
Upon little dream
Sometimes slowly
Sometimes faster
Than imagination travels
Building the sweet memories
We savour the taste





Somehow those memories seem to last longer than all others.

Secret Lover

We all have a secret Lover somewhere.





Secret Lover  -  16 Jan 16

No one knew
That she was with me
All the time
We talked
Laughrd
Made gentle Love
Sometimes more
We were always
Together
My secret Lover
And I





The fact that they are secret makes them all the more special.

Star Dance

A musical Love song.





Star Dance  -  15 Jan 16

Around the hall
Galaxies spin
Play the tunes
That move the stars
Dancing drifting
Love movements





I have touched on this stellar dance theme before but I rather like it.

Tasting The Weather

Observations on the weather.





Tasting The Weather  -  14 Jan 16

Breathing in
Through an open mouth
Air passing across
The tongue
Tasting
The weather
Rain ~ no
Colder
Frost ~ perhaps snow
Not really welcome





A little experiment anyone can do provided that the flavours are known.

With Dream Surrounded

Wandering in a Love song.





With Dream Surrounded  -  13 Jan 16

I have wandered
Many miles
Through ancient forests
By timeless oceans
Across the desert rocks
Nowhere have I found
The dream you offered me
Surrounding me
I shall return to you
To accept your dream
And make it ours





And the dream takes me to YOU.
