Once upon a times...once again

A poem written to Jimi Hendrix' Little Wing

 

 

 

 

Once upon a time…once again

 

 

 

 

“Well she's walking through the clouds”

Little wings keep her upright

as she strolls through the sunrise

now brightly glowing within my heart,

blind to my feelings

 

“With a circus mind that's running wild”

Beneath azure tents of atmosphere,

smiling at another perfect day in her world

While tame white tigers

roar on cue

 

“Butterflies and zebras”

Watercolor happiness fills her eyes

as she chases the beauty of this nature,

caressing all that she touches

with the wonder that is her essence

 

“And moonbeams and fairy tales”

Moonbeam, something I have not called her

and once upon a times, when poppies and dandelions sing

the saddest of songs for my desires

flood in a downpour of dreams not realized

 

“That's all she ever thinks about”

Him...while frolicking childlike atop cotton candy visions

never once looking my way,

finding this love I hold so gently,

only for her

 

“Riding with the wind”

 

On whispered zephyrs she disappears

as day drinks of twilight

and weary eyes find star light harsh…I sleep,

waiting for the new day, waiting for her…once again

Oooh, you've outdone Jimi Hendrix! I love this Jack...one line just flows to the next.

On whispered zephyrs she disappears
as day drinks of twilight

...and you know I love a zephyr! Excellent my friend.
