I live in another dimension
where magic exists unrestrained,
where fairies and elves break the tension
cloud riding, is something that's trained

I reside within parallel verse
that touches the earth now and then,
where magic is blessing - not curse
And small are the deeds of all men.

I live in a fabled existence.
My wings in this place have been furled
I conquer without much resistance
for my will, round magic, is swirled.

The horn of my brow is my making
my glistening coat shines like dew
I gallop cross earth - leave it shaking
in wonder at all I can do.

You hear me but see me not passing
the scenes of your world are too loud
in thunder you learn of my laughing
My wisdom you hear 'neath the crowd

And softly I come to you dreaming
to show you what's won and what's lost
the magic I give could be streaming,
yet high, are you counting the cost

Contained by the circle of magic
I dwell in this world and yet not
and the tale that I tell is quite tragic
for the magic is something forgot



Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Kethry~ Fascinating read in it's entirety,
but this is by far my favorite verse.

And softly I come to you dreaming
to show you what's won and what's lost
the magic I give could be streaming,
yet high, are you counting the cost.

Ever so nicely you write~

Blues Serenade,
thank you kind lady I have a particular affection for that verse too.

CSKpoet, thank you for your lovely words of praise.

passing shadows,
isn't two entries enough. I don't want to seem greedy. Besides if I publish only in anthologies what will I put in my own publication? (Just kidding, there is no my own publication)

I live in another dimension...

I reside within parallel verse...

I live in a fabled existence...

The horn of my brow is my making...

You hear me but see me not passing...

And softly I come to you dreaming...

Contained by the circle of magic...


Look what I found, Kethry...a poem within a poem....

you ARE magic....
