~ White Unicorn Dream ~ only one may seat the horse A palerider of fate sipping his morning cup of storm leaving is always late black rain does not trickle down where it must always mist leaving the grass like tossed salad green-alive and crisp. blurred are crooked backgrounds hooves paw; smoke from snorts a power that sings from galloping veils secrets told in sealed waxy reports He never thought he would forget or lose how to stalk his way back home face to nuzzle, they compare life alibi's haunted are the aloof and the alone He asks each dream, and each time: refused if he knows the right name to say with a heart held firmly held in his hand utters: Love as, finally both,they ride away |

Jeff darling boy I could just say something short like this is good writing? Noooooooooooo of course not, because it’s not good writing, it’s stunningly fabulous writing. YOU are a superb writer my friend and this is utterly stunning in its beauty Fabulous writing Absolutely excellent I love the lines and the construction you really have expressed so much in this. Excellent absolutely wonderful Utterly utterly beautiful He asks each dream, and each time: refused if he knows the right name to say with a heart held firmly held in his hand utters: Love as, finally both, they ride away Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

You captured my attention with the unicorn title, and kept it with a magical flow of words and thoughts. Love, a magic potion. |

I like how you wrote this. Your images are crystal and potent. Soulmates are they, the equine and the rider. It is a beautiful story. Sherry Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today.

Master Seymour: Thanks guy, for the time in reading and your most generous reply! Magnus: from one old-school romantic poet to another, it's the only way to be, don't you think? Thankx, Magnus. Maaaaaaaaa-Shhhhhhhhhaa: How's my Brit friend these days? **smile** Even though it seemed a simple topic, it had more than one thought process going on. As usual, huh? hehehe You are the kindest dearest Lady. Thankx is never enuff. Say hi to Kriss, please, for all of us here at Shadow-Central. Sunshine: delightful of YOU to give your atta-boy to this humble poem. That was sweet. . .thank you! May peace and love always be in your heart's hearth. ShadowRider Thankx, Y'all!! |

Morning Nance! How are you this fine fine day? Unicorn's symbolize many things to me: the loss of mystery, the gain of legends, the majesty of mythical power and of dreams. Don't know what I would do without your words, Nance. ~huuugg~ Noah, your words in reply exceed the poetry of the poem itself, Ami. **smile** But yes, you hit on the idea: that the unicorn was the method of carrying away the sweet dreams to be lived together. You are compassionate AND clever. Ivy Rose: a perfect blend of names that I owe a favor to for replying so warmly. Thank you so much, Ivy. MidniteSun-Lady: hi kiddo! que pasa out 'dere in Alaska land. Love, in a purest sense, IS magical. Indeed it is! Hope you are doing well, and many thanks to you, sweet friend. MagicMystery: what a special treat it is to see your words here. I TRY to write even romantic pieces with a flavour of power words. Just my nature I guess. Never been known to tread without breaking the grass blades. hehehe HAVE been known to make people slap their haids and say: What in the Sam Hill is he talking about!? Pleased you enjoyed this, tho! May love and peace always stay warmed in your heart's hearth. Thanksx Y'all! Jeff |

That made me think of the Last Unicorn for some reason, and then it makes me think how I even remember that... Enjoyed. |
