Last Night's Fancy

...i wish my pen could capture last night's fancy,

flight of divergent apparitions took my breath away

hallucinations of a dream so real it made me weep

for i saw your face high above the clouds

you appeared as an angel with chimerical wings,  

in their flutter released thousands of butterflies

each one carried a smile of incandescent light

promised posies of an altered moment & space

where poetry becomes reality traced on lofty clouds

amidst trances of tranquility & enchanted frivolity

so here i await on ink's flow with a fool's faith

of glinting endings and freshly burnish'd beginnings...

There are those moments and dreamy escapes that the pen can't capture its essence and glory especially when it is about a special one in our lives. The time and space are surely altered for they reside in a different reality than ours. I think you have been touched by the transcedental nature of the spirit realm and you are feeling like a butterfly in the azure skies...Thank you for sharing ...:)......................

So often I feel this exact same way. The other day I was sitting out on a sand dune looking at the ocean. The breeze was the perfect temperature, children were playing, people were riding by on their horses, and the sea was absolutely tranquil...I wished that I could capture that snapshot in words, but it seemed that no matter how hard I tried my words paled in comparision to the actual scene.

You write with such soft beauty. Whenever I need to feel the ethereal nature of the world, your poetry is a pleasant and apt refuge.
