Blue Moon Magic

A re post and new title... A little editing as well.

Blue Moon Magic

 

 

Regal...

her unicorn stands

 upon the wind-etched dunes

sea oats dancing

 around impatient hooves,

sensitive ears tuned in

 to the song of the wind and waves,

alert eyes reflecting

 shimmering blue moonlight;

the tide is moving out…

 

 

 

Patient...

his mermaid hovers

floating within the stillness of the cooling tide pool,

hermit crabs scurry

anemones sway

 beneath her moon bright shadow,

gooseflesh rises,

 sensitive with anticipation

knowing without seeing

 feeling without touching

she waits…

 

 

 

The blue moon is high…

precious and painful

time stands between them.

Abandoning his pride

 he gallops toward her,

approach is felt

reverberating

 across the sandy expanse,

need is frothing

flared nostrils

feeding her scent to his heart,

the retreating tide bares all…

 

 

 

Rising...

 she turns the world

 to face her lover,

transformation binds a spell,

her fathomless, bejeweled gaze

 fixes his being to hers,

light touch captures

two immortal souls

fully human,

truly one within

this mystic moment...

 

 

 

Oceanic…

urgency washes their frantic bliss,

salty kisses tie

fated couple's longing,

intensity has risen to the starry heavens.

Weakness smothers 

as they tumble back to earth;

waves crashing

a faint echoing of their surrender.

 

 

Rushing…

the tide rises,

western dunes corral the blue moon,

 eastern sky is gaining light

across the rolling seas.

Drifting out of his arms

the mermaid accepts

impatient waves,

a prancing unicorn

relentlessly pushed

 toward the lonely dunes.

The spell is broken…

The tide rises…

western dunes corral the blue moon,

the sky is gaining light

across the rolling seas.

Drifting out of his arms

the mermaid accepts the rising tide,

Impatient waves

push a prancing unicorn

 toward the lonely dunes.

The spell is broken…

This reminds me of the best fantasy movies made in the late eighties early nineties -- it paints a vivid but dream-like picture ...

[David Scott]

Thank you KL...
I'm thinking Lady Hawk? What movie are you thinking?

[Lyn Anderson]

Willow, Legend ...

[David Scott]

Ah... yes, a little :)

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Just stopping by to lose myself in your beautiful world painted by lovely words and images... Seems like I picked the perfect poem for my escape... Thank you for transporting me into a gorgeous dream...well done as always!

[David Scott]

Thank you kindly K. Please let M and Q know agent 00driller (my secret agent name) is trying to escape back to reality... Wish me luck. I lost the keys to the Aston Martin. ;)
You are welcomed to my dream world anytime.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Hahaha, awesome, I will let them be aware ... Don't be gone for too long. Thank you I will visit more!

[Frieda P]

Hardly, I'm hypnotized within your poetry David...not sure which line I love more, they all cast their own special touch of magic. You know how I feel about unicorns, but you may have changed my mind. ;-) Adore this one, what was it titled before? 'Sea oats' now that's something you hardly read in poetry....Outstanding!

[David Scott]

Thank you for reading this again Frieda. It was titled "The Unicorn and the Mermaid".
I will have to write you a poem about Sea Oats now... ;)
I am blushing at you generosity.

[Frieda P]

Oh with that title I probably poo poo'd it ;-) Like this one muchly better...well deserved my friend, well deserved.

[David Scott]

Funny... Yes, you gave me a hard time the first go around... ha.

[Frieda P]

Ha you must have me mistaken for someone else, I'd never do that ;-P

[David Scott]

OK... I wrote you a poem about Sea Oats... sort of... ha.

[Frieda P]

Oh sheesh, right on it..........ha

"Rising, it seems she turns the world to face her lover.

Transformation binds a spell; bejeweled gaze fixes his being to hers.

A light touch captures two immortal souls, now in human form.

Salty kisses tie the longing couple’s fate."

For a scientist David your imagination is wonderful steeped in the frantic bliss of romance, in the starry heavens shining down on waters, on the world turning around a magical spell of poetry. Mesmerizing...:)..........

They are truly one…

[David Scott]

Ha... *smiling*
Thank you Sami. I am a romantic at heart to be sure.

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. That shows. You are welcome...:)..................

[Lowvee Cole]

That this poem had the word Magic in it automatically pulled me in. Your words and the pictures they paint are enchanting. Thank you for a delectable read. You are truly talented!

[David Scott]

Thank you Lowvee. I must thank my muse for the inspiration of this poetry... I feel like I am less talented as a writer and more talented as a channel to express the beauty of my friends and nature.

[icelandicblue]

David this poem was simply spellbinding. What beautiful images and word choices. The entire thing is terribly romantic. You truly possess a poets heart.

[David Scott]

Thank you for seeing me behind the words Blue. Yet I feel this writing is given to me not created by me... I am happy your heart felt the romance here.
