River Child

.

Something that can be heard if you really pay attention. 

. 

River Child        -        09 May 22

In the whispers 

Of the stones

Can be heard 

The wistful words 

Of the river child 

Always telling 

Of the Moon on the river 

. 

Sad words because the river child can never touch the Moon.

. 

Eternities

.

The song of Love should never be complex. 

. 

Eternities        -        08 May 22

The song of your Heart 

Calls to mine 

Through all our eternities 

We are forever linked 

By a simple tune 

Which has joined us 

Forever 

. 

And it plays on... 

. 

Magic [Haiku]

.

It grew as if by... 

. 

Magic [Haiku]        -        07 May 22

Spells, incantations 

All the tools to make it work 

Everywhere Magic

. 

Sometimes tools are not required, it just works. 

. 

Full Nights

.

A Lovely way to be. 

. 

Full Nights        -       06 May 22 

Feeling the touch

Of a friendly hand 

The brush of

Loving lips

Nights are as full

As days 

Not able to tell 

Which is which 

All are enjoyable

. 

Personal pleasures. 

. 

Waves Calling

.

Listening to the whispers. 

. 

Waves Calling        -         05 May 22

Rain washed the wall 

By the path to the sea

Water to water

Down the hill 

Waves calling again

Across the sands 

Like all the yesterdays 

And tomorrow too 

Like the sea it calls 

In a forgotten whisper 

. 

The whispers are haunting and can never be forgotten.

. 

Amber

.

So many old thoughts and memories are held in this way.

. 

Amber         -         04 May 22

Out of the past

I reached and captured 

A memory of an old smile 

Held in the Amber 

Of thought

The smile still held me 

After all the years 

Calls me as though

Still fresh

. 

A precious resin to protect precious memories.

. 

I Dreamed You

.

A deeper connection between two people. 

. 

I Dreamed You       -       03 May 22

I dreamed you 

Last night 

In the stars 

Again you took me 

You gave me you 

We danced together 

In the Moonlight 

. 

More than just a dream. 

. 

Flames Of Sunset

.

So many often the most beautiful time of day.

.

Flames Of Sunset       -       02 May 22

In the West 

The flames of sunset 

Grow dim

As the day gathers 

To a close 

Evening whispers

A silent word 

To the star 

That heralds 

Night dreams 

. 

And the nightbirds start their songs.

. 

Renaissance

.

Semi autobiographical poem, I will leave you to which parts are real and which fiction.

. 

Renaissance       -      01 May 22

Long, long ago 

A romance was new

But the two drifted apart 

Leaving only cobwebs

To fill the gap 

Others came and went

Nothing seemed right

And romance seemed 

To be gone forever 

Days were quiet 

Then a new face

Filled the void 

Renaissance of romance

World lives again

In the flower of Love 

. 

The world is beautiful again. 

. 

After Moments

.

The spirit is always there. 

. 

After Moments        -        30 Apr 22 

Taking a slow breath 

Changing essence 

To hold the moments 

After thoughts have stilled 

And awareness fades 

Into the dream 

Moments continue 

To hold the form 

Of the first breath 

. 

The breath can still be felt.

.
