Flight of the faeries.


A Faeries flight
in dark this night

magick dreams
are chased

if not for dust
 light glimmers
would rust

kindled spirits
amidst a spray

fondling sprites
evenings delight

felt in air 
surprise pursuing

lost are tears
betrayed by fears

 in heart not
 quite romanced

hidden frills
  in moonlights sills

entranced a 
 mind does find

our cuddled  dreams
as Faeries stream

Enchantment
Crossing minds

 an ending" bright
to spark this night

 as Faeries stream
within our dreams.

And the magick place might be just here

Not quite, not quite but it will be, it will be absolutely beautiful but! And the but, oh dear how to begin. I would like the lines to be a little more gathered into a form, four together; but one cannot just say that, as the meanings will have to determine the gaps, Then with a little tweeking, do they say? Here and there it will sing to us like the almost inaudible song of the faeries on the wing, if you listen very carefully when in some magiCK place you might hear them too. And the magick place might be just here beside and inside this poem. Why not read it out loud for us? Dear mantisceptor, now I can dare to say this, as your picture doesn't make me feel a little scared to even say one word. From Ann of Norway

If faeries exist, and my mother saw them!

If faeries exist, and my mother says she saw them with her sister one day, they went out to find them and both of them did(!) Well to continue the first sentence: if fearies exist, then you have magicKed them into my brain here, the good fearies, as you mention no harm or fright, just the tinkerbell of frills and caresses of their soft attire gold dust and silver spray, moonlit sills, thats where I am now, leaning on my window sill and bathed by the moonlight receive eyes that can see the unseen, a gift from the feary godmother, and I am thereby entranced. Love Ann of Norway
