With every sunrise
I love you more
Your smiling eyes
Everything I adore
Thru time and space
We’ve kept our love
Explosive cosmic energy
Everything we’re made of
Sparks of passion
Igniting every day
This volcanic connection
Can’t stay away
Everything you are
Is everything I am
I can’t stop feeling
So I send a telegram
Heart wrapped up
A gift for you
Everything I do
I do for you

With firmly shut eyes
and a flick of her wrist,
the incantation rolled easily
off the tip of her tongue.
And as she spoke
those gracious words,
a magical menagerie
of spinning sparks
flickered to life
in pulsating dances
radiating their resplendence
for all the world to see.
It was an unforgettable spectacle
worthy of wonder
which, would ultimately change
the course of time.

Writing prompt: The sorcerers staff and the wise child
There it was
That first spark
Sputtering to life
Like pixie dust fireflies
Dancing round her head
Her blushing brow
Tattling the truth
Neath the flicker
Of a misty moon

Crisp autumn bells
Shiver in the breeze
Amongst the tender mulberry
And the grand evergreens
Enchanted they dance
A swirling colorful sea
Those delicate golden clusters
Come alive just for me

I used to live
In a little house
On a hill
And oh the views
So beautiful
Even still
A magical place
For sure
It was
A first real home
All just
Because
By the window
I would stand
And stare
Gazing out toward the meadows
Inhaling sweet
Fresh air
Everyday
My love
Did grow
For this amazing place
God did
Bestow
Then one day
My dream
Did fade
My window gone
Another sacrifice
Made
Time couldn’t forget
The love
That grew
My heart more content then
Than it ever
Even knew
That magical place
Now
Deeply hidden
A place
Where my dreams
Were secretly written
I’d give anything
To have
Just one more day
I honestly can’t believe
How long
I’ve stayed away
I think I must have left
My heart
Upon that hill
Because the tug upon it
Is there
Even still
