Magical Pages

These pages are filled
With ardent musical notes
Making the ears listen
And pulsing heart elope

These pages dance with love
Twirling with complete ease
Swaying in your direction
Only wanting to please

These pages are magical
Wrapped in blazing fire
Singing with midnight song
Capturing lover’s desire

These pages quietly float
With light feathery wings
Speaking soft poetic words
A passionate tale they sing

These pages glow brightly
Scattering silver light
Illuminating our minds
In darkness allowing light

These pages speak of many things
Topics always changing
Leaving pieces behind
A puzzle that’s rearranging

I thought of all my notebooks, handwritten poetry over the years. Some completed poems, others half started and then some, maybe one liners. A collection of my poetical thoughts on a range of different topics. I thought of all the effort and love, yet alone hours spent composing. And you being a poet I can tell from this poem understand that perfectly. Good morning from me and no doubt, late, late for you PB.

I still write all my poems by hand in hardback journals. Handwritten poetry allows the creative process to come through and work itself out.

I’m glad you enjoyed this poem and that it made you think of your own writing.

[Chris Shaw]

I do both. I have been using an app on my phone recently, but have notebooks everywhere.

[Poetic Beauty]

I like the hard back journals because they look nice and it keeps them organized

[Pete]

magical indeed. this is so cool and clever. i love it. the magic that is born on those pages. your heart and soul poured out on them. whatever it takes to express your truth and feelings. bravo ... :)

[Poetic Beauty]

Each page each poems is a magical page born of something I’m feeling or craving

[sharonlee]

Beautiful flow and rhythm... I thought of all my notebooks and pages of scribbled thoughts, which my grown children will day shift through and read, perhaps learning a few secrets about their mother...
... I also thought of these 'pages ' here at Writers Cafe... and how important communities of this nature really are... thank you.

I have many journals filled with my poetry. I like hardback journals. Once I’m gone there will be a lot for them to read and may give them a bit of a shock at times. I have three journals that finals go in. One for a friend in Arizona, one for my friend whose nickname is Dragon and one for all other poems. When I’m gone Arizona will get his journals, and Dragon will be sent his. And the rest my son can keep.

I often think that my written words will be my legacy for my children ... not in a monetary sense, more in a spiritual healing sense.

[Poetic Beauty]

I often think that way as well. My sisters and my son will have pages of heart felt poems to pour over reading parts of my inner most soul.

[lightsong]

one of your bests my friend! so wonderfully written with a tune of warm tenderness, your photo makes it more personally special, your voice lovely and intimate here.

[Poetic Beauty]

There is much love pour into my poems. So I wanted to give a hint at romance and tenderness

[Relic]

I use to write in notebooks but when I discovered the computer, that all changed.

I like your interpretation of words on the page and how they come alive. This is another poem of yours that sings.

Nicely done, PB.

I love old school writing in hard back leather journals. It helps the writing process for me

[Ziggy Matthews]

"Leaving pieces behind/ a puzzle that's rearranging." I like these last phrases. You do a good job of capturing writing inside of this piece. Although it's not always my favorite topic to read about, I believe your poem is very well written and captures the beauty of words very well. Thank you for sharing with me and requesting me to read it!!! I enjoyed it.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. I love to write

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Whoa, this poem is amazing! I love the last line "A puzzle that’s rearranging", the whole poem though had me smiling as I read it. It has a cheerful vibe that I believe one would hope to find in something they read on this site or any, for that matter. Wonderfully explained and expressed, Poetic Beauty. Tyfs

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked this poem. It is about my love for writing and about the love I write about.

[Coyote Poetry]

My dear friend. Amazing flow of words and thoughts.
"These pages quietly float

The above lines. So smooth and so good. Poetry and story should smooth the heart and the soul. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

As of late my spirit has wanted more light feathery and magical poems filled with hints at romance

[John the Baptist]

Are the pages described here literal, or are they symbolic of something else? My guess is that they stand for love itself, probably of the romantic variety. Or, if the last verse is a hint, perhaps the mind when it is illuminated by love. The mind is indeed a puzzle, ever rearranging.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thai poem is both about literal pages and with the love entwined within them

“These pages glow brightly
Scattering silver light
Illuminating our minds
In darkness allowing light “
Precious handwritten pages, when found and cherished, chronicle the moments and memories of our lives. You have described this beautifully in word and picture. Thank you so much for recalling, and sharing yours with us here.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I have a deep love for writing and I can tell what or who each poem is about
