He always bought her geraniums
in the brightest shade of red
they reminded him of mommy
is what he always said.

Because they were so colorful
and were sure to bring a smile
she'd plant them in the window box
and nurture them for a while.

Don't cry mom, I'll be home soon
I'm off to start life on my own
she stood there waving goodbye to him
then she noticed the flowers were grown.

Geraniums for her window box
in the brightest shade of red
they reminded her of her loving son
and the things he always said.

Time passed by so quickly
he hasn't been around for a while
but each time she sees her geraniums
they continue to bring a smile.

In a recent letter he told her
he was starting a family of his own
his wife had planted flowers
and he'd noticed how much they've grown.

Geraniums for her window box
in the brightest shade of red
they still remind me of mommy
in his letter, is what he said.

In a dream last night, my nightly voyage,
over mountaintops so fair
I drifted slowly toward the morning
Sailing gently through the air.

Away I rode, and steered so sharp
this ship of fondest fancy hue
to gather my thoughts of moonless nights
and to recapture images of you.

With all my wiles of needed grace
caught up in moments spent afar
my eyes drift often to starry skies
to settle on the brightest star.

My wish made clear upon my quest
to find the heart akin to mine
that soul set free an age ago
touched on my lips like soft white wine.

The sweetest taste of burden felt
on a voyage so long ago
will be the captured lust of my raging heart
when I find this women I've yet to know.

But in all deepest haunts and farthest lands
my trip to you seems never ending
but I carry on in fondest hopes
of finding the love your heart keeps sending.

I wake to find my dreams are passing
as my pulse slows back to norm
and I realize my dreams are unneeded
for my love is with me snuggled warm.

Alas, she dared to dream
of the places He could take her,
both in her heart, and in her mind.
She thought of the things she'd leave behind,
to become His one true desire.

Fairy tale fantasies and myths of old:
she knew He, of all people,
could make them come alive,
as He dried the tears from her eyes,
once again, making her whole.

So, with ribbons of satin, in delicate packages,
she tied all her fears and doubts.
Sending them off in a wild balloon ride,
she waved to them one final good-bye,
then watched them slowly fade away.

Over the mountains she once had to climb,
they disappeared, finally gone.
Now, safe and secure, held in His arms,
she realized He'd never allow harm
to come anywhere near her ever again.

Yes, she dared to dream
and then to believe,
in the Love this man offered and shared.
He had made her fully aware
that dreams can and do come true.

Happily ever after, they will be,
just as the fairy tales depict,
with a love that will stand time's tests.
She knew she could finally rest
in the embrace of the dream He made true.

In ethers of cerulean skies
where roses bloom on lofty planes
where passions spread their wings and rise,
where love resides and beauty reigns.
Oh, dear enchanting reverie!
Take me, take me, I exclaim!
Take me as a stowaway
concealed in cargo bins of things
to let me feel and see today
the height and depth this journey brings.
Oh precious, precious reverie,
transport me to that special place
my beating heart beseeches thee
to show me love’s entrancing face.

Do you bid me adue
wishing me fair the well
Waving me goodbye,
as off to war I sail

May fair winds fill your sheets
as they carry you away.
May calm seas greet you
throughout the whole day.

Do you stand before the gate
crying as i go,
batteling demons of hell
I shall never know

Do not turn to watch me
as you sail away,
or my crying will be evident
as you leave this day.

Will you keep me near my love
with kind thoughts, in your heart
Pray for me the years
while we are apart?

Oh my dearest, sweet lover
who war must take away
keep me in your heart
each and every day.

And like all sailors afore
those cowards and the brave
hoping Davey Jones
has not my open grave

And when your ship is but a speck
far and far away
will i go and cry
for many and a day

Wave to me and smile
being of good cheer.
Just know i shall return
to be with you my dear.

Oh I pray the gods
who live so far away
to send me back my dearest
on another day.

