Last Night's Fancy

...i wish my pen could capture last night's fancy,

flight of divergent apparitions took my breath away

hallucinations of a dream so real it made me weep

for i saw your face high above the clouds

you appeared as an angel with chimerical wings,  

in their flutter released thousands of butterflies

each one carried a smile of incandescent light

promised posies of an altered moment & space

where poetry becomes reality traced on lofty clouds

amidst trances of tranquility & enchanted frivolity

so here i await on ink's flow with a fool's faith

of glinting endings and freshly burnish'd beginnings...

There are those moments and dreamy escapes that the pen can't capture its essence and glory especially when it is about a special one in our lives. The time and space are surely altered for they reside in a different reality than ours. I think you have been touched by the transcedental nature of the spirit realm and you are feeling like a butterfly in the azure skies...Thank you for sharing ...:)......................

A beautiful poem full of graphic thoughts and emotions, each and all flying from the 'page'. Angel! You do realise that angels have wings so they can always fly to a needy soul, don't you? Each and every word has a touch of realistic magic. In these phrases a gentle hope, a reality rising up and up onto a new and calming plain: ' .. so here i await on ink's flow with a fool's faith~ of glinting endings and freshly burnish'd beginnings... '

What fades from the mind has been made permanent in your lines here. I love the way you have pit this, it is so sad and yet so graceful.

Your pen surely captured your last nights fancy so well and you need not wish. Very perfectly done as usual dear

some dreams are so healing and one is left wondering upon waking ..
"chimerical" what a wonderful new word you have given me ... thanks!
i can see you waking up from this dream and grabbing the pen and journal at the bedside ...reaching for reality
waiting ...:)
i love this fanciful, slightly melancholy poem ...

Waking from a full-length dream so normal and fluid with memories &' emotions it turned into a nightmare of which you haven't seen the ending of. You analyze the nightmare through a fog of tears and emotions and still can't quite find the ending, despite there being one, and you still seek for the final result that you've wanted all along: I enjoyed this one. Anticipation for what's to come, along with clues to the knowledge that what's to come, won't, is what improves the poem tenfold.

When I lost both of my parents within a couple of years just a few years back, one of my most comforting thoughts was that they were now together in heaven. That thought brought me peace, and I can only pray that they have found peace again holding on to one another. Your poem is a very lovely one, Frieda. Thank you.
