Oh, I know a Land of Make Believe
Where, when my work is through
In twilight dim I steal right in
To roam again with you.

Away to the Land of Make Believe
I sail in my favourite chair
Still, I stand once more on the rocky shore..
And wait to meet you there.

The pools all shine like a silver lake,
It's here that my dreams come true.
For your face is mirrored in every pool
And I'm happy again with you.

Oh, that we might stay in Make Believe
With your loving hand in mine
As we wander love's enchanted lanes
...Until the end of time.

A friend told me very recently, if you dream it, you can have it.  Those 'other' realities can be so sweet!  You capture the magic of dreaming.  And the magic of dreaming captured you, and us, too!

Such an uplifting poem Tinker.  Your words of romance touched my heart. Shall we walk hand in hand through the Land of Make Believe?

believe in what your heart feels...

You are living up to your name, Enchanting One!

I can assure you that there were many a sigh uttered during the readings of this lovely penning! ~ and a few of them were mine!

Warm, autumnal hug,

Beautiful write, Nancy!  Oh, yes, that land of "make believe" - how captivating it is until reality oils the palms and it slips through our fingers.  But I sigh in longing!

(sigh) Oh Nancy, this made me swoon and tear up because it is soooooooo beautifully dreamy and makes me think ever so much of my deam girl who I still dream ever soooooooo much to meet and kiss for the first time! (angel friendship hugs) How beautiful it would be if we could truly camp out in the land of make-believe as long as time itself, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Nancy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Enchantress,

How fitting that the first poem I read of your is enchanting!

Why does it remind me of Edward Lear's 'The Jumblies', possibly because it sails away with my imagination and is very much in his perfect form and style.

I keep tripping over rhyming poets on this site, maybe I'll stay a while...

Have Fun,

Ivor

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.
