entranced aslumber o'er woodgreen moss
chanced whispers call and dance
into a dream a woodnymph trilled
to steal of hearts romance
gossamer wings paint airy trails
through twighlight's eerie hue
where floating fairy fingers lead
beneath bows of deja vu
and there a star, a dream fortold
of love so long subdued
yeilds a clue and stole a heart
a leaf shaped silver shoe
through carpet green oer tumbled root
bracken thorn and sinued vine
flight of nymph guides light of moon
race of heart and dreams entwine
across the seeds of hope's reveal
bathed in starlight's mercurial pond
the princess of the greenwood dell
sensed promise of beyond
upon the shore of restless night
now a saviour figure stands
the key of future promise held
a leaf shape in it's hand
betwixt the realms of nightfalls sigh
and leafsfall daylight's drone
where woodnymph play neath dragons beard
a dream may rest its home
for each sleeping prayer on lip becomes
words of woven quilt to treasure
when midnight creatures fascinations bring
to our slumbers worthy pleasure

Wow, this was truly one heck of a journey Dusk. Thanks. Your imagery is phenomenal and this painted world feels so vivid and enticing. It's all one ethereal dream.
This is something I wrote a while back. It's good to reflect back upon writing this because I was in a rare poetic frame of mind that allowed romance with this fantasy world. An other worldly state really which i wish i could achieve more often. I can't force whatever it is but looking back I'm pleased it happens now and again.
Well after reading this piece of classical prose I shall look forward to dreaming of those fairy people as sleep descends my dear friend. - You excel with this write on night's promise - must add this gem to my faves..
I wish I could find this frame of mind more often. Thank you Fay.
You can never go wrong with a fairy tale poem. Wonderful stuff Dusk. I had to reread it a couple more times. Loved it.
Thank you Saxon, pleased you enjoyed it.
wow, just wow! this is truly an exceptional piece.
' gossamer wings paint airy trails
through twighlight's eerie hue'
so so very beautiful, dear poet!
Thank you Aradhya, I'm pleased you liked this piece.
An incredible imagery
Took me on a roller coaster ride
Well worded dear Dusk
Thanks spiller.
The scope of this poem is just breathtaking. The rhyming pattern and cadence is sublime. Would that such dreams may come. Absolutely beautiful!
Oh I'd love to have dreams such as this. Thanks Bella.
This is great stuff. I personally love story poems, and this is a worthy portrayal of their value. The fantasy setting is ideal. the tone of the poem is spot on. Your phrasings and colorations are exquisite. "A leaf shaped silver shoe" is a masterful invention. What a dream! - Phil A.
To be honest I don't know where it came from. I'd love to be this creative more often rather than voicing memories or my grumbles on here. Thank you MF.
Gentle, serene, dreamy, a fairy tale.....
I hope to have such a dream tonight.
May you have many such dreams find love lingering there.
Love the style of this. My favourite line is a leaf shaped silver shoe
Yes, they don't sell those on amazon do they LOL. Thank you anna.
Your pen most surely has a golden nib my friend ........... this is more than just dreamy ...... Neville
As I've said in comments here, I wish I could find the frame of mind i was in whilst writing this more often. I'm wondering whether some of it came out of a bottle LOL.
