Fairy Dreams
Folder:
Faeries I was down in the meadow pondering my mind,
When I spotted a rose petal falling behind.
I mused that the butterflies were just having fun,
Flitting and flirting under a daffodil sun.
I sat by the stream and drank tea with a dragon.
We had dream berry bread and wine by the flagon.
Up popped a Fairy King on top of a starfish.
"Fly with me, dear maiden.I'll be all that you wish."
I thanked the dear dragon and waved on with a tear.
He promised me happiness with nothing to fear.
I hopped on the starfish and cherished my lover,
Touching his pure heart and the strength of his fervor.
We rode to the meadow and lay in fresh roses.
Passions breathed kisses and the stroking of noses.
Now, musing, the bright butterflies pondered the fun,
As we flitted and flirted in daffodil sun.
Time and again, it was more pleasure than rainbow.
A laugh and a touch and a whisper would follow.
Sated, I trifled: " Lord, are you granting my wish?"
"Or, is this a sweet dream caused by riding a fish?"
"It is all that you wished for." he said with a kiss.
"Your soul so long troubled, it mislaid all of this."
Then, I awoke. The gentle dragon was weeping.
"I'm sorry, my darling, you and I were sleeping."
"Fairy Kings and starfish do not ride in this stream."
"Your lover, your heart's passions, were only a dream."
"But, I have been part of you since time has begun."
"I am real, beloved, in this daffodil sun."

You encompass such a gift to entwine reality and imagination together so perfectly in your words. im in complete awe of your work its unbelievably profound. Great writing!!
Dreams are wonderfully creative things, and add a certain mystic quality to every day life and its troubles....they help us keep moving forward, and give us a goal to strive for..... Love is also a magical, motivating force, and when combined with our dreams, it can heal our pains... yet it can also accentuate them as well... I do hope this beautiful dream, expressed in such dazzling style, was more uplifting than painful for you..... Great poetic artistry!!!!
