Unwanted Feelings

.

We all have them even though they are never welcome.

Unwanted Feelings        -       11 Aug 22

Unpleasant surprises 

Strange things

Leaving unwanted feelings 

Everywhere 

Trying to ignore them 

Even though they insist 

On being observed 

. 

It is very difficult to ignore them.

. 

Mirrors

.

Look into the mirrors.

. 

Mirrors        -        10 Aug 22 

Time watches everything 

Seconds draw images

Behind them

A veil of hope 

Constantly forming

Mirrors 

In which the images 

Take shape

. 

Always changing. 

. 

Patterns

.

The patterns are always there.

. 

Patterns       -       09 Aug 22

Patterns in the flow 

Day becomes day 

Domino scattered 

Through the night 

Join the dots 

Across the sky 

Heroes become 

The patterns 

And the paths 

. 

All it takes is a decerning eye.

. 

Feelings

.

Some things are certain. 

. 

Feelings        -        08 Aug 22

She said 

I do not know 

All I am certain about

Are the feelings 

I have for you 

. 

That certainty is reassuring.

. 

Whirlpool

.

The thoughts are disturbed.

. 

Whirlpool        -        07 Aug 22 

Whirlpool emotions 

Sweep up thoughts

Cast feelings 

Across the mind

Leaving the detritus 

Of the shattered 

Thoughts 

For the morning light 

To find 

. 

Broken pieces. 

. 

Dark Dreams

.

Dreams come in many flavours.

. 

Dark Dreams        -        06 Aug 22 

The sun not long set 

Sky is already dark

Dreams fill the night

Pull my vision 

Into new places 

Unexpected things 

In the dreams 

. 

Sometimes the dark ones are more interesting.

. 

Glimpse Of Tomorrow

.

Maybe I will see.

.

Glimpse Of Tomorrow       -        05 Aug 22

Looking into the distance

Hoping to see a glimpse

Of tomorrow

In the mists of yesterday

Will I ever see 

Me looking for me 

. 

A hall of mirrors. 

. 

Night Star

.

Weaving the stars.

. 

Night Star       -       03 Aug 22

Lifting night

Star by star 

Into the light of day 

I caress the shadows 

Into rest again 

Let them sleep 

Until they wake 

Into night 

And shine 

With the stars 

. 

They are always there. 

. 

Freedom Calls

.

Shifting into the movement. 

. 

Freedom Calls       -        16 Jul 22 

Thoughts of you 

Open the doors 

To freedom 

Allow me to escape 

From the dark tedium 

Of repetitive moves

Where nothing seems to happen 

Into a place where 

The tide calls me 

And the waves lift me 

Onwards 

Free 

. 

The tide and waves are always calling.

. 

First Reality

.

I had an enforced break due to being infected with the coved thing.  I am now back and feeling quite good. 

This is the first poem on my return.

. 

First Reality       -        01 Aug 22

Day 

Fractures the dreaming 

Night 

Into a myriad pieces 

Light 

Encompasses all reality 

Dark 

Is the first reality 

. 

I met dark in my enforced break.
