Noiseless, like a child

Safely tucked in a blanket

Crocus sleep through night

Remember the magic, once held in your hand
Cast out to the waters, like fine grains of sand
Washed away in the mist, headed out to the sea
Mystical feelings that aren’t meant to be

Left on the rocks, all alone, with the wind
That caresses your hair, swirls, then rescinds
Like the love you once felt, deep in your heart
That spell has been broken, and it tears you apart

Leaving you to search for the answers, anew
Praying toward the light, in the sky, above you
Seeking, and yet, there is nothing to find
You wonder why life, must be so unkind

Still, you remain, under a spell, which you cast
Forgetting the others, from your quite human past
In agony, you struggle, as part woman, part fish
To remember the magic, tis your one final wish

Carnelian and Carbuncle ~ #poetry #JuneWriting

Carnelian and Carbuncle were lovers

A secret they kept, undercover

Should the ringmaster ever find out

They’d be fired for sure, there’s no doubt

Making the others keep the secret in tact

The circus clowns would, the master, distract

So they could meet under the tent, but, in a hurry

Time was so short, they would have to scurry

Running around, all over the grounds

Trying very hard, not to make any sounds

Entertaining the people, they were a sight to see

Two elephants, under the big top, making whoopee

Seems their secret was out, oh the shame!

And they had only themselves to blame

A lesson to be learned, never trust a painted face

Everyone knows, the clowns run the whole place

Over meadow, flowers bloom

Through the mist, a gathered plume

On wings that span the sky of gray

Adding color, to a dreary day

Gliding, beauty, through the air

Soaring about, I see her there

Gracing my eyes, in the clouded morn

Awakening this soul, no longer forlorn

Quick Exit ~ #poetry #JuneWriting

Lighting the skies, in the shape of the sun

Satellites, like stars, gathered and hummed

Ready to take over, this planet called Earth

Looking for a reason, for their alien rebirth

Awaiting, the mothership orders them to proceed

Each of them, anxious, to complete their deed

Hurriedly, landing, on fields and mountain tops

Running, grabbing, and returning with their crops

Back on board, where the engines were gunning

Successfully defeating the humans, how cunning

Never revealing to us, this new hidden race

That made a quick exit, back into outer space
