sometimes the veil is unpredictable
a silence lurks behind
magical or deceptive!

***

when the enchanter offers his attire
wear his silvery shimmer
walk with him to explore

***

the woods, the web, the light, the ink of night
a perfect blend of life but
green love enthralls the soul.

Thank you Colleen for a unique prompt. The challenge this week is to choose a card (above) from the “Dream Your Joy Oracle Cards” by Judy Mastrangelo.  Look at each card and pick the one (or all) that speaks to you. You can write about the image or something in the image that grabs your attention. Let the card speak to you. 

I have tried to interpret the cards with three kimo poems.

Thank you for reading my poetry. For more poetry, hang out with  Hues Of Hope

Abandoned princess
Sits by the dark pond, ordained
To usher in light
Her tresses create that magic
The dilemma of drenching haunts.

Dendrophilous dame
Held captive by clawed tentacles
Enigmatic entity

A statue comes alive
When darkness encompasses her
Spiritual sojourn

Some smiles bewitch
Only when all lights go out
Halloween magic!

Your eyes enchant
Our love shimmers through them
Feral and fiery!

Island We loved

Each morning we would rush out
To swim to the ‘Angel Island’
Inhabited by colorful fairies
We wanted to live that belief.

Ah! The magic of moments…
Enamored by the beauty around us
We made it our second home
Summer brought those blessings.

Showered with rose petals
We sailed into another world
A realm unknown to man
Where melodies of nature charmed.

Immersed in the poetry of water
We walked the magical path
Flowery beds beckoned us
We smiled sinking deep into reveries.

Intoxicated by the arabesque of fairies
We too twirled with joy
Friendship is a celestial gift –
Unequivocal and unparalleled.

The Dance

Ah! The invitation! The exhilaration!
A dream come true!

She looked forward to the dance party – an annual ritual that she had seen from the seams. Today she would be the center of attraction – the lady with the veil, an enigma for everyone.

Eager to see the lady, we started the long trek to the magical land, hoping to reach before getting dehydrated. A mirage that seemed so near yet kept receding.

A greenway led us to the circular dance stage. Mist melted as we neared the venue.

One beat converted the stones into drums. We watched, mesmerized by the music. The sun suddenly grew dim, as if commanded by some unknown force.

The crescendo could be heard beyond eternity.

And there she was! A perfect figure, as if chiseled by an artist, making her first appearance. Twirling round and round, creating a divine circle around her…no beginning…no ending, just like the circle of life – palpable, perpetual.

Many yearned to touch her but a weird circle of light whirled around her. Slowly she drifted into dusk. Just like life.
