Forum

Glimmering thoughts in open minds
Capturing within our hearts the world
Across the street or far reaching
When meeting in this place
Visions of possibilities
Go dancing through my brain
Together we reflect many sides
Each holding a trust
Within our realms

With so many things
Within our reach
I'll hold this time
To my heart
To sustain me
On the long roads
And build piece by piece
Thoughts, once random
Into something
That changes the places
We dwell within.

Pack the blues away

Blues of days to come
Tease with promise
Now packed away
Encased behind grey
Only sight seen
Was a glimpse
For a day

Sitting here waiting
At the beginning
Of another day
The light is mellow
The air is chilled
Dwelling on promises
Of days of blues

Seen

Eyes glance away

If sight unseen
Our world is filled
With rainbows
Happy ever after scenes

Point out
The hidden
Lift up
Move and draw
Eyes
Opening
To worlds
Now seen

Raw

Emotions sit upon me
Gulp, gasp
Spinning, sinking
Inhaling each motion
Float with a tide
Rushing over my mind
Make me still
Numb, overwhelmed
Movement, raw
Falling into depths
Dark corners
Hidden thoughts
Building up
Breath, see
Turn away...

Red Tears




























Red Tears (words)

I hear their memories,
Calling!
Wafting across fields.
Floating.
Singing their final lullaby -
Weeping:
A harmony of voices,
Haunting...

Whispers drift over fields,
Calling!
Threads of their memories.
Floating.
Visions always lingering -
Weeping:
Staining the fallen leaves,
Haunting...


*Reflecting on why this poem came into being -
post ANZAC Day on Behind Dreaming...

"Red Tears" was first published in Teesside Artists' Journal, November 2009. Thank you to Carol Fenwick, the editor of Teesside Artists' Journal, for all her support including understanding my decision to republishing this poem on my blog.

Contains the poem Print that was also posted on my blog. I am still trying to decide what image should be shown with this poem. Yet I cannot ignore what came to me when I was thinking about it :-)

Plunging in

Plunging in under the waves
Looking at a salty world
Filled with life -
With a flick and twist
It streams by

Breaking the surface
Gasping, eyes stinging
Staring down the waves
Their pressure beats and pushes
Until reaching beyond the break

Lying back, stretched out
Drifting along the surface
Gently moving up and down
With the motion of the tide

Sounds muffled
The world is the sky
Sun beating, clouds floating
Nestled softly in a watery embrace
Then plunging in under the waves

The poem "Weaving Clouds" has been altered slightly before being added to my photo. Nothing is static including my poetry or the clouds that drift across the sky :-)

Pattern


Pattern, originally uploaded by behind.dreaming.

I created images that would fit some of the poems I wrote about different friends. This ended up being a series that have become my screen saver at work. I have not felt the need to put up a different screen saver since. Over the next month I will post each one - though I have posted some of these before. This hopefully will help me focus on creating more.

I also do requests ;-)

Weaving clouds

Weaving layer upon layer
Mesh fades
Then gathers
Drifting upon blue
Hiding the brightness
In waves of moments

Floating on the tide
Watching clouds
Gather, then fade
My eyes follow
The patterns
Woven in the sky
