When fairies dance

 

 

 

 

When Fairies Dance

 

As twilight gently touches born of daylight aftermath

Cicada’s serenade a drift the trees

Tiny points of light appear along the wooded path

Floating ever tender on the breeze

 

The setting sun relinquishes the sky once full in bloom

Slowly as its tapestry reveals

Shimmering the beams now falling forth an autumn moon

Illuminating what the night conceals

 

For  here within my beating heart, it's you that I desire

Walking all alone this star filled night

Wishing on a clover leaf to be what you require 

 To share with you this beautiful delight

 

Imagination captures in the wake of what may be

Creatures of the night now gather round

The rustling of underbrush for comfort that they seek

Muted is their darkened scurried sound

 

For on this night of fantasy before my eyes I spy

Crystalline these wings about do prance

Twinkling as stars aloft now blanketing the skies

Magic comes this night when fairies dance

 

Formed of tiny features in a delicate compose

Their beauty finds my heart it now can breathe

Once of stories long ago, of local lore it rose

Though on this autumn evening I believe

 

Whispering in silence of a filtered golden shine

My mind it drifts to images afforded by romance

Love it finds this evening now a' shimmer in this rhyme

Wonder does abound within a trance

 

Quietly I watch while moving swiftly to my view

A tear my eye does form as I’m alone

Every thought of beauty is a thought that I love you

Oh how I long to make your love my own

 

Maybe I can hold onto this magic I have seen

Here beneath a mystic sky above

Place it in a poem, send it to you in a dream

So you will know you are my only love

Exquisite - simply exquisite.

Tammy, are you poetically stalking me? :) If so, please continue, I like having you around my sweet friend. Thank you so much.

[TL Boehm]

nope. I never stalk! I'm too geeky for that. :) I am catching up on RR's though!

[Jack...]

I figured as much...

[Jack...]

I wonder if I wrote a poem about French Fries if you would ketchup on that too?

[TL Boehm]

with relish.

[TL Boehm]

I'm probably due for a smackin for that but I couldn't resist.

[Jack...]

Me too, I'm afraid.

From start to finish this poem entrances as your romantic images float across the screen. Twilight is truly a time of magical beauty where anything is possible.

[Jack...]

It is my favorite time of day. Happy you enjoyed this one my friend.

Magical!!! Couldn't help but feel like I was lost in a movie of magic and wonder! So incredibly jealous of your writing skills...

No need to be jealous, I learned by reading others and still have a lot to learn. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment on my poem.

[Justsimplyjulia]

Any day. I love your work

I feel so out of the loop lately with the resurgence of the ballad form on the site haha You've undoubtedly had a hand in spearheading that resurgence my friend...your work is romantic in mood, and
Romantic in the style of the era that carries that title...not much more I can say to add, the public has clearly spoken and anointed this one a hit...wonderful piece :)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Steve...I flip back to this style occasionally, just so i don't forget how it is done.

[Leigh]

The last verse wraps it up nicely, I am imagining you writing a love letter and putting fairy dust in the envelope. 'Every thought of beauty is a thought that I love you' is a beautiful line as both love and beauty make the heart feel light and a person more than alive and in some way there is a transference of Magic between them perhaps, I really like that a lot.

[Jack...]

Thanks Leigh, there is always magic when love is involved. I appreciate you stopping by.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Only whimsical fairies can create such splendor!
