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

How wonderous are your words of romance and how majestic are those whispers in her ears for even nature awakens to love and passion of life...:)

Exquisitely soft and finely etched images proliferate this one, Jack. Sometimes your subtle dreamy words take me to fantasy land! "Magic comes this night when fairies dance" so like a fairy tale....and yet the poem has very honest romantic longing in it too. Jack, I've said it before, but I'll say it again. you are a true romantic! This is so very lovely. Lydi**

Lydi, to me, there is no better way to be. Love to me is true happiness and hopefully I help bring a little of that feeling to others through my poetry. Thank you so very much. Your kind words always touch me.

Your writings, many times, have a delicate touch. Surprising for a man, but it definitely is refreshing and captures us, ladies, and takes our breath away. So hopeful for love to be shared. Lovely writing as usual!
