You smile sadly at me
Disappointed once more
The love that was isn’t
The timing seems all wrong
Come, let me make you laugh
Let me tell you stories
Of moons that swing on trees
And dance with vapor trails
Of a lost unicorn
Stranded in someone’s dream
Who ran with fireflies
Until you fell asleep
Come let me show you snowflakes
Frozen in summer heat
Gold starbursts in tidal pools
And nebulous puppy grins
Let my thumbs erase
The sorrow from your brow
As I tell you of an old volcano
Burning against all odds
Of a forgotten wild grass
Sweet as barley in springtime
Soft as heather in the breeze
Warm to the pilgrim’s bed
Come to the edge of rain
With me and pluck a drop
For the double rainbow
Waiting in the sunshine
You smile gently at me
Recognizing once more
The love that was and is
The timing seems quite right
unbuttoned or undone 
Yet again, you speak to my life.

Love how you write the ordinary into fantastical. Piques my interest to the stories behind. Wish I could grab a cafe chair and wile away some hours. That, would be an awesome convo 🙂
Love also the purple flowers, what are they?
Saw that exact same sky last night. It’s cool how the moonlight looks like it wants to bathe the edges of the clouds in rainbow colors; but because it is quiet night and half the world is sleeping, it reluctantly stays just this side of “Fabuloouus!”

That would be a fun convo! I have a few questions myself!
The purple thingy smells sweet in the morning( bonus) a bit like freesia, but not so heady. I think it’s “solanium” or something like that. The bush is in bloom from june till the cold hits, and sometimes it keeps putting a blossom just for the hell of it… Or to cheer us on, don’t know.
A friend of mine says that every day is an adventure, you just have to find it (or make it up). That’s what I do here. 🙂
Great harvest moon doing her thing right now.Yes. Fabulous and potent magic!

Em. Your enchanted pen has farcaster powers! I find myself teleported by words that paint visions and speak of an unrequited love suddenly returned with a smile. Willy has gone all pie plate eyed since I read this to him. 🙂

Sweet Wee dragon, the inspiration for this came first from a sad smile, then from your last post. I saw Sonia’s smile and ran with it…

Oh my, Em! Now I’m pie plate eyed as well. Now I know why I felt so connected to your poem. I really have seen that smile before. I’m honored and touched that Sonia’s smile inspired part of this beautiful poem. It was Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos with his farcaster device I thought of when I read your poem. The farcaster allowed one to travel the universe to spellbinding worlds and back home again in time for dinner. Your magic pen does that too. 😉
