Essence of the Rose

.

Rose-wizard-girl-magic_s

.

dragons at my doorstep
faeries by the fire
ease my mind of earthly care
to follow my desire

unicorns leave hoof prints
pressed into the snow
wherever they may lead me,
that’s where I will go

pages turn by magic
love within the prose
breezes whisper secrets
essence of the rose

fill my cup to the brim
with liquid love divine
promise me eternity
your heart paired with mine

    What a lovely poem…it inspired me to add a few lines to Dennis’ poem, knowing he is a caring and giving person:
    come on down for a taste
    a nibble of wizzard’s paste
    it’s seasoned with sympathy
    so you can care with empathy
    and drink the broth of kindness
    delve into benevolence.
    and fruits of compassion.,
    Oliana

    Take a look at the beautiful art work and poetry at this blog.
    to sweeten with a passion.

    1. Thanks, Cher, I find that an escape into fantasy is often necessary — just to keep my sanity. I love your blog, I love Chicago and I am a Canadian. I commend you:

      “Without uttering a word, I love to help others by sending them my love, appreciation, and gratitude. I do this through silent prayer, positive energy, and focused healing thoughts.”

      Cheers,
      Dennis xo

        what kind words to drink my coffee and watch the world wake up…
        I am glad you liked my words…energy of magick surrounds us as well as deep within us…words bring the colors and textures to the thoughts we give over to the unknown…hoping they bring a piece of magikc to someone…
        Thank you Dennis…your words make me smile…
        and I am glad you stop by and leave such kind ones on my little space here in time…
