Bemused

Moonrise on the forest deep your maze of pubsescent light cast imperial spells on me. Hush my muse ~my knight-to-be~ I shine now, a salvo of light, a willing squire pinned beneath the weight of a swelling sky. Your naked stars stun reason pulsating images time after time. Basking in nighfall my eyes flow with you. Bathed in softness, drenched in wetness, waist high where the river meets a restless sea, a moon flower unfurled for me. I beheld my blossom at first sight~ I washed with hydrangea petals, captured clove in fisted sage. Charmed by it’s freshness forever fragrance is mine. Fervently I wilt with loss~ bend in shades of sorrow. I dangle from an olive branch over my den as I dream of ways to braid my honey-rayed hair in apple blossoms and holly. If it not be for the feast of apple, still sweet upon my lips, the bite of bitter worm would not steal my senses. I heed winter’s wind as it frolics atop the last tumbling leaves of autumn, straining to hear delightful whispers in my ear whorling secrets of love. Yet they’re too close to see, these mysteries calling me. Me, a pouting nymph mounted at the tip of an ivy crown searching for a single season of tumultuous making, the meaning of mindless awe~ this one that has plucked me has escaped into a cloud. Oh where on earth is my love? May fate be on its way, in flight, to a place only wind and rippling feathers know~ where grass grows lighter and sunlight burns brighter. Trumpet wings echo soft music as sleep takes me into it’s arms. Is that you my dearest dream? "It is I, your dream come true~ I have a gift for you, a message cast in light, carried by an enchanted breeze. You see, a lark left rubescent song ever so high up in the trees before shadow splendor chanced to peek from dawning dusk. In a dream’s wake a fluorescent rose enfolds the first kiss of light. A star calls your name in time's steady approach when words join music a song will uncover the secrets of love."A child's promise, a promise to myself that when I could I would write a fairy tale poem and so here it is, my first fairy tale narrative in poetic voice and verse.
