Once Upon A

Once upon a dream

all was not as it seemed

tattered wings she wanted to fly

soaring high in a  sapphire sky

Once upon a star

she made a wish from afar

penning words from her heart

language of love,  work of art

Once upon a dragon

a story began to happen

navigator of the vast heavens

following illumination of sevens

Once upon a song

she found a place to belong

creating bridges between the worlds

in darkness mystical light unfurled

Once upon a love

she  danced in wispy clouds above

to the beat of  her poetic heart

teary eyed, her dreams fell apart

Autumn's Calling

Truedessa's Collection

Autumn reflections
harmonizing with nature
patchwork of color

grasping for understanding

mystery of fallen leaves

 ~

 Autumn's brilliant song
melancholy scented trails
climbing mountaintops
leaves fluttering to the ground
following tall tree spirits

Early Morning

Truedessa's Collection

A sliver of sunlight

ushers in a new day

footprints of yesterday

are washed away

waves whispering

a morning song

gulls laugh in the

ocean sprays

cloud people

awaken early

to a spectrum of light

there are castles

to build and dreams

to fulfill

written for dVerse

a quadrille of 44 words

incorporating the word early

Altered REALity

unknown source

She awakens in her dreams

to an altered reality...

in this world beyond the stars

he lifts her up on open wings

transcendent love he takes her

higher reaching rolling peaks of

desire

traveling in a supernatural world

she spins in a counter-clockwise

rotation...

flying  on an elevated plane of existence

never has she felt so high...

face to face

 cheek to cheek

   breath to breath

     heart to heart

        soul to soul

then the unimaginable

morning light; over the horizon

he drifts away, leaving her

alone in an autumn sky

tumbling to earth she hadn't

realized how far she had flown

crashing into a field of lost dreams

her wings torn, her greatest love

gone...darkness falls upon the

land just as the sun meets her

eyes...

alone once again she cries

whispering I will see you again

my love under the hunter's moon

a promise from her lips...

Who Can?

free images - original artist unknown

Moon rising near the Joshua tree

gateway appears, quarter past three

I walk alone on a  desert road

trying to decipher mystical codes

who can; silence a thousand drums

apparitions speak in ancient tongue

tall cactus guard the canyon walls

darkness dwells, mourning falls

stumbling upon an angel of poems

welcome to the door of perception

the journey is not; about perfection

open your mind, to a poetic world

cosmic dust, the universe unfurls

who can; silence a thousand voices

chanting mantras; spiritual choices

glimpsing a vision of future days

when will this dust storm go away

stumbling upon an angel of song

walking through a portal of time

synchronicity, rhythm and rhyme

awakening my eyes filled with tears

can harmony exist in coming years

who can; silence the phoenix's cries

with a single flap, lighting the sky

rising from ashes, a warrior reborn

giving life to spirits tired and worn

stumbling upon an angel of dream

author's note: sharing tidbits
of a dream-walk.
