Another little Love-song/poem which grew out of the first two lines and formed over the space of the afternoon and evening.





Image[ination]  -  29 Jun 13

Close your eyes
See me

Look into your imagination
See me looking back at you
In all your glory

Look into my mind
See you

Love holds us both
Entwined ~ intertwined
Sharing the same space

Open your eyes
See us

No dream or imagination
Shows us as we really are
Connected together

Look
See We

The structure is not something I originally intended but I feel it works.

Game Of Whispers

This is another of my "limite surréaliste" poems ~ see what you think and feel.





Game Of Whispers  -  28 Jun 13

In another world
Under a different sun
We played a game
Of whispers
Can you see
The pilgrim stars
On their journey home
Have you heard
The trees encouraging
Flowers to become taller
Our whispers cuddle
On a bed of petals
Flower rain
Paint my dreams
With yours
Please

Wondering where these "Games" are leading and where they will be played out

Thank You

Just ~ Thank You.





Thank You  -  27 Jun 13

Thank you for being you
For being in my life
And for bringing me Joy

Showering me with your Love
Leaving little touches of you
Wherever I look

Thank you for being
The special person
You are

Needs no explanation I think.

Dream Wings

I was lying in bed beginning to drift into sleep when I felt a soft touch on my face and Muse whispered "write it..."





Dream Wings  -  26 Jun 13

Wings
Touched me
In the night
Kept a dream awake
You reached for me again
Kissed my sleeping lips
Caressed my dream
Held me
Close

I was fascinated by the construction ~ one word, then two, up to five then back down to one again.

Tempora

Another offering triggered by seeing a single word in a website.





Tempora  -  25 Jun 13

Watching you watching me
The light of Love
Shines from your eyes
I watch the smile
Grow on your lips

Watching me watching you
A hint of shyness
Flickers across your face
Coy glance
Draws me in to you





Not that this has any real relevance to the poem other than the fact that the word triggered something in my mind.

The name Tempora comes from a “security” operation run by GCHQ to tap into and save Internet messages for 30 days to enable analysis and surveillance of individuals and organisations.

Dances While Sleeping

I contemplated extending this into something longer or larger but every time I looked at it I got the message to leave it alone.  I wasn't about to argue with Muse.





Dances While Sleeping  -  24 Jun 13

We danced in our dream
Swaying gently
To an unwritten Lovesong
Playing in our Hearts

I do think that Muse is correct.

Dizzy

This poem grew because I woke feeling dizzy and the feeling stayed with me, Muse encouraged me to make a response to it ~ this is the result.




Dizzy  -  23 Jun 13

Dizzy
Thinking of you
My mind and body
Taken on an unexpected
Journey through
Space and time
To see you

You swept me up
Spun me around
Showed me wonders
Enthralled me
Took me through
The open door
To enter you

You set me down
Gently
But I was still spinning
Or was it the world
Do not know or care
You have given me
Joy

Thank you Muse, for the suggestion.

Petrichor

Watching the rain, I remembered the smell of dry ground becoming wet ~ so wonderfully evocative.





Petrichor  -  22 Jun 13

Midsummer rain
Pale cloud
Hides the blue
Earth starts to darken

Super Moon
Made to hide
Behind cloud
She can still be felt

Soft rain
Evokes memories
Of a dry afternoon
Warm sunshine

Welcome scent
Drawing me back
Taking me forward
Future memories





Just for clarification ... 
Petrichor ~ she scent of rain on dry earth
Constructed from the Greek words, petra meaning stone and ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods.
Thanks for the hint Muse.

You Cast Your Spell

The structure of this poem grew in a strange way, I had written the first stanza and was wondering how it would progress when suddenly it came to me.  The closing stanzas were written next and then the second and third ~ I feel that it works.





You Cast Your Spell  -  22 Jun 13

Unexpected enchantment
Your smile caught me
Unprepared
And I drowned
In your eyes

You breathed life
Into me
Showed me your world
Showed me you

You called me with
Your whole body
Now

I
Am

Yours

Muse has a rather pleasant habit of dropping hints at odd moments.

What Is ...

When this poem was first started the flow seemed to be one way, by the time i got about half way through it started to feel different.  I just let it go and didn't make any changes, this is the final version, untouched and untinkered and I hope it works.





What Is ...  -  20 Jun 13

Let whispers
Caress your ears
Gentle kisses
Brush your lips
Love lift the veil
From your eyes

Listen to the songs
Which charm the hours
Into days
Watch the sunsets
Close around us
And light the stars

What if … we ask
Can we really
Have it all
What is … keeps us
In its Heart and we
Have it all

Sometimes it is best to let Muse decide the way things flow and the structure of each poem.