Dreams-
They're everywhere-
In buildings tall and wide,
In movies great, and not-so-great,
In coins shiny as the stars,
Yes, you'll find them everywhere.

Most say no, not everywhere,
Well, that's not entirely true,
If you dream as the dreamers do,
Look at something
Remember it and you'll see it tonight
But, if you are not a child (at heart),
As the real dreamers are,
It is true
Unseen are these mysterious visions.

Dream as the dreamers do
Through your pain and suffering,
Then you too would feel the joy
You'd fly in balloons with ships for your base.
Ride on dolphins,
When your eyes are just closed on a roller coaster.

Yes. These are great,
But within lies a greater force.
The imagination,
It can enter your dreams with its fear and horror.
Nightmares are they-
With demons, monsters, ghosts, and trolls
All saying 'Come…To DIE
HA HA HA HA
Your screams arise.
You awaken and still hear it-
The evil screeching of laughter,
You still see it-
The faces of all,
Mouths formed with a smile.

These happen too-
To the monster (at heart)
But they-some-do change
They change for the castles and fairies,
Yes, the bad change and the good stay
For what?
Dreams.

Floating balloon aired ships, marble clayed tall walls,
this history did exist, of a land so very far.
With templed columned cones, windowed color glass shapes,
a fairy tale of a home, a land that never stayed.

With the suns gleaming rays, on a cool autumn day,
a woman waving bye, to a ship in air it flied.
Connected to a balloon, heading towards the moon,
her tears along her cheeks, were trinkling in the breeze.

Over castled peaks, a land of stone carved homes,
this ship can clearly see, miles of tree topped cones.
Their journey was to find, a land so far away,
to search for gold filled minds, and land to crop their hay.

This vessel of red wood planks, trimmed of silver lace,
knitted cloth wooled laved, upon the stern carved face.
With masses of guided veils, it sails a journeyed path,
and the stars would never fail, their destiny would never lack.

As this massive aired shaped sphere, disappeared within the air,
Her awaiting woman walked in, her castled cone shaped den.
She wrote her last site seen, as it floated within the breeze,
A journey of mystery that flied, this 'Vessel Within The Sky'.
The END

It is the only place where dreams come first.
A place of moments that drift without a curse.
The princess calls out "Happy new year to all."
I look to the sky to see the ship fall.
It still bring dreamers that have no place in the real world.
Unlocking their nightmares with just two twirls.
In the real world, I wonder if a place like this still exist.
A place where a princess welcomes you with a kiss.

My hand waves as my heart cries
is this farewell or just goodbye
shadows hide the years that have passed
why could not our love last
as I stand steadfast, I realize

Mirrors in the sky reflects Love
While you travel on by, what do you think of
Does your heart stay behind
while you keep hold of mine
in time, we shall Love

As I stand waiting your return anticipating
a union of two hearts
As the Sunshine glows, the flowers long to know
how long we must be apart
for it’s Love

Is this the ship that will save my fate?
As I am locked behind this iron gate
"Over here" I yell incessantly
"Don't leave me again" I beg of thee

"What have I done to be punished this way?"
"Free me from my confinement today!"
"Have mercy upon my soul, dear ship"
"For my captors won't release their grip"

I have no desire to become adaptive
I do not deserve to be held captive
In a kingdom where I do not belong
When I am not guilty of committing a wrong

"Oh please won't someone rescue me?"
"Why can't someone answer my plea?"
Forever locked away in my hell
I eternally wave my life farewell

Once upon a time
in the land of pretend
I stood on the shore
as your ship sailed in.

Tales of adventure
woven in time
enchanted my days
still float in my mind.

You captured, m'lord
a piece of my heart
smittenly taken
one night in the dark.

A smile at the thought
still crosses my lips
forever I'll wait
for your return trip.

