Silence Between

A poem which grew in the late hours of yesterday and which is infused with a large measure of "limite surréaliste".





Silence Between  -  23 Nov 13

Words form in the silence
Between sounds
Music touched by thunder
Contrapuntal rhythm
Headache tinges the dark
With unnatural shades
Silence asks ~ can you hear me?
Request for conversation
In the spaces
Under raindrops
In the quiet moment
A single indrawn breath
Dawn





Was this a dream or something bigger or even a dream of something bigger.  One letter changed makes a world of difference.

You Inspire Me [Acrostic]

I said "I haven't got a poem written yet, I'm still waiting for inspiration."
Moments later ...





You Inspire Me [Acrostic]  -  23 Nov 13

Yesterday I had thoughts
Of the way things should
Unfold

I did not anticipate
Nor consider
Simple changes
Perpetrated
In our lives by our
Restless Souls
Endlessly

Moving our Love through
Eternity





An acrostic Love song ~ is this a first for me?

Night Hunters [Haikū]

Another little Haikū to keep things flowing.





Night Hunters [Haikū]  -  22 Nov 13

Whispers in the night
Mice plot the quest for their food
Owls wait patiently





This might have been partially inspired by the fact that I had watched the third part of the "Blade" trilogy last night, not that there were owls and mice in the movie but the idea of night hunters rather stuck in my mind,.

Dancing In Midnight

A little poem with a hint of "limite surréaliste" to add a touch of spice.





Dancing In Midnight  -  21 Nov 13

Midnight dancer
Slow movement
Beneath the watchful
Moon gazing through
Clouds

Soft beat rhythm pulse
Two Hearts move
Together sliding slow
Walk narrow lanes
In cold lamplight

Another midnight
Circling dance
Subtle smile shapes
The night moves
The song never ends





I am not entirely certain where the inspiration for this came from but I feel that it works rather well.

Soft Kisses

This poem was birthed a short time after midnight while Lovely thoughts were passing through my mind.  I offer it now to you ...





Soft Kisses  -  20 Nov 13

Soft kisses
As the wind caresses
My face

My memory
Says it is you but
My vision says no

Lost now
In the depth of your kiss
My mind surrenders

Sweet surrender
Happy in the flow of
Your Love





Lovely thoughts indeed.

Zen Thoughts [Haikū]

Another little Haikū, just because it felt right.





Zen Thoughts [Haikū  -  19 Nov 13

Ripple in cold stream
Pebble cannot be un-cast
Water not frozen





Cold but no ice yet.

Numbers

Another poem, with just a hint of Love song, seen to wandering into "limite surréaliste" territory.
The concept for this work had been drifting through my mind for most of the day as the idea of numbers kept nagging at me.





Numbers  -  18 Nov 13

One hand raised
In greeting
Along with a friendly
Smile

To shape the thought
Of old worlds
Gently carved
From dreams

Three sails raised
Calling the wind
Journey soon
To the sun

For all our dreams
Of ancient times
We still carry
Through all our lives





Muse nags very gently.

In Darkness

The phrase "In Darkness" formed itself in my mind just after midnight and the rest of the poem grew from there.





In Darkness  -  17 Nov 13

Fingertip touches
In darkness
Gentle breath
Thrills my senses
In darkness
She lets me feel
Love
She has for me
In darkness
We provide the light
Through our Love





Just another little Love song.

Night Naked

This poem grew just as I had actually entered my bed, of course I was recommended to make a note of it by Muse before it faded.





Night Naked  -  15 Nov 13

She watches me
Get undressed
Stretch naked
Slide into bed
Her beauty wraps me
Moon





An actual event ~ as I was lying back I noticed the Moon watching  me.

Damp Blanket [Haikū]

Another Haikū to hint at the way the weather is painting the season.

Damp Blanket [Haikū]  -  15 Nov 13

Inside winter life

Seeds in cold ground lie waiting

Under damp blanket

There will almost certainly be more to come.
