Masquerade I dream in colored shadows Passing through the grey of seem. Of acrobatic sparrows Slipping through the wind and stream. I whisper to the flowers Tilting heads in flowered grace By aromatic power Gliding through the gardens space. I dance in ghostly floating Haunting all that comes to view By sophistry of noting Turn it all to shining new. I be king within this realm Bringing life my kingdoms seem Only I can overwhelm The real of life with a dream. Here my dragon smells the glade In a magic masquerade. |

I dream in colored shadows Passing through the grey of seem. ==================== I dance in ghostly floating Haunting all that comes to view By sophistry of noting Turn it all to shining new. I be king within this realm Bringing life my kingdoms seem Only I can overwhelm The real of life with a dream. Here my dragon smells the glade In a magic masquerade. =========================== In the spaces of our dreams ... we can be kings and queens and in the fantasy we shall play. From this mystic masquerade ... we shall rule the glen and glade while we will sit upon our golden thrones. In the shadows of quiet sleep ... are heard whispered prayers of souls to keep and the angels keep the demons and dragons at bay. ********* I sent over a couple more of me gator girls to entertain that randy dragon while ya sleep. *winkiewinkie*  No one ever told me ... I could get lost while standing still ... and sorrow doesnt make a sound ... as it takes away all your will. |

I am surrounded by sighs... This is lovely... I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |

"I be king within this realm Bringing life my kingdoms seem Only I can overwhelm The real of life with a dream." Sy--Enjoyed this. Excellent imagery and writing.

Sy, The imagery in this is suberb! I love the dragon at the end. Perfect.  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
