fly me towards
the tiger moon
I asked the hawk high overhead
awakening dreams with a tune
sleeping within my warm cocoon
feather pillow, an earthly bed
fly me towards the tiger moon
near waters of the blue lagoon
resting against the tiger's head
awakening dreams with a tune
within his golden orbs I swoon
on wings of a hawk sorrow fled
fly me towards the tiger moon
heavenly skies, songs softly croon
mystical realm passion burns red
awakening dreams with a tune
night quickly fades, day arrives soon
bated breath I hang from a thread
fly me towards the tiger moon
I asked the hawk high overhead
awakening dreams with a tune
sleeping within my warm cocoon
feather pillow, an earthly bed
fly me towards the tiger moon
near waters of the blue lagoon
resting against the tiger's head
awakening dreams with a tune
within his golden orbs I swoon
on wings of a hawk sorrow fled
fly me towards the tiger moon
heavenly skies, songs softly croon
mystical realm passion burns red
awakening dreams with a tune
night quickly fades, day arrives soon
bated breath I hang from a thread
fly me towards the tiger moon
awakening
dreams with
a tune

Thanks for reading
I really enjoyed the flow of this poem, Truedessa. I felt as if I was swept away into a dream by your well chosen words.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, some dreams take on a life of their own.
DeleteThe moon is good but we would much rather fly to the tiger moon :) and yes wonderfully dreamy and magical...
ReplyDeleteI agree a tiger moon speaks to the heart...mystical and magical...
DeleteThis poem has a great flow and a dreamlike quality. You really captured the mood and brought us on a sleepy journey. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete~Jess
Thank you for visiting I hope you enjoyed the journey.
DeleteShall tiger moon be your escape, flying there on a scavenger? Dangerous flight, though a beauty in dreams. I might be happy to sleep until I truly awaken.
ReplyDeleteOh, the hawk is a good friend of mine and has always guided me in important matters. To fly with the hawk brings me joy releasing any sorrow I may carry. It is a bird of great vision. It could be dangerous but for me he comes with guidance.. "i might be happy to sleep until I truly awaken" so true Susan..
DeleteA great flow and awesome pic too. The only way to fly. Although a tiger might be more deadly than the man in the moon lol
ReplyDeleteWell, I do enjoy a dream with a cat and you know to fly with a hawk can only bring good things. Haha a tiger might be more dangerous than the man in the moon unless the man in the moon is an evil alien.

DeleteThe Villanelle has the dancing for properties that makes it a perfect poem for such a gentle dream,...
ReplyDeleteBjorn,
DeleteThanks, I do enjoy this form as the repetition enforces the message of the dream.
Oh how beautiful! "fly me towards the tiger moon", and the repetition - this is a delight to read.
ReplyDeleteFly me towards the tiger moon for that is a mystical place that I would like to explore a bit.
DeleteAs someone who is quite literally friends with a hawk, I think that's probably the best way to travel, especially to the tiger moon. Beautiful words as always, and a great mental escape.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys..I think on the wings of a hawk would be a delightful mode of transportation considering the destination. How can one not want to see a tiger moon?
DeleteYou ability with form wed to your keen imagination make for wonderful poetry.
ReplyDeleteThank you Victoria, it is nice to see you again!
DeleteIt feels mystical and dreamy this tiger moon...
ReplyDeleteI believe it would be a mystical place where dreams can take form.
DeleteI like the images the tiger moon and hawk convey, both dream-like and very concrete and strong.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gabriella - they are both strong totem animals within the dreamworld.
DeleteI felt I could hear your poem like a song. It is lovely and dreamy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Myrna :-)
DeleteThoughts doth flow in my head

Leaves me wanting more.

your words make my day merry
tiger moon sings - sublime...
This has such an other-worldly feel to it...magical and mythical....and if sorrow flees on the wings of a hawk, then sign me up too, please...that is a ride I'd like to take :-)
ReplyDeletehaha - This comment made me smile as I would gladly fly with the hawk on any given day.
DeleteHow important it seems for our brains to go on holiday when we sleep and dream of our longings to be other than ourselves.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess we all need a holiday from reality sometimes. But, what is reality really? Thanks for visiting.
Deletenight quickly fades, day arrives soon
ReplyDeletebated breath I hang from a thread
Reality can be most unfair! One would like the good times to linger on. Great thoughts Truedessa!
