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

Elvin magic flies about

Wistful thoughts crying out

Tearing at her soul, exposed

Longing to forget these woes

Of lovers lost

And left behind

Of broken hearts

For which she pined

Nights where bodies

Intertwined

Locked forever

In her mind

The Century of Certainty ~ #MayWriting #poetry

I think it was just a century ago

Yes, I’m certain it wasn’t much longer

When I cast the spell of fire’s light

Twas then I became much stronger

 

Making colors dance, in rhythmic circles

While, below, Earth lit up the night

I stood high, above the mountain tops

Watching clouds, with mysterious light

 

Magical spells, calling forth my sisters

Let them rise in celebrated breath

Let them shine their light, in the darkness

Giving purpose, to their immortal death

 

I could feel my sisters, gathered around me

One’s who had passed, still in their prime

Banished by those, who misunderstood

I knew know, it was nearly my time

 

This promise, I make, to those before

I will never let you be cast aside

For you are the fire, burning in my soul

The reason you shall never be denied

Friday Fantasy ~ Elfin Queen – #poetry

Mystic powers, in her hands

Elfin magic, carefully planned

A talisman of water, blue

That hides the secrets, no one knew

Of how she came to be an elf

Different from her mortal self

They called her queen, with scepter tall

She ruled their world, the big and small

Never to learn that their precious queen

Knew her victory had been foreseen

Magic, does my fiddle play

With music, that surrounds it

Heavenly sounds, a sweet array

In the air, that’s all around it

 

Listen to the whispering winds

Of the bow strings, as they glide

My fingers splayed, and disciplined

The fiddle and I, so unified
