Taken By Night

.
Observed and observing the observers.

Taken By Night    -    11 Apr 19

Night watched all and waited
Hiding in corners for the unwary
To wander past
In dream
Thence to be taken
Into a different world
To wait and watch
For the next unwary wanderer

.
Keep looking.

.

Wishes

On one day of the year thoughts reach out to feel.

.
Wishes    -    10 Apr 19

Dreaming while awake
Feeling presences
Around me touching me
Each carries
The wishes of all the years
From every birthday
Spoken in the silence
Between moments
Of reflection

.
Thinking back to all those days.

.

On The Edge

.
I have heard and felt these places.

.
On The Edge    -    09 Apr 19

The tide of dreams
Washed the rocks
As I stood watching
On the edge of the
Restless sea
Ever moving
Watery breathing
Heartbeats heard
Between the boulders
Beneath the cliffs
Sighing winds
The gulls watch
And wonder

.
Have you stood and listened?

.

Fly

.
Written for the one special person with a few amendments from her.

.
Fly    -    16 Apr 19

The words I speak
Whispered in the night
Come from my Heart
Fly to you
Across the Five Thousand Miles
To rest in your Heart
There to live forever

.
I Love our collaboration.

.

Winds

.
Observations and feelings about weather secrets.

.
Winds    -    08 Apr 19

Sigh in my ears
A phantom breeze
Whispers to me
Between the hours
When the winds
Speak loudest
And try to drown
The quiet voices
The breeze tells me
Her secrets of the places
She has been
What she has seen
How to get there

.
Valuable secrets indeed.

.

Kissed By The Moon

.
Remembering a warm summer night, not too long ago.

.
Kissed By The Moon   -   07 Apr 19

As I slept
She crept into my room
Brushed the curtains aside
With a warm breeze
She gazed at my sleeping form
And smiled
Laid her hands upon me
I was kissed by the Moon
In the night

.
A Lovely experience.

.

Love Is All

.
A statement of fact and every line begins with I.  Because it is part of my exploration.

.
Love Is All   -   06 Apr 19

In the time when I thought
I knew everything there was
I did not consider that
I was missing something
I now realise that
I was not looking
I have seen
I know Love is all there is

.
Just look and you will see.

.

Honey Kisses

.
Soft and sweet and always welcome.

.
Honey Kisses    -    05 Apr 19

Mellow warm
Sweet scented touch
Lips speak the words
I longed to hear
Wrapped in honey kisses

.
I taste them even now.

Acapella [Acrostic]

.
A challenge but ultimately satisfying.

.
Acapella [Acrostic]    -   04 Apr 19

Antiphonal phrases
Cadence voiced in an ancient tongue
Against a backdrop of whispers
Played in the mummers songs
Elemental essence electrifying
Latent dreams awakening
Leaving tired dreamers lying
Alone in the morning myst

.
Quite satisfying.

.

Brightest

.
This poem was actually birthed a while ago but was only completed a few days back.

.
Brightest    -    03 Apr 19

In the lights of night
Star lanterns
Brighten the dark

In the light of day
Sun shines and makes
Vision clear

You shine brightest
More illuminating
Than everything

My beautiful light
Beautiful you
Makes my life beautiful

.
Another poem for the special person.