Ever wished to soar in the sky?
Watching as birds go winging by
Looking down to gaze on the earth
Perhaps a country of your birth.
Or a faraway isle where palms sway
On a secluded beach within a bay
A deep blue ocean where whales can splash
Each wave tumbles on a beach with a crash.
Glancing at a sun so golden bright
Stars winking above in the black of night
Up where the wind is born free
Below patchwork of fields to see
Then turning back no more to roam
To the comfort of a place called home!
pixierose©

The day I bid my love good-bye,
To take his "airship" wandering,
I said, "If God had meant for man to fly,
He would've give him wings."

"Not so!", He cried, Don't you see?
God placed us 'midst confusion,
But gave us the ability,
To seek for a solution.

God gave imagination,
And creativity,
Powers of observation,
Responsibility.

If God intended man to fly,
He'd never give him wings,
He'd give a mind that questions, "Why?"
And a soul that dreams such things.

Beautiful flowers in window boxes grow
From the hills and valleys they do show

Stonewalls and cast iron gates stand tall
For 25 years I have never been past these walls

I look high in the sky
A huge object I do spy

What could this be I do wonder
Could it be my knight in shining armour?

Or just another dream in my head
Another figment of my imagination instead

Deep imaginings center a facade with internal thoughts to dream...
of challenging a course to journey through timeless memories
with happy goodbyes.

Here at the palatial gate of heavenly wisdom,
one can send all thy love to wave...
to kiss forevermore thy beauteousness
of all endearing and beholden magickal flights to fancy.

No ghosts to fathom
a ship of fools so high...
so deliberately sailing away
to skies unkown-
courting the ever blooness
of a detailed and brightly shining spectrum of hope,
contained with in a world of love and devotion.
All is gone...
but hope does remain...
although destiny has been reinvigorated somehow to view;
a calibre setting...
too unique and so new.

A Saga of enchanting delight
has been foretold
inscribed in cryptographical realizations
of life and duty.

To wander alive is a beginning
of surprising and challenging horizons...
people live to breathe in a moment's pause...
a delicacy of stationary and incomparable gratification.

Render all authority
unto thy abiding kalla arrectis auribus (call to hear)...
to ears no sight familiarity...
an uncommoness abounds
yet cries...
producing stolen tears
by mythomanic misery,
leaving such a dedicated princess
befallen of her maidenly goodness?

Should it take a Sage
to ponder this inquisitional heresy
brought on by feverish fallacies?

Aye contempt thee not to think of a place
so untouched to freedom's mannerisms,
and left to smolder in deceptive causes of ill repair?!!

A theoretical conference
coexisting creatively
is quite a fair air...
ballooning to all compromising allegories...
will give a memory
it's logical song.
Deem a daydreamatic state to believe
and trust...
always...
and thus so be it-
all must stay aligned
how ever long!

Waving my arm in disbelief,
as if to say goodbye,
I watched the massive air ship,
as it drifted through the sky.

Remembering a dear friend,
that I had lost a year ago,
teardrops fall from my eyes,
it's still hard to let him go.

But my friend is in a better place,
which makes life much easier for me,
because I know he will be safe from harm,
watching life from high above within a cloudy sea.

Lone damsel, petite and demure
continues to watch, standing tall
Alongside wrought iron gates
holding vigil at the garden wall

Yesterdays cherished memories
forever embedded within her heart
Remaining throughout lonely days
from minds eye, never more to part

Memories safely stowed away 
holding her securely within precious love
Continuously soothing her loneliness
as would the cooing of the morning dove

Looking far beyond the hills and dale
where winding waters flow
Windows adorned with fragrant bloom
Overlook the tranquil valley below

With constant outstretched arms
in waiting to welcome you home
I still find myself often wondering
will you return, never more to roam?

Is this an illusion, or do I see a ship
constructed of finest European beech
Sweeping silently over the valley
upon slightest Zephyr breeze

Lingering there, seemingly motionless
it appears to remain beyond my reach
How did you fare upon your voyage
whilst you were sailing the seven seas

As I watch your slow approach
my body succumbs to gentle quivers
Anticipation heightens with the knowlege
that soon your touch will result in shivers.
